- Citizens demand a responsible position when it comes to alleged irregularities in the practice of the public function.
"In cases such as this alleged match of contracts with people related to the MC party, we can not stand aside or be benevolent, the public does not deserve that," says the orange spokesman.
- The spokesman of Cs Cartagena, Manuel Padín raises "what would demand Mr. José López, if a councilor of PSOE, PP or Cs was being investigated for an alleged case of corruption?
Citizens ask that MC stop measuring with double standards the cases of corruption, depending on whether they are their own or those of others, and that all political forces assume an uncompromising attitude towards the possible corruption that, once again, could spill over the Cartagena City Council.
According to information published today in La Verdad, the mayor of MC, Isabel García, must declare next July 17 as investigated by the alleged plot of fractioning and awarding dozens of minor contracts to avoid the negotiated procedure to three companies allegedly linked to the MC party.
"Now the interesting thing will be to see how MC acts and what code of ethics it follows to have one researched among its ranks," says Cartagena Citizen spokesman Manuel Padín.
"What would Mr. José López demand if the person investigated for a supposed corruption case were a PP, PSOE or Cs councilor?" Adds Manuel Padín.
Citizens defend an uncompromising position when talking about alleged irregularities in the practice of the public function.
"In cases such as this alleged match of contracts with people related to the MC party, we can not stand aside or be benevolent, the public does not deserve that," says the orange spokesman.
According to published information, the Cartagena Public Prosecutor's Office has taken the decision to call Isabel Garcia, former councilor of the Treasury, and MJG, head of the City Council's Procurement and Purchasing Office, after the Town Hall failed to deliver the documentation relating to the awarding of work contracts and services to companies that supposedly could have received some favorable treatment from PSOE and MC.
Cs Cartagena asks the mayor Ana Belén Castejón to collaborate decisively with the justice and that "for the sake of transparency and truth, as we previously asked, initiate an internal investigation", claims Manuel Padín.
With the return to the informative arena of this alleged case of fractioning smaller contracts, Citizens once again urges the Government to promote the creation of the Recruitment Observatory, and a system that allows monitoring of minor contracts that are carried out in a that it is possible to detect irregular practices, "such as those allegedly carried out by the City of Cartagena between 2015 and 2017, by cutting and awarding dozens of minor contracts to three companies allegedly linked to the MC party.
