- "More than three years after the legislature began, it is announced that after the summer work will begin on the draft of a trade plan that only contains 10 proposals that we could have written in thirty minutes, this tease has no name, is a huge and ridiculous nonsense, an insult to the intelligence of all Cartagena and an offense to our merchants, "says the spokesman for Citizens in Cartagena, Manuel Padín

Cartagena, Thursday, August 16 -.

After 18 months of waiting today has convened a new meeting of the Municipal Council of Commerce which has been attended by the spokesman for Citizens in Cartagena, Manuel Padin, who has criticized the local PSOE Government for his absolute indifference to a forum that has only held a session, the constitutive one, in February of 2017, "moment in which the mayor of Cartagena assured that it was a day to celebrate, that other city councils wanted to imitate us or that it had achieved that the City Council of Cartagena was a reference in this matter; sincerely that we are not the reference of anybody, I do not wish this passivity and political incompetence to any municipality of Spain ".

For Manuel Padín, "not only is called late, it is done badly, in mid-August, without the possibility of planning actions to reactivate the trade during this summer, no wonder that nobody has attended this call, its members have been able to interpret that it was not going to be operative but only a forced exhibition to calm the spirits and save appearances. "

The great announcement that today has given the PSOE, is that in mid-September a working table will be created to work on a draft of the Small Business Promotion Plan of Cartagena, "that is, more than three years after the start of the Legislature, will now be when you start working on the draft of a plan that only contains 10 proposals that we could have written in thirty minutes of work, this joke has no name, is a huge and ridiculous nonsense, an insult to intelligence of all the Cartagena and an offense to our merchants. "

On the 120,000 euros reserved in the budget for the Trade Plan, the orange spokesman has reported that "indeed, it seems that the idea that the PSOE had was to divert that money in subsidies, that is at least what appears in the Actions section Dinamización 2018: "has been prepared for the first time a draft for the own subsidies of the Department of Commerce, which have been budgeted with 120,000 euros." Despite this paragraph, "that surely forgot to delete, the mayor has given a step back and explained that the use that is given to that amount along with other items, will be discussed at the next working table.

"Since 2015, PSOE and MC have been creating empty councils, commissions, plans and projects, without content, a political-cosmetic tactic, superficial and useless to silence criticism, disguise the lack of investment, and hide the fact that these two parties had no idea what to do with Cartagena during this term, this Commerce Council was born without vocation of continuity and today's session only responds to the pressure of the media for bad data in the hospitality and commerce sector of the center this summer, "said Manuel Padín.

The Orange formation believes especially embarrassing that the PSOE, far from admitting its responsibility or reacting, ningunee the evaluation work and the denunciations of collectives such as HOSTECAR or Agrupación de Hoteles y Alojamientos Turísticos de Cartagena, and dispatch the issue ensuring that the PSOE 'manages other data', "in the country of socialist wonders, trade is not stagnant, there is only happiness and revelry for good economic data in the hotel and tourism sector," said Manuel Padin.

Citizens regret the lost time, "everything that appears in that draft today has been proposed by our group or others, since 2015 and neither PSOE nor MC have bothered to make it possible, the Trade Plan, the Tourism Plan, the creation of the Week of the Small Commerce, the improvement of the urban space in the commercial streets, the bet by the promotion, the formation and the professional advising, the creation of activities, the promotion of the TIC applied to the commerce, the creation of a own brand for our retail, modifications in the ordinances, the discount card, all this and much more, not to mention the shadow plan, is being raised for many years, but the fight MC-PSOE-Podemos has consumed everything. "

The orange formation has also recalled how the coalition PSOE-MC ruined the chance that Cartagena was the Spanish Capital of Gastronomy, "the Council that had to work the candidacy was called off by the war between socialists and localists".

Ciudadanos also regrets that the project for the rehabilitation of Mercado Gisbert, at the proposal of Cs, has been put to tender without going through the Commerce Council, as proposed.

"The wound that MC and PSOE have done to Cartagena, with wonderful idyll of 2015, has not stopped bleeding", concludes Padín.
