- With regard to the traffic jams that occur after 2:00 pm in Cartagena, the councilor for Security excused himself saying that it is "something common" in all the big cities, he said it in spite of the fact that local communication have gone to police sources that ensure that these traffic jams are due, to a large extent, to a lack of coordination in the shift changes agents that has not been resolved by the councilor responsible

"The Government of Cartagena demonstrated at the last ordinary plenary session that not only has it not yet started the Road Safety Plan for the municipality, as required by a plenary agreement of September 2017, but also does not intend to execute it in the future, "said Orange spokesman Manuel Padin, who has made reference to the response given by the Councilor for Security and Interior, Francisco Aznar, in the last plenary session on this issue.

Citizens managed on September 28, 2017 to move forward unanimously a motion that obliged the Government of Cartagena to design a road safety plan and visibility of the pedestrian crossings of the municipality.

However, to questions of Cs, the socialist councilor, Francisco Aznar, did not know how to resolve the lack of visibility of pedestrian crossings, nor gave deadlines, nor advanced the investment he plans to dedicate to this work, despite which, he said, had already identified low visibility pedestrian crossings, "that makes us think that they have no intention, not only to comply with our proposals to create a prioritized plan of needs, but to eliminate these dangerous points. in our streets ", lamented Manuel Padín.

With regard to the deadlines for its execution, the Government excuses itself in the absence of a final approval of the municipal accounts, although it has not reserved any specific item in the approved budget text on a provisional basis.

"Aznar only made a brief reference to a mobility project in the Historic District that has little or nothing to do with the plan that the local government should do," says the orange spokesman.

With regard to the traffic jams that occur after 2:00 pm in Cartagena, Aznar excused himself saying that it is common in all the big cities, he said despite the fact that the local media have turned to sources police that ensure that these traffic jams are due, to a large extent, to a lack of coordination in the shift changes of the agents that has not been resolved by the responsible councilor.

"This way of throwing balls out, not recognize anything, and get out on the tangent reaffirms us that our vote in the motion that has called for his resignation was correct," says Padin who recalls that "to finish the job, Francisco Aznar admitted that his plan to place pedestrian crossings in three dimensions can not be done because Cartagena's circulation regulations do not allow them to be installed, the worst thing of all is to think that he did not show at any moment to be able to recognize anything and therefore to put the means to correct the course, who does not assume their mistakes, will not amend them. "

Dangerous yellow cylinders

Citizens denounced in the last Plenary the situation of the elements of separation and security not approved that are located along a hundred meters of the median of the street Sebastián Feringán at the height of the Hospital Perpetuo Socorro.

According to the mayor of the orange formation, Ana Rama, "these long yellow cylinders are sunken, cracked, rusted, and some have been bent at the ends towards the lane in a very dangerous way, if the intention has been to prevent the temptation of make a change of direction and do not fulfill that function ", explained the mayor of orange training that proposes" that is undertaken when before the replacement of these elements by a more appropriate, functional and healthy, such as the placement of trees , or in its absence another type of approved device that fulfills its function, is not dangerous and is inserted well in the space from the aesthetic point of view ".

"This section is municipal responsibility, and we can not longer allow something that is an obvious danger to road traffic to be maintained, especially for two-wheelers in the event of an accident," says Rama.

The mayor of Cartagena, Ana Belén Castejón, said she took "very good note" of Cs' ​​complaint.
