El peri\u00f3dico econ\u00f3mico m\u00e1s influyente del mundo analiza hoy la campa\u00f1a electoral espa\u00f1ola. Habla del extremo endeudamiento de los ayuntamientos.

Habla de una deuda de 200 millones en la recogida de la basura, de una deuda reconocida de 127 millones que el partido conservador de la oposici\u00f3n cree que es mucho mayor, cuenta que las gasolineras no sirven a la Polic\u00eda Local o a los bomberos, Bruno Garc\u00eda (de Comercio Ja\u00e9n) explica que las luces de las calles funcionan “de favor” porque no se paga y fuentes cercanas a la alcaldesa han explicado al peri\u00f3dico de NYC que Pe\u00f1alver gestiona la deuda “lo mejor que puede”. A continuaci\u00f3n pego los p\u00e1rrafos que se refieren a Ja\u00e9n. <\/p>\n

There are also signs of problems in the southern Andalucia region, where cites are, on average, 28 months late in paying their bills, according to Francisco Jardon, president of the trade association representing the largest municipal sanitation companies. <\/p>\n

Jaen, a city of 117,000 nestled against steep hills in the olive-producing region, is one of the worst offenders. It owes its trash collection company \u20ac200 million, the result of debt that piled up for nearly a decade. The company, in turn, stopped paying its trash collectors late last year, triggering a strike that left mounds of garbage piling up in the town’s streets and squares.<\/p>\n

In October, police and fire vehicles were left without fuel after the station that supplied them shut off its pumps in a demand for past-due payment. <\/p>\n

The current Socialist administration of Jaen says it includes payments to suppliers in its deficit tally of around \u20ac127 million. The opposition conservative party, however, has maintained that debt is actually higher. <\/p>\n

Bruno Garcia, who heads the city’s chamber of commerce, says he increasingly hears from companies that the government asks for “a loan of service” in which a supplier, such as a road maintenance company, performs services like replacing streetlights as a favor\u2014but holds off on submitting a bill.<\/p>\n

“There’s an effort not to formalize the debt,” he said.<\/p>\n

A city hall spokeswoman declined to comment, except to say that the current mayor is managing the fiscal situation “as best she can.”<\/p>\n
