MADRID, 6 Nov. (EUROPA PRESS) –
United We Can has proposed a modification of the local regime law so that the municipalities that fail to meet the objective of budgetary stability, that of public debt or that of the spending rule do not have to submit to the requirements determined by the Ministry of Finance to the time to make your economic and financial plan.
The deputy of United We Can Joan Mena has presented in Congress a bill, to which Europa Pres has had access, by which several articles of the rule that regulates the bases of the local regime are modified.
Specifically, it proposes the repeal of article 116 bis, which, precisely, obliges municipalities that fail to meet their debt or spending objectives to submit to the requirements of the Ministry of Finance when they prepare their economic-financial plan.
These requirements that United We Can intend to repeal go through a merger proposal with an adjoining municipality in the same province, organizational rationalization or an increase in income to finance the mandatory services provided by the local entity, among others.
But this article is not the only one that wants to repeal the ‘purple’ formation, but rather proposes at least liquidating several sections of this rule that controls the bases of the local regime, such as the one that speaks of the resizing of the local public sector.
They also propose to modify an article so that the monopoly system may be authorized only for reserved essential services, eliminating municipalized services.
Another of the aspects that United We Can want to include in this regulation refers to the fact that the expropriation of companies and the rescue of concessions will be governed by the general precepts on forced expropriation and what is determined by the legislation on contractual matters.
This expropriation and redemption will be subject to these procedures: “the duty to indemnify the concessionaire for the value of the assets, taking into account in all cases the degree of amortization calculated from the highest amortized value between the accredited in the studies for the determination of the price of the service or the accounting amortization practiced by the concessionaire, as well as the damages and losses, if due, incurred by the concessionaire, including the future benefits that he stops receiving, determined as the least of the benefits established in the studies for determine the price of the service, or the price credited by any other means by the concessionaire”.
