Castejón is shown, once again, unable to get some accounts forward after the rejection of the groups to the numbers of Casco Antiguo corresponding to 2017

This morning, a meeting of the General Shareholders' Meeting of Casco Antiguo was held in the Town Hall.

During the course of the same, the spokesman of the municipal group MC Cartagena, José López, has urged the mayor, Ana Belén Castejón, what defines the position of the PSOE on the future of this municipal society, adding that "since the month of March, the PSOE does not call the Council of Casco Antiguo, and acts in a minority and hidden.

López stressed that "Casco's situation is now viable", because "with the surplus of 2017 almost half of Casco's debt has been paid and the rest of the loans of the company are assumed by the City as their own".

Therefore, has indicated that the PSOE must decide if this serves them "well to liquidate society, or to put it in place, but we do not know what the PSOE wants to do, or perhaps it is that the PSOE does not know what it wants, something to what we are used to. "

MC spokesman, who presided over Casco Antiguo during his mayoralty in the first part of the legislature, recalled that under the management of Antonio Garcia, "Casco Antiguo society has been working and giving good numbers for the City Council, but as it is a leftist but cartagenerista, had to liquidate it ", has summarized on the departure of Garcia from the direction of the company.

It should be remembered that, during the management of Antonio García, who was proposed by MC, the company's debt, which amounted to 17,450,000 euros in September 2015, was set at December 31, 2017 at 10,200,000 euros, reducing debt in banks in more than 7,250,000 euros and paying interest for a figure of around 650,000 euros.

In addition, the debt was refinanced, the average interest rate of the debt was lowered from 5% to 1.25%, in addition to the updating of the payments in relation to the review of court cases for expropriations for an amount close to the million euros.

Likewise, it has been known in recent dates that, due to the surplus generated by the management of MC in the municipal accounts of 2017, another 4.7 million euros have been amortized.

The management balance of Casco Antiguo, under the mayor's office of MC and the management of Antonio García, speaks of a society that no longer generated losses, without needing to resort to the rescue with municipal funds and, this, despite the obstacles that the socialists from within and the popular from the outside put this management on a constant basis.

Casco Antiguo became a useful tool and led a social urbanism in the whole municipality in front of what was previously a deficit company and investigated by a possible VAT fraud for the management of the PP or an illegal contract signed with its manager.

In the same way, a new direction was impelled in this municipal society marked by different actions marked by sustainability and social responsibility in different neighborhoods of the municipality, urban regeneration and integration.

MC abstains in the vote for the approval of the 2017 accounts

MC has abstained in the vote for the approval of the accounts corresponding to 2017, explaining the cartagenerista leader that "in the budget of Casco Antiguo for the year 2017, revenues from the City Council are contemplated, as well as the return of the amounts that Casco He had spent on acquiring land for the City Council, that is, for public use, this is done with favorable reports from all the municipal services. "

Finally, the Casco Antiguo accounts have not been approved.

Lopez has announced that "it happens that, when they have to execute these budget items, contradictory reports appear of one of the services that previously said otherwise, coinciding with the interests of the PSOE or Ana Belén Castejón and, as a result of this, Casco Antiguo does not receive the expected income and starts to give losses ".

Faced with this circumstance, José López concluded by saying that "the members of the Board have patrimonial responsibility in this company", which is why MC Cartagena will not support "actions based on contradictory reports".
