- "We have not seen anything of what they promised in the last session, among other things, some progress in the development of the Strategic Plan for Employment in Cartagena or our proposal accepted by the Government for the City to organize a conference on the Zones of Logistics activities in Spain, "laments the local spokesman for Citizens, Manuel Padín

- Ciudadanos advances that it will request its Parliamentary Group to also request the reactivation of the Local Employment Committee that has been paralyzed for six years

The Municipal Group of Citizens in Cartagena has once again demanded the convening of the Local Employment Board, meeting for the last time on April 24, 2017. Cs spokesman, Manuel Padín, claims to be tired of claiming the same thing over and over again , "More than 12 months in which we have not seen anything of what they promised in the last session, among other things, some progress in the development of the Strategic Plan for Employment in Cartagena or our proposal accepted by the Government so that the City Council organize a conference on the Areas of Logistics Activities in Spain, with representatives of the ZAL of Algeciras, Asturias or Valencia to know their experience, as well as the influence they have exerted on the economic development of their environment ".

"This government does not seem to care about the number of unemployed that Cartagena suffers", laments Manuel Padín.

"Cartagena does not reduce unemployment at the same pace as other municipalities in the Autonomous Community, and the number of unemployed people have been stagnant for more than 17,500 people since the summer of 2017," the orange spokesman warned that one of the keys to Understanding why these figures do not improve is "the urban slowdown caused by the annulment of the General Plan of Urban Planning and the lack of strategic infrastructures due to the absence of sufficient regional and state investment, which slows the recovery of all the municipalities that make up the Region".

Against this background, the orange spokesman considered "inexplicable" that the Community has not moved a finger to convene, after almost six years, the Regional Employment Board, and that the City of Cartagena allows a year pass without calling the municipal. The Citizen spokesman recalled that in his last meeting with the Association of Young Entrepreneurs of Cartagena (AJE), they also demanded the reactivation of both tables and their participation in them.

The last time the Regional Committee was held was on November 28, 2012, at that time, responsible for Employment of the municipalities of the Comarca, as well as trade union delegates and business organizations were gathered three hours in San Miguel, and not even then managed to finalize some 26 proposals to combat unemployment.

"Citizens want to correct this joke, so we are going to ask our colleagues in the Assembly to promote a new call to refound the Regional Employment Board, with new assessments, new objectives, and new strategies, so that the commitment of continuous work over time, whoever is in the government of each of the municipalities from the year 2019, because the important thing is people, and not the political color of local executives.
