Much of the debt was irregularly contracted according to the new three-way administration in the town.
The new team at Benalmádena Town Hall who came in after the municipal elections a year ago, found facturas totalling 44.7 million € waiting to be paid left behind by the independent mayor, Enrique Bolín. Many of the billed items had been contracted or purchased in an irregular way, according to El País, and on some occasions there was not corresponding administrative paperwork.

There is now a three way coalition governing the town, led by Socialist mayor, Javier Carnero, who says he wants to check out all the anomalies in the accounting before committing to a payment plan.

Despite the debt left in his hands the new mayor insists that investment is needed and there is a 24 million € plan in place for the next four years, including urgent action in the town’s schools which the mayor says ‘have not been touched in 12 years’.
