Mensaje de Observaciones sobre créditos adicionales en la municipalidad de Bogotá

Abstract

The image contains news about the Message of Observations that the Mayor addresses to a draft agreement on additional credits that is being processed in the Municipality of Bogotá. The Mayor recognizes the need to increase the salaries of municipal employees due to the increase in prices and the high exchange rate, but points out the lack of income to cover these expenses. He explains that the municipal Budget is completely balanced and that any increase in expenses would cause a significant deficit. He proposes suspending the agreement until it can be evaluated whether the income allows the commitments to be met. He criticizes the unequal distribution of salary increases and warns of the risk of bankruptcy if this progression continues. It emphasizes the importance of equitably rewarding all municipal employees and draws attention to the potential negative repercussions of ignoring these observations. The message concludes with a firm declaration to do their duty by pointing out the inconveniences of the proposed agreement and safeguarding their responsibility for the municipality's fiscal situation.
