Feijóo: “If I sign an agreement, it’s to be fulfilled.” And you, Madam Mayor?

OPINION | We can Xàbia

“If I sign an agreement, it’s to honor it.” This is what the president of PP referring to the agreement signed by Sánchez in the top NATO. Is this out of political opportunism, or is it a conviction and a value of that organization? It would be great if your party colleague Rosa Cardona, our mayor, followed this maxim.

In the debate prior to the municipal elections, a PACT was presented for all political forces in our municipality to sign. The pact is very clear and concise, designed to restore public trust in the politicalCountering the idea that "During the campaign they promise what they want and then they do what they want, not what they have promised"; it basically demands that the party in government publish its program and periodically evaluate and publish its compliance, setting deadlines: the first publication before the end of 2023 and annually a balance of what has been executed.

We don't know the reason for this noncompliance, but it would be highly desirable for the local government to abide by what was signed (as its leader says he would) and begin to restore confidence in our leaders.

• Each annual budget will have a document that will relate it to the government program.
• I will give regular information on the evolution of the government program, at least once a year; assessing the established indicators and even adding some or modifying them if deemed appropriate, explaining the reasons for the change.

The fulfillment of this pact is an opportunity for Xàbia that Podemos will implement as soon as it enters the government of our population, seeking:
