A STRING of newly built public buildings worth €43 million are lying empty in Malaga province
Cash strapped councils either can not find the money for running costs or are in dispute with each other over who should pay.
A €1.4 million public kindergarten in La Cala de Mijas with room for 300 children was finished a year ago. But its classrooms remain closed as Mijas Town Council and the Andalucian Government argue over who should pay its running costs.
In Torremolinos the €4.1 million MunicipalHistoryMuseum, expected to open by October 2011, is nearly finished, but just one painting is available for display.
Other examples of buildings lying empty include the €11 million Congress and Trade Show Centre in Antequera and the €2 million Valle del Guadalhorce health centre in Cartama. In Ronda, seven different projects worth more than €5 million, including an Astronomy Centre, are in a similar situation.

Welcome to the legacy of Socialism. Spend, spend, spend, and let someone else work out how to pay for it. And then complain when that someone tries to balance the books.
