The mayor of Mijas, Josele González (PSOE), the first deputy mayor, José Carlos Martín (Cs), and the councillor for Finance, Roy Pérez (PSOE), reported this Tuesday that the surplus of the Mijas Town Hall currently stands at 121 million euros.

"Faced with the falsehoods that some have been spreading these days about the management that this government team is carrying out in the Mijas Town Hall, we counter with objective data. Thanks to the responsible management of our resources, we currently have savings of 121 million euros and zero debt, and all this while being one of the five municipalities with the lowest taxes in Spain", said the mayor, who stressed that these savings "have not only allowed us a great investment capacity but also to reach out to the most vulnerable people with a comprehensive package of social assistance to residents and groups".

For his part, Martin stressed that "in the last eight years we have left the debt at zero and we have lowered the IBI and other taxes twice. We have managed public money with rigour and responsibility and, as a result, we now have 121 million euros in the municipal coffers as well as large investments that we have been able to execute with our own funds. In short, less tax pressure for the residents and greater services and infrastructures".

Along the same lines, Perez, recalled that these savings have been maintained "even with the IBI down by 5%, a measure that affected the public coffers because they stopped receiving about 13 million euros but was a very positive measure for the pockets of the Mijeños and Mijeñas", stressing that "we have zero debt, therefore, it is possible to continue to address these investments so necessary for the municipality without resorting to a bank loan or penalizing the residents' budgets with an unjustifiable tax increase".
