Royal Decree 489/1995, of April 3, of convening of local elections and the Assemblies of Ceuta and Melilla, establishes in its article first the call of local elections for its celebration the next day 28 of May of 1995.

On the other hand, the Organic Law 5/1985 of 19 June of the General Electoral Regime, as amended by the Organic Laws 1/1987, of 2 April, 8/1991, of 13 March, 6/1992, of 2 November, 13/1994, of 30 March and 3/1995, of 23 In March, under Title III of the special provisions for municipal elections, it regulates the amounts of subsidies to electoral expenditure in Article 193, paragraph 4 of which states that ' the amounts referred to in the Previous paragraphs refer to constant pesetas. By Order of the Ministry of Economy and Finance, the updated amounts are fixed within five days of the call. "

The realization of the grants for electoral expenses, when expressed in constant pesetas from 1991 and 1994, according to the Organic Laws 8/1991 and 13/1994, requires the application of the rates of deflation that come determined by the applicable consumer price index in each case.

In its virtue, I have:

3. The limit of the electoral costs shall be that which results from multiplying by 13 pesetas the number of inhabitants corresponding to the population of the right of the constituencies where their candidacies are presented by each party, federation, coalition or grouping.

For each province, those who run for elections in at least 50 percent of their municipalities will be able to spend another 16,752,000 pesetas for each of the provinces in which they meet this condition.

4. In addition to the preceding paragraphs, the amount of the grant to the parties, federations, coalitions or groupings, of the electoral expenses incurred by direct and personal sending to the voters of envelopes and ballot papers or of propaganda and election publicity, shall conform to the following rules:
