Road Safety Plan pending since September 2017
According to the council, "one of our priorities as a Municipal Group is that, before the end of the legislature, the local government fulfills the plenary mandate of September 2017 to design a prioritized road safety plan in the municipality."
For Ana Rama, "for decades, this Administration only acts at the stroke of improvisation, when they receive a neighborhood complaint, when the local press takes their colors, or when the pressure of opposition parties becomes unsustainable, but what we want to address this issue, like so many others, with a strategy arising from the analysis that includes short, medium and long-term objectives ".
This study of the needs of Cartagena in terms of road safety, "is already in some way developed thanks to the work of groups linked to the subject as MoviliCT or Vía Libre Cartagena, if the City Council has not wanted in nine months to make this plan is not because he can not, or because he does not have time, but because he simply does not have the will to do it, something that we will remember every day from Citizens until they assume their responsibility ".
