This morning, the councilman of the MC Cartagena municipal group, Francisco Calderón, after the conclusion of the session of the Air Quality Bureau, convened by the mayor of Cartagena after months paralyzed by the Socialist City Hall, has censored the decision of the first mayor of "to politicize the functioning of this transversal work group, at the expense of the efficiency demonstrated during the months of activity, with important achievements such as the installation of a Bisphenol A measuring plant in La Aljorra, today my socialist councilor has taken it to implement its modus operandi, opacity and work against the neighbors. "
With this, has valued the decision of the Socialist to replace him in the presidency of the Air Quality Board by a councilor of Government, "without any objective fact to hold on to beyond the claiming attitude of my group, demanding transparency and information after the events that took place at the Escombreras Valley refinery on June 12 ".
He recalled Castejón's desire to "not share information with me, despite holding the Presidency of the Board during those days."
An obstructionist attitude "shared with the company, as it has been reflected this morning." We did not get information from the City Council or the regional administration, nor from the company itself, in an alliance against transparency and, especially, against the neighbors and that PP and Padín endorse this matter. "
After these events, the arbitrary decision of the Mayor's office to dismiss Calderón as president of the Mesa has arrived, a fact that "does not affect our proposals at all." MC will continue to work and lead environmental policies in the municipality. and we continue to do so from the opposition, as reflected in our amendments and plenary proposals. "
Finally, the mayor has reiterated his will to demand "greater involvement of the regional administration, more specifically through the Ministry of Health." If something has been demonstrated after what happened in the Valley of Escombreras is that the neighbors expect a coordinated, supportive and transversal work among administrations, and in this sense, greater collaboration and thrust of the Ministry of Health is essential, the institution that must assume more competencies in this type of situation ".
