- The orange formation demanded exactly one year ago that the local government created an extraordinary and additional program, complementary to the actions already carried out by the City of Cartagena, to minimize the presence of these insects and end the inconvenience of the neighbors
- "Preventive actions such as avoiding floodlights in ditches and ditches, sewage outlets, should have been carried out since April", explains Manuel Padín
The Municipal Group of Citizens of Cartagena recalled today exactly one year ago demanded the City of Cartagena effective solutions to end the plagues of mosquitoes that were affecting at that time to the neighbors in the center of the city and in some neighborhoods and that often appear during these months, "but we already know the lack of foresight that this Government has for this and many other issues," said the orange training spokesman, Manuel Padin, who has echoed the information published today in the La Verdad newspaper, which reports the fear of the residents of La Azohía, Mar de Cristal and Barrio de la Concepción, to the proliferation of these plagues due to the lack of a preventive municipal plan.
The orange training proposed in June 2017 the creation of an extraordinary and additional program, complementary to the actions already carried out by the City of Cartagena, to minimize the presence of these insects and end the inconvenience of neighbors, and also suggested preventive actions in the month of April to avoid the spotlights in scuppers and ditches, or sewage outlets.
For the spokesman of Citizens, it is necessary to review the protocol of action to control the appearance of mosquito pests in the city, "because it is evident that it is not working and that every year is worse, the City Council has to take seriously this subject that prevents the enjoyment of the neighbors of the center, of the Ensanche, the District of the Conception, Garden City, the Vaguada, Plana Island, the Grandchildren, Crystal Sea, among others and that also affects the businesses that want to take advantage of their terraces. "
"This revision must also be agreed with other organizations such as the Segura Hydrographic Confederation, and the regional government because some of the centers are located in areas of their competence, such as the storm tank on the Rambla de Benipila," said Manuel Padín.
The spokesman for Citizens recriminates that the Government of Cartagena "once again demonstrates its lack of foresight in Cartagena."
"Our authorities are more vigilant in preserving their armchairs and in distracting themselves with their partisan wars that forget the daily problems of the residents of Cartagena and this problem does not arise overnight, the neighbors have been asking for solutions for years. Nobody bothers to listen to them, "laments Manuel Padín.
