"I think something unheard and disturbing that the 112 Region of Murcia call after the incident to Repsol and no one takes the phone, there is much to improve in the protocols of action before a case like this," said orange spokesman, Manuel Padín
After the Permanent Commission of Work Specialized in Environmental Pollution in the Valley of Escombreras, also known as "Commission of Air Quality", the spokesman for Citizens in Cartagena, Manuel Padín, lamented the absence of representatives of the company Repsol, "today It was a wonderful opportunity to clarify directly with them the doubts that we have the public representatives of Cartagena and have missed, "said Manuel Padin, who believes that" either we all work together or it will be very difficult to meet the objectives we have set; We do not know if they have been called or not by the City Council, but in any case, we are clear that they must be present at the next session.
