Cartagena, Monday June 25-.

After the announcement made by the Ministry of Tourism and Culture that has initiated the procedures for the implementation of the Mediterranean cyclist route 'Eurovelo 8' as it passes through the Region, and that the layout of this will be interior, without stages on the coast or in the Mar Menor, the spokesman for Citizens in Cartagena, Manuel Padín today expressed his "profound indignation" at this decision, "the regional government is deliberately ignoring and disobeying the will of the Regional Assembly, and many municipalities of this community, among them, all of the Mar Menor, whose plenary session approved that this eminently coastal and Mediterranean route passes through their populations, it does not make any sense, you just have to look at the maps of the route to realize that the only stage not coastal will be ours. "

"We are not going to remain silent while the PP government commits a new discrimination and injustice with Cartagena and its region," says Padín, who notes that "we have long since lost patience with a government that takes every opportunity it has to slow down our development. "

Citizens was the party that proposed this initiative and for this managed to reserve half a million euros in regional budgets to promote Eurovelo, and it was also the orange formation that presented a motion to promote the project in Cartagena, San Pedro del Pinatar, Los Alcázares and San Javier, among others, "for which we are perfectly legitimized to control their execution and not to depart a millimeter from what we have foreseen".

The Municipal Group of Citizens in Cartagena will present a motion at the regular plenary session in July for the Plenary to support requesting the Community to rectify the route it is studying and incorporate Cartagena and the rest of the towns along the Mar Menor along the route Cyclo-tourist 'Eurovelo 8'.

In addition, the Municipal Group will also ask its Parliamentary Group to "look for ways to stop the plans of the Community".

The spokesman for Citizens in Cartagena, Manuel Padín, has assured that Cartagena "should not allow to lose this unique opportunity to generate income through the green economy and attracting investments from European and regional funds."

"In addition, the cyclist is a consumer who spends more, who stops many times on his route and visits small establishments, our regional government has to understand that cycling is a key element to improve economic muscle, generate employment and cope to the tourist and economic seasonality suffered by the coastal areas abused during years of indifference and political neglect, "said the spokesman for Cs Cartagena.

On the other hand, the orange training spokesman recalled that the riverside towns of the Mar Menor are suffering for years a difficult tourist and economic situation, marked by the negative image generated by the environmental crisis suffered by the Mar Menor so it does not we can remain impassive before an opportunity to capture the European tourism in bicycle ", has explained Manuel Padín.
