- "We understand that residents of the San Ginés neighborhood feel cheated by the previous coalition of MC and PSOE, large projects are announced at the beginning of the legislature, the months, the years pass, and fall into the most absolute oblivion" , laments the spokesman for Citizens in Cartagena, Manuel Padín
Cartagena, Wednesday, May 9.
In mid-2016, the City of Cartagena requested the transfer of the Antonio Arévalo school with the aim of preparing its spaces for socio-cultural and sports activities.
The agreement for this assignment was ratified on August 2, 2017 in the Governing Council.
Shortly after, in the ordinary plenary session of last October, the motion defended by the popular councilor, Antonio Calderón, was approved so that the municipal government could modify the first point of the transfer agreement to allow the socio-sanitary entities of Cartagena and its Region They could also use the spaces.
In addition, the extension of the assignment of at least two and ten years was requested.
According to the spokesman for Citizens in Cartagena, Manuel Padín, "since all these good intentions were announced and the transfer was requested, we have not heard anything again, nor are we aware that a euro has been invested, nor on the part of the Community or by the City Council ".
"In our buildings of the Palace Hall, we receive every week a crowd of groups, associations and entities that remind us of this failed project, and ask us when it will be possible," said Manuel Padin.
"We understand that the residents of the San Ginés neighborhood feel disappointed with the previous coalition of MC and PSOE, large projects are announced at the beginning of the legislature, the months, the years pass, and fall into the most absolute oblivion", regrets Manuel Padín who specifies that "José López was the one who committed himself to each and every one of the collectives with whom he met to prepare the old school, but it has been shown that it was just one more chapter in his long career of non-compliance and failures. "
For all the above, the Municipal Citizens Group has announced that it will present a battery of questions to clarify the situation of this property and try to unclog the project, "there is much to clarify, we do not even know if the agreement to add to the entities socio-health and the extension of the assignment was executed and accepted by the Community, we also want to assess what is the amount that must be invested to condition the facilities, if there is a specific project, and what administration should put the money, "he said the orange spokesman in Cartagena who clarifies that "this is the first step, clearing up unknowns, the second will be to prepare a strategy to achieve the necessary investment".
This school was closed in 2010 by the Autonomous Community, which has not carried out any work in it.
On the other hand, the councilman of Citizens has made sure to be aware that "the situation of Antonio Arévalo, is just one more example of the marked deficit in infrastructures and services suffered by this area of ​​the city."
