Every district within the final 2019 funds obtained €60,000 (in 2024 there isn’t any funds allocation for districts)
In whole €60,000 for 11 districts makes €660,000. A median of €7.60 per inhabitant.

Over 4 years it will be round €400,000 much less (with out making an allowance for the residents who aren’t registered however pay their taxes to have companies that they don’t use all 12 months spherical).

So, is it by likelihood that Orihuela Costa will get much less cash? Or is there a goal of all governments in Orihuela to destroy Orihuela Costa ?
We at PIOC assume that Orihuela is milking the cow of Orihuela Costa, not permitting us to develop correctly. Are they’re decided to wreck Orihuela Costa as a lot as doable?
We are able to see that within the lack of companies and infrastructure, garbage assortment, colleges, police and municipal companies, which in lots of situations are non-existent!
If folks in Orihuela Costa need to have correct companies, higher values for his or her properties, extra security and safety, higher colleges, higher roads and so forth, we urge our neighbours to hitch neighbourhood associations corresponding to AVCRL and to hitch PIOC. The primary is free, the second prices a small payment, which needs to be seen as an funding.
The Orihuela authorities turns its again on the coast, takes your cash and spends it on the town, not the coast! These are the very individuals who pay the native authorities and its workers wages, who pay their taxes solely to be ignored and handled as second class residents.
Is that what you need? No! Certainly you need to be handled pretty and with respect, not be milked dry!
