- "We understand that residents of the San Ginés neighborhood feel cheated by the previous coalition of MC and PSOE, announced major projects at the beginning of the legislature, spend the months, years, and fall into the most absolute oblivion", regrets the spokesman for Citizens in Cartagena, Manuel Padín

The Municipal Citizens Group in Cartagena this week has registered a battery of questions with the aim of clarifying why the Government of Cartagena has not yet fulfilled its promise of 2015 to convert the Antonio Arévalo school into a sociocultural center for the use and enjoyment of crowd of groups that are claiming municipal spaces to perform various activities.

According to the spokesperson of Citizens in Cartagena, Manuel Padín, "since all these good intentions were announced in 2015 and the assignment was requested in 2016, we have not heard anything again, nor have we known that a euro has been invested, nor by the Community or by the City Council. "

"In our premises of the Town Hall, we receive every week a multitude of groups, associations and entities that remind us of this failed project, and ask us when it will be possible, the last to do so was TP Cartagena MM", said Manuel Padín.

"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. "

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.

"There is much to clarify, we do not even know if the plenary agreement to add socio-health entities and the extension of the assignment was executed and accepted by the Community, we also want to evaluate what is the amount that must be invested to prepare the facilities , if there is a specific project, and what administration should put the money, "said the orange spokesman in Cartagena that clarifies that" this is the first step, clear 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."

The ridicule of the PP, second part

On the other hand, the orange spokesman regrets that the popular councilman Antonio Calderón pull argumentation and obediently defend the folly of his Municipal Group and ask us for explanations for rejecting its amendment to the budgets of 2018 to increase by 200,000 euros subsidies to social entities "We could ask Mr. Calderón, who has all my respect, to explain why his party in Congress has rejected the socialist amendments for the arrival of AVE to Cartagena, for our Cathedral, or for the Mar Menor; I answer for him, because they are not calculated or negotiated with the party that governs, and if there is no negotiation and numbers, those amendments are just a toast to the sun, pure posture to get press notes, and that goes for the No Is No of Pedro Sánchez and also for the No Es No of Francisco Espejo ".

"We could also ask Mr. Calderón to explain why he has validated and voted for the municipal budget without this amendment for subsidies," adds Manuel Padín, who believes that "talking about social sensitivity when you allow your party's pride to prevent inclusion of a social amendment in the local budget is a contradiction. "

"To whom Mr. Calderón has to ask for explanations of why social entities can not enjoy an increase of 200,000 euros, is his own spokesperson."

"If the Popular Party had really wanted to include this increase in subsidies, along with other amendments, would have wanted to reach a budget agreement with the PSOE, I know that the Socialists were willing to accept 95 percent of what the PP that would have succeeded not only in bringing forward almost all of its amendments, but also reaching an intermediate point between the recovery of the Imsel and the reinforcement to attend our riparian zones and prevent the inclusion of the unviable and electoralist amendments of MC that will delay the execution of the accounts, but they were not for the work, they preferred to make a frightful ridiculous refusing to negotiate, without moving forward their amendments approving those of others (viable or not), and approving the accounts in exchange for nothing, a masterful move ", ironizes Padín.
