- The refurbishment of calle Beatas and its adjacent streets, the pedestrian access and the construction of a free parking lot in front of the Santa Lucía Hospital, or the increase in investment to combat long-term unemployment and help entrepreneurs, "are some of the the things that we have included, but that can not be undertaken if we continue to block the municipal budget, "warns the Cs spokesperson

After the extraordinary session of the Finance and Interior Commission, which has discussed the modification of the General Budget of 2018, extended 2017 and the budget plan for the period 2018-2020, the councilman and spokesman for Citizens in Cartagena, Manuel Padín, has indicated that "MC and Podemos have been left alone in their efforts to wear down the Government of Cartagena not supporting the authorization of the almost 13 million euros of the surplus of 2017 to amortize debt, pay suppliers, and invest in neighborhoods and deputations ".

For Manuel Padín, "we can not expect anything else from the populist block Podemos-MC, if they continue with that attitude they will be reduced to an irrelevant political caricature, if they are not already".

On the other hand, Manuel Padín has celebrated that "the PP have rectified their decision and have assumed as their own the position that Citizens took from the first moment: support the investment of the surplus and commit a part to the execution to the pending works of the budgets participative, and another part, neighborhoods and councils that need it most, we appreciate in this regard the pressure exerted on this party the neighborhood groups of Santa Lucia, Lo Campano and Los Mateos, Santiago Urbanization and FAVCAC itself.

Citizen spokesman explained that in the budget agreement reached by his group with the municipal government, also covers "not only the execution of participations, and a good number of neighborhoods and councils, but also an investment commitment for the Fénix Plan of integral intervention in the neighborhood of Los Mateos, and the improvement and expansion of the Greenway of Barrio Peral ".

The Budget is still in the air

"We appreciate that the Popular Party has abandoned its stubbornness, as we asked, and has helped to unlock the investment of the surplus, but we regret that it remains committed not to negotiate with the Government the general budget," said the spokesman of Cs He has argued that in his Municipal Group "the first thing that has called attention to the statement yesterday released by the Popular Party on its offer to reach an agreement is to warn that this offer is" non-negotiable "," we have rarely encountered a political contradiction of this magnitude;

imposing a list of investments has nothing to do with a negotiation, it is rather an arbitrary monologue, a pretext for not giving up, negotiating is reaching agreements, giving something to get something, is good policy;

if we substitute the negotiating table for the public statements with the belief that we have the absolute truth, we will not reach anything at all, "said the Cs spokesman who asks" why the PP does in Cartagena with the budget, exactly what criticizes the PSOE at the national level;

pure incoherence ".

"It is very easy to do what they have done MC or PP, endorsing millions of euros to the first thing that comes to mind, that we can all do, but make a common point, assess the time we have to execute a plan priority investment to adapt to reality, match the Government's objectives with their own, is more complicated, "said Manuel Padin, who points out that" perhaps the PP, after 20 years of absolute majorities, has forgotten how to negotiate, or what is the opposition, in that case I would remind you that agreeing the financial planning of a large City Council governed by a minority is a complex process that requires making compatible several investment plans, with the deadlines, costs and resources necessary to make it viable, only that can guarantee that an agreement is reached between two or more parties, and avoid false expectations and neighborhood frustration. "

The refurbishment of Calle Beatas and its adjacent ones, the pedestrian access and the construction of a free parking lot in front of the Santa Lucía Hospital, or the increase in investment to combat long-term unemployment in Cartagena and help entrepreneurs, "are some of the things that we have included, but that can not be undertaken if we continue to block the municipal budget, "said the orange spokesman who launches a notice to sailors," a refusal in the next ordinary plenary session would enable the PSOE to cross the other baipas of Beniel, that is to say, to summon a question of confidence that would lead almost surely in an automatic approval of its accounts ".

"Cartagena needs to move forward, it is time for the political parties to demonstrate to the citizens of Cartagena that they can reach agreements for the common good," the Citizens spokesperson says.
