Carlos Mazón announced this morning the elimination of six public companies created by Ximo Puig’s government and an audit of the entire public sector due to the “irregularities” detected in these companies by the Sindicatura de Comptes and the Intervention services of the Valencian General Assembly . The audit will serve, as announced by the president, to “clarify responsibilities” of the former Botànic executive, “including criminal ones.” “The reports say that PSPV, Compromís and Podemos dedicated themselves to spending without control on aspects of dubious legality,” he stressed.
In this regard, he has accused the previous government of contracting by contract for more than 700 million euros, of payments to third parties “without control or authorization” and of “lack of rigor” in the management of public resources, a “set of alarms” that lead to this detailed study of the entire public sector. Furthermore, he has denounced that “4,000 contracts were made without authorization from the general budget directorate.”
It has announced the suppression of the Valencian Energy Agency, the Digitalization and Cybersecurity Agency, the Food Information and Control Agency, the Waste and Circular Economy Agency, the Climate Change Agency and the Valencian School of Public Administration due to “duplications” with general directorates. already existing. Furthermore, he has indicated that he “does not rule out” more closures of instrumental public sector companies.
Mazón has assured that the “non-political” personnel assigned to these organizations “will join” the general directorates that already carry out these tasks. “There is nothing to fear unless they have committed some irregularity,” said the popular one, who confirmed that this measure will not mean savings for the public treasury since these entities were not yet operational. “They do not represent an expense because they were not able to develop them, but we avoid opening the door to random hiring. We close the door to plugging, which they left it conveniently prepared,” Mazón insisted.
(((There will be expansion)))
