Socialist councilor Marta Aparicio has warned this morning in the Finance Commission of the “serious effects” that it can have on the 2026 budgets and investments that the government of Natalia Chueca being breaking, at this point of the year, the forecasts of land sale, valued at 72 million euros.
The socialist mayor has recriminated to the PP that in the budgets always make expense forecasts that are “fundamentally lie” and that normally fixes with “hundreds of credit modifications” throughout the year. But the budget has another problem, has warned of Aparicio, which “are the forecasts for the sale of land.” “Already in 2024, if I’m not mistaken, almost 18 million were budgeted, but the revenues were 4.5 million,” he said.
For Aparicio, this year the situation is still “more worrying” by betting this income to two very important sales operations, which total 72 million euros. It is about the sale of soils in Montecanal and on Hispanicity. “Beyond the political criticism of how we seem to us, we have found a procedure with more than 1,800 allegations of the neighbors and we will see how the sale of that land ends. And then, there is the floor of Montecanal. An operation that the City Council said in its day that it was going to enter 17 million and the last report of the file values at 8.5 million,” he explained.
Aparicio remembers that next year European funds will be stopped entering
In conclusion, Aparicio explained, if the Operation of Hispanidad and the floor of Montecanal fails for the value given by the City Council itself, “we can let 64 of the planned 72 million enter.” “This can be a problem for the city’s investment, aggravated next year, that we will stop entering European funds,” he said.
Aparicio has shown its concern that land sale revenues are linked to the payments of the Romareda. “We are worried that they have been all the necessary investment for the soccer field at two floor sales operations, which today are of doubtful success. What plans does this fail?” He asked the Minister of Finance in the Commission.
Aparicio has emphasized that if you have to pay the works of La Romareda, already started, and there are others also underway, such as those of the Huerva or the Coso, “What will be done in 2026 and how is it going to be invested?” “This can be a serious budgetary problem next year,” Aparicio concluded, which stressed that this time the PP will not be able to blame the central government, since this morning its intention was known to unlock deliveries on account to communities and municipalities.
