The Partido Popular Mayor of Fuengirola, Esperanza Oña, has denied that the town is bankrupt. The PSOE has claimed that the debt has risen to nearly the size of a year’s income. The PSOE General Secretary in the town, and Socialist Spokesman, Javier García León, said today Esperanza Oña had ‘dismissed’ the idea when questioned in a press conference. García León said the Town Hall owes nearly 100 million € and that, he claimed, meant that the municipal accounts were in a ‘serious situation of financial unsustainability’.
