Two billion not spent in 2023 by the Solinas Council . Resources planned but then not used which highlight, according to Alessandra Todde, " the inability to spend public resources on the necessary solutions to Sardinia's problems ".
An inability, highlights the president, which has caused "enormous damage to everyone with the lack of investments in health, transport, services, work, social and youth policies ".
A gap, that of unspent resources, highlighted several times by the current majority. But today, during the meeting of the ninth regional council, the precise figure emerged by approving the 2023 budget report .
“We approved it by the end of May as we promised,” says Todde, specifying that the statement highlights an available surplus of almost 531 million, an increase compared to 171 the previous year. Resources that " can be reprogrammed after the approval of the Court of Auditors, therefore presumably after the summer ".
But the expenditure not carried out in 2023, continues the M5s exponent, "appears to be much higher if we also consider the restricted surplus, i.e. the set of planned but unused resources, which the latest estimates quantify at around 2 billion".
A "serious limitation in the action of the last legislature", attacks Todde, recalling that the Court of Auditors had also repeatedly described "a limited ability to plan and implement the spending programs adopted" .
With the new council , things "will change completely" , announces the president. «Promptly planning resources, avoiding the waste of public money , putting people back at the centre, protecting Sardinians and their needs and restoring transparency between those who govern and citizens: these are the principles at the center of our attention and our government action ».
«We will try not to make the same mistakes as in the previous legislature», states the budget councilor Giuseppe Meloni , «first of all by planning the resources in time», because « we must avoid as much as possible the formation of high administrative surpluses which, as reiterated by the Court of Auditors, they denote poor planning capacity and which, moreover, can be difficult to reprogram both due to the training times and the types of expenditure they can finance. All available funds must be spent in the best possible way for the good of Sardinia."
