- The orange training spokesman, Manuel Padín, affirms that it would be really "extravagant" for the PP to do in Cartagena with the accounts exactly what the PSOE criticizes at the national level with the PGE, "that is, to present an amendment to the entire , impose a multimillion-dollar list of amendments, but refuse to negotiate with the local government, we would have moved on from Pedro Sánchez's No es No, to Francisco Espejo's No Es No, and for the PGE as well as for the municipal budgets, the only ones affected are the citizens".

The spokesman for Citizens in Cartagena, Manuel Padín, said today that "we are a few hours away from knowing if Partido Popular or Movimiento Ciudadano will be able to reach an agreement with the Government of Cartagena to unblock the municipal budget and thus allow, among other things, that the works of the participatory budgets of 2018 can be executed ".

"Cartagena has to start and MC or PP have a unique opportunity to include many of their amendments to the budgets, and the popular ones also better to abstain", explained Manuel Padín who understands that "for the Popular Party is not easy what we are asking for it, but the popular ones must keep in mind that they can come out very reinforced as a government party that was in Cartagena ".

"At this moment we have to show whether one is a statesman or not, and if Mr. Espejo really wants to do things for Cartagena it would be good if he sat down this afternoon to negotiate with the government, if only to avoid the possibility of training populist MC who becomes the arbiter of the economy of this municipality, "said Manuel Padin who believes that" it does not cost so much, it is simply to have municipal responsibility, and not be sectarian. "

The Cs spokesman says it would be really extravagant for the PP to do in Cartagena with the accounts exactly what the PSOE criticizes at the national level with the PGE, that is, submit an amendment to the whole, impose a multimillion-dollar list of amendments, but Refusing to negotiate with the local government, we would have gone from Pedro Sánchez's No es No, to Francisco Espejo's No Es No, and for the PGE as well as for the municipal budgets, the only ones affected are the citizens. "

The orange spokesman recalled that "the negotiation of a budget is not a contest to see which party presents the list of bulky and millionaire amendments, and who invests more in the districts and councils, I think we all know to a greater or lesser extent what are the needs of this municipality, it is about prioritizing the annual work, and making a financial project to execute in approximately seven months ".

In this sense, the orange spokesperson understands that "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 be viable, only that it can guarantee that an agreement is reached between two or more parties, and avoid false expectations and neighborhood frustration. "

"But of course," says Padín, "it takes good politicians and good intentions, not to waste the Executive for your electoral interests even if you do damage to Cartagena."

Some consequences of not having a budget

Manuel Padín has listed some of the participatory works this year that will be paralyzed if MC and PP decide to continue blocking the budget, "the restoration of the Chapel of the Council in the Cathedral of Cartagena, works in various parks of San Antonio Abad and New Cartagena, the refurbishment of the plaza of the Pablo VI church in Los Mateos, improvements in the playgrounds and plazas of Santa Lucía, the removal of the plaques of the Social Center of San José Obrero, the refurbishment of a park in Perín , the remodeling of the sports court or the plaza of the youth of El Albujón, the improvement works of the Pozo Estrecho sports center, the improvements in the Plaza Manuel de Falla, in the neighborhood of San Cristóbal, or Huerto de Cándido in La Palma , the cover of the Civic Center and the lighting of El Algar, among many many others ".

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 MC and PP refuse to negotiate the amendments with the Government, "the orange spokesman warned, warning," a refusal tomorrow in the ordinary plenary session empowers the PSOE to summon an issue trust that would lead almost certain automatic approval of their accounts, so if PP or MC do not reach an agreement would be facilitating the approval of PSOE accounts without a single amendment.

"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.
