I always been interested in local political affairs and especially on issues that people who are concerned about the political debate, we consider particularly important.
remember especially when I was a councilman, that although all subjects were treated with seriousness and thoroughness, taking into account that the institution was a matter Municipal Politicians and the conformábamos other, and that this was well above this, a feature which I lost in the last legislature, when appointing the term budget or bylaws, we are all bristling a little skin for the special importance of these issues and the ruggedness of themselves. It was time to leave everything, to change the party chips and sit for hours over many days to work, together, to shape a document, tedious and sometimes obnoxious, filled with numbers, percentages, reports, reviews, comparisons , but we all knew that we respect and obedience.
budget meetings were separate Commissions, Boards, plenary sessions and all kinds of political assemblies. Councillors to which we had been assigned that responsibility, fulfilled our obligation to support and work daily in each of the Commissions and once completed, we "encerrábamos" sometimes until the wee hours of the morning, to continue working with our economic enemy budget , knowing that each political group, each councilman, had a different view of the assumptions being made, and what is more, with the assurance that we all knew that we would not achieve the necessary consensus for unanimous approval because each one had a very different vision of the needs for our people, but that did not prevent further work. Justice is even recognize the infinite patience, at the time, area president of finance, Don Gabriel Tarrier, for me, a great councilman, but mostly a hard worker, respectful person if ever there and no ideological differences were a matter for discussion but for dialogue and, often, especially in my case, to consolidate a personal friendship.
Even with these romantic ideas, I went yesterday to the House to witness live the Budget debate in 2011, asked the procedure followed for this and was told that "there has been no meetings about it, only the debate in Committee estate "and that it had only advance document a few days before for study and analysis.
No value entered first, it was not the right place and secondly because we know the contents of the approved budget, I just stick with two things: first, have increased the budget of our people, I think FIVE MILLION EUROS (831 million pesetas) in the last four years, Priego has changed in recent years for this increase?, and second that we have already cast without collecting the four million Euros for the privatization of our waters. For me that is enough to assess and make my own opinion.
But what surprised me most and what I could not contain the outline of a smile, quite ironic, is when the President of the Treasury, explaining the budget began to thank the Andalusian Party collaboration, strange thing I'm considering the tension between the two political formations throughout this term, the tension that by morbid Full display of the television just to see who got more nervous and saying who the "barbaric" bigger, and in which "you more" and "Go to your" was the most interesting debate could admire among PA-PSOE PSOE versus-PA, plus catch up on complaints, lawsuits and other legal proceedings brought between the two during these four years.
I could not believe what could happen, but I was reassured to hear the criticism founded by former mayor, Juan Carlos Perez Cabello, at the beginning of his remarks, criticisms that were diluted slowly, smoothly and progressively, but not only but which diluted the pair were going to increase, thanks and praise, just because the PSOE had considered two proposals of PA, one that I remember and one that had deleted the game, I think € 50,000 Planning Manager and had been for industrial land. Not what can be done in Priego with the minimum budget for industrial development, but this simple detail, that wink PSOE, had duped the PA, which was filled with happiness, I joined both the plot of this movie, I must admit that the end of the performance of the former mayor made me sad, I expected a happy ending, approval bluntly, mutual and reciprocal forgiveness and why not, including a hug with a kiss, take us to all the participants and viewers to our tears came and put an end to the knot of the throat that you have at that time. But it was not only one abstention, only with a "no vote against but not for, but definitely count me not to say that I am against you" we had to agree, believing that was the end of the argument.
But as in any good film had not reached the final. It was time for the intervention of the major players, actors, and certainly not disappoint me, accustomed to such interventions by Mr Tarrier, where we put all the hair stand on end, its content and its composure Although at first, like Bill, rushed to the unconscious voting against the budget, when the time seemed as if the intense white light is plenary hall were off little by little, a romantic music seemed to come from themselves radiators of the room, his voice soft, sweet, still in his seat and staring eyes of its target, PA not only grateful to abstention, but praised their cooperation and vigilance, responsibility and dedication, and his words seemed to end with a ... ... ... .. "tells me that I'm counting on you, forget the past make me so you want. " It seemed that their bodies were merged into one, that is whispering in his ear as those romantic words that said "look like it was not so bad?" "I just did what I had to do but deep down I love you." The end of the love story it endorsed the first mayor, who not only confirmed the happy ending to his benevolence and blessing but in the dim light and music prodigal's famous velvety phase that ... ... ... ... ... ... ... "what the polls and the polls can be attached not man put asunder."
Everything was ready and well prepared, the public, among whom I stood, silent, still, nobody knew what to say, a smile covering up the tenderness of heart to love so cruel drama with a happy ending, but the services municipal protocol all anticipated, viewers knew they could not move from their seats, his mood would not allow him to react, so a voice-over "would be cold as a tomb, said "the next item on the agenda, viewing room ...", as you will understand I got up and went along with everyone around me and one other Councillor PA could not avoid going to take some air despajarse to so much emotion.
