"they are in a limited situation after many months without being paid, and in addition the treasury surplus has worsened by 1.2 million euros, reaching 5.1 million euros in negative"
The First Deputy Mayor has specified that "this is the management of the PSOE of Mr. Rocamora, after a legislature governing, pass the debt to suppliers and the self-employed and companies of Cehegín ... many of them without budgetary consignment, which implies that will have to be contemplated in the new budget that is approved in the next months, so that they can be paid Two and a half million euros in invoices for works that mostly do not have a contract, nor has a tender been made to proceed with their hiring , as the law marks, because what urged the Socialist Party in these last measures of the legislature was to capture a vote based on squandering the money of all the cehegineros ".

Alicia del Amor, meanwhile, has commented that "in the budget extended in 2019, the game is not only exhausted, but throws a deficit of less than 73,000 euros, which means that the Socialist Party, was spent at the festivities of 2018, the budget of 2018 and 2019 together and 73,000 euros more, for a total of 513,000 euros "
Therefore, before this fact, the mayor, has specified, that "we will make the best parties we can, with the very few resources we have, but our priority, at this time, is to respond to the hundreds of self-employed who demand These will be the most austere festivities in the recent history of our town thanks to the disastrous management of the Socialist Party of Cehegin, so, of course, we ask for the collaboration and understanding of the cehegineros. and we will use the imagination to supply the absence of money. "

"The reduction of the financial debt is the result of having paid the loan installments during this term, a question that any person who has a debt must do: pay the maturities of the same, but according to the forecast of indebtedness of the financial year 2015 to the 2019, at the end of that year it had to have pending depreciation at December 31, 5,333,154.03, so the debt has been reduced below what was expected, however, the only merit that can be attributed to the party socialist is to have paid like any Cehegin neighbor who has a loan his debt with the bank, it would have been only if they had not done it. "
"The financial debt has been paid, the repayments of the loans in the banks, but more than 2.5 million euros have been left without paying suppliers"

Both have affirmed that "we want that the City council of Cehegín is a guarantee for all its suppliers and, therefore, we will do everything possible to change this image of bad payer that the Socialists and Mr. Rocamora have left in these 4 years We want to take the opportunity to transmit sufficient serenity and commitment to suppliers to reverse this situation as soon as possible.
