- "Trying to confuse our proposal to fight the mafias and the drug dealers with a supposed indifference towards the need to help and offer a decent home to the families that need it is really creepy, even for a populist formation", said the spokesman of Citizens

- According to the orange spokesman, "this Government is on the right track but has not yet exploited all the possibilities it has at its disposal to strengthen its collaboration with entities and private owners of empty homes in Cartagena so that these are included in the social park with an affordable rent "

After the meeting today of one of the working groups integrated in the Local Housing Board, the spokesman for Citizens in Cartagena, Manuel Padín, said that "we still believe that there is much room to improve the municipal park of social housing for all those families that can not have a home because they can not afford to pay the prices of the current rental market. "

"In the city of Murcia have a municipal park of 1,004 homes while in Cartagena we are in 40, the difference in population does not explain this marked difference in supply when in Murcia there are about 1,000 plaintiffs waiting for this type of housing, and in Cartagena around 500, something we are not doing well, "said the local spokesman of Cs.

Manuel Padin believes that this Government, although it is on the right track, has not yet exploited all the possibilities it has to strengthen its collaboration with the entities and private owners of empty homes in Cartagena so that these are included in the social park with a affordable rent, in exchange, as we know, for incentives such as a substantial reduction in the IBI that owners have to pay each year or insurance for tenants as proposed, among other formulas. "Manuel Padín believes that" all large Cities in Spain face this problem and we must look at those who are doing things well, and put voluntary solutions on the table, without forcing or penalizing anyone and always within the real possibilities of the City Council. "

Plan against mafias and narcophones

The spokesman for Citizens has also referred to the phenomenon of violent occupation, the proliferation of narco-rings, and the existence of organized mafias that traffic with empty flats at the expense of the need of many families, "this type of housing occupation not only It affects the owners, as well as coexistence in certain neighborhoods, as they are happening in the surroundings of La Serreta. "

The orange spokesman has lamented that "some parties, like Podemos, deny that this phenomenon is taking place in Cartagena despite the evidence published in the newspapers, and politically using this delicate issue to seek electoral revenues."

"Trying to confuse our proposal to fight mafias and narco-ops with a supposed indifference to the need to help and offer decent housing to families who need it is really creepy, even for a populist-style training," said Manuel Padín .

According to the spokesperson for Citizens, "the objectives of the motion that we presented at the April plenary session and that did not go forward were and are clear: effectively protect the owners of the occupied apartments and the neighbors, and dismantle those mafias in Cartagena that are behind many of these occupations and the phenomena of narco-rings. "

"We still think that our proposal is necessary, and that is why we have invited Partido Popular and MC, which abstained in the plenary session, to modify the text and contribute what they think is necessary to change their sense of vote towards the favorable one; ready to present it jointly if they want it ", has informed Manuel Padín, who remembers that in the City council of Murcia, the same proposal went ahead after including the PP of there some considerations;

I do not know why what is worth for the PP of Murcia, is not valid for the Cartagena PP. "
