Susana Mut, spokesperson for the municipal group Ciudadanos has pointed out that “the City Council of Dénia has already approved a motion in the plenary session of July 2020, where the Generalitat Valenciana was urged to enable a budgetary modification in the item Ports, Airports and Costs that will reflect the investments in maintenance and improvement of the port facilities of regional competence for the allocation of 40% of the amount of income from fees and taxes, and contribute to an equitable and fair distribution of the collection between the ports of the Generalitat Valenciana. "
"It was also urged to Recognize the breach of the law and the non-reversal of a total of € 1.475.313 in the Port of Dénia in 2019 after knowing the collection of this, which amounted to € 4.014.765, investing only a total of € 130.593. According to the law, they should reinvest € 1.605.906 (deficit of € 1.475.313), and define and establish a compensation mechanism for the non-invested nominative item. Specifically, line FM65076A of the Budgets of the Generalitat Valenciana 2021, of the 514.30 program corresponding to "New Investments, maintenance and improvements in the Port of Dénia" for 2021 was € 1.002.390 ", said the orange mayor.
For her part, Councilor Estefanía Schwamb, has emphasized, in "the general surprise that has caused that this nominative item has been eliminated throughout this year and is not reinvested in the Port of Denia in 2021, failing again the Law of the Generalitat itself approved in 2014. "
Another of the points presented by the Motion approved yesterday was the urgent need for the establishment of the PORT de DÉNIA Entity. An entity that is destined to make the decisions that affect the port and its surroundings, counting on the city and social agents. In short, that the residents of Dénia are the ones who decide how they want their own port to be.
