Council debt impossible to determine, says PA

JIMENA (Press release) Opposition party Partido Andalucista says in a statement that, while the government-appointed administrator (all town halls have one) recognizes the situation, unpaid past bills keep appearing and there is no way of knowing how many are yet to come. Despite repeated requests for information and even under the belief that comes from promises to the contrary received, more such bills have turned up. This, says the PA, means that  plenary sessions will be flooded with these new bills, some of them over ten years old, and there will be no way of knowing beforehand to what figure they amount. Nevertheless, they will be approved by the PSOE majority. Which is why the PA has requested a "signed certificate and if necessary, a sworn statement from the  politicians responsible that there are no unpaid bils for services renedered before December 31, 2010. At some point we must know exactly how much this Council owes," says the PA, "but that will never happen as long as long-standing unpaid bills keep turning up and are approved."
