- "The discomfort of the hoteliers and merchants of Cartagena for the lack of promotion and activities by PSOE and MC in its two long years of government is irrefutable proof of the damage that has done to this municipality a political coalition without a plan of government ", has informed the spokesman of Citizens in Cartagena, Manuel Padín.

Citizens have repeatedly proposed activities to boost the city's trade during the months of August and coastal areas in winter.

However, the local government, first in coalition with MC and now the PSOE in absolute minority, has shown a total lack of respect for orange training proposals approved in the municipal plenary session.

"The discomfort of the hoteliers and merchants of Cartagena for the lack of promotion and activities by PSOE and MC in their two long years of government is irrefutable proof of the damage that has done to this municipality a political coalition without government plan ", has informed the spokesman of Citizens in Cartagena, Manuel Padín on the information collected today by the newspaper La Verdad.

One of the main achievements of Ciudadanos was to rescue after 31 years inactive, the Advisory Council of Tourism of Cartagena.

The motion to reactivate it was presented in the ordinary plenary session of March 2017 and approved unanimously.

"We had high hopes for this Advisory Council, but the PSOE Government has not filled it with content," lamented Manuel Padín, who believes that "here, and in the Local Trade Council, is where a plan should have been planned. of high impact promotion and an offer of activities linked to congresses, conferences, and of course to leisure in all its sports, nautical, musical, gastronomic variants to fill the city with life during the months of August, but no, the PSOE convenes the Commerce Council for mid-August when everything is already lost, and the Tourism Council is not convened since November 2017 where, by the way, in the agenda appeared the need to make a strategic plan, which nothing else was known " .

"Nor has the ordinance been put forth to allow concerts in the center's premises," adds Manuel Padín.

Orange proposals ignored

The orange training proposed in December 2016, a plan for the integral improvement of the Torres Park in which we included the need to carry out actions to extract all its potential with cultural, sports and ecological activities throughout the year.

In the month of July 2017, Ciudadanos promoted an initiative for Cartagena to opt for the award of the Spanish Capital of Gastronomy;

a candidacy that should have worked in the Local Council of Commerce in mid-2017 but the disagreements between MC and PSOE made it impossible, "and because of that bad policy we lost a great opportunity that would have meant for Cartagena a promotion and realization of activities to throughout the year. "

Manuel Padín has also agreed on the Shadow Plan, approved in the plenary session of May 2017, it would have helped a lot to make our streets more friendly and fight against the heat wave and therefore to promote the entry of customers in bars and shops , "but PSOE and MC when they were ungoverned were not for the work either".

In addition, Cs proposed in March 2017, the Week of Small Commerce and the organization of two prizes linked to traditional shops.

For the spokesperson for Citizens, "Cartagena is a municipal term with a marked tourist and commercial vocation, and therefore requires a tourist plan and a designed trade plan, and it pains us to say so, by experts and professionals from the sector who short, medium and long term establish the priorities, the deadlines and what exactly will be the actions with budget allocation that are going to be undertaken in this area ".

"The legislature is over and neither PSOE nor MC have shown to have a defined project nor a marked line of action, only lived the inertia and income that the attractiveness of our land offers, but the decisions of the PSOE coalition -MC and now the PSOE alone have been short-sighted, improvised, and nothing effective.

"The PP should be reminded that the alleged work of the regional government for the promotion of Cartagena has not served for this summer hoteliers and merchants stop regretting their income data," says Manuel Padin who believes that "the failure in these matters by part of PSOE and MC is an incontestable reality, but the regional government should reexamine their aid because it is not having an effect either ".
