After the announcement made yesterday by the Socialist City Hall about the imminence in the convening of the Local Trade Bureau (still undated), the deputy speaker of the MC Cartagena municipal group, Isabel García, has announced that she will request in that forum "to clarify the contradictory information that has appeared in some media about the Trade Promotion Plan, which our municipal Group included as an amendment in the 2018 Budgets ".

Then, the mayor has shown concern that "the plan does not become another pose of the Government of Ana Belén Castejón and a new display of misgovernment.In this work have their spontaneous ally, Mr. Padín and his group, which seem to walk short of memory when selling as an achievement the inclusion of the Trade Plan as a line of the Employment Plan ".

Garcia has lamented "the use of the Commerce Council as another tool to give continuity to the posture of the government of Ana Belén Castejón, an efficient body in other municipalities but useless in it, because if something can boast the local PSOE is to stop everything what he touches. "

Few meetings and no activity

To argue the ineffectiveness of this work forum, the councilor of MC recalled the complaints of traders who complain that "the Council has only met a couple of times since its constitution." Castejón mode, lacking content and substance but with smiles and promises that are unfulfilled at the moment of pronouncing ".

He continued by noting that, according to information gathered from the merchants, "in March 2017, the elaboration of a Small Business Promotion Plan, the Week of Commerce, the remodeling of the Gisbert Market, were put on the table. to term from the Department of Castejón ".

An inaction accompanied by disrespect, as the members of the Commerce Council had to suffer, who spend their time on this task, subtracting it from their work and business obligations, and who on September 8, 2017 had to wait, foot of the Consistorial Palace staircase, about an hour to the mayor to start the meeting.

Fed up with waiting, and without anyone notifying them or justifying the delay, they decided to leave.

"Today, the members of the Council have not received any explanation for the sit-in. I can tell you what happened that day." Mrs. Castejón, surrounded by her obedient councilmen, was shaping José López's betrayal ", he commented. the deputy spokesman from Cartagena.

Once the change of Councils was completed, the Commerce Council resumed its activity with a meeting of the Labor Commission for Commercial Revitalization on June 25, 2018, in order to seek the viability of the Plan to boost local commerce;

subsidies to the Chamber of Commerce;

the Comprehensive Assistance Plan to the Old Town;

as well as the start-up of the 'Week of Commerce', and the elaboration of the 'Small Business Promotion Plan 2018/2020', a project that "was supposed to be agreed with all groups to have a tool effective above politics ".

Veto to the Small Business Support Plan

In this context, the response of the PSOE, "after asking the associations to contribute their grain of sand to mark the basic guidelines of the same, was a new change of direction and lack of respect for the work of the members of the Council. through its executive councilor, the project is charged by postponing it to give priority to subsidies for the associations ".

"What is the same, bread for today and hunger for tomorrow, plugging huge holes with your hands, and a distribution of improvised money to dispose of happy wills".

Subsequently, the council has wondered about the reasons that lead the PSOE to promote "this distribution of money, despite already being included in the annual budget a consigned item." Last year we implemented various actions of entrepreneurial dynamism. Are you working to duplicate aid? Have you read your own budget? The answer is clear: Hand over money leaves immediate revenue at the polls, planning with rigor and with a temporary vocation is political responsibility, a concept that goes far in the Government of Castejón ".

Isabel García, who holds the Management and Marketing diploma for Urban Centers, concluded by noting that "obviously we will not consent to it." During the last plenary session, we presented an initiative so that part of the money included in our amendment could be used to rehabilitate the Calle San Fernando If the Government does not progress in this direction, we will continue to seek the support of the rest of the Corporation to move it forward, since we do have a Plan for Trade in Cartagena, with a vision of the future and that helps growth long term".

"Unfortunately for Cartagena Castejón's planning is limited to nine months, the time left to jump into the labor market, for the first time, with 40 years."
