- The spokesman for Citizens in Cartagena, Manuel Padín, said today that "one of the most amazing things about the Draft Plan for the Promotion of Commerce in Cartagena, plus it is a copy of the Plan presented by the PP of Palencia in 2012, it is that it does not contain a single mention of the main claim of the innkeepers and merchants of Cartagena: the promotion of foreign promotion ".
- About MC: "Those who paralyzed the municipality, and did not inaugurate more than a stick stuck and abandoned in the mount of the Watchtower, have no moral authority to claim anything for the Cartagena trade"
Cartagena, Friday August 24-.
The Municipal Group of Citizens in Cartagena is still waiting for the PSOE Government to publicly apologize for the plagiarism committed in its Cartagena Trade Plan.
The orange formation, which denounced these events yesterday, has demanded the Socialist Executive to withdraw the proposals of the document presented two weeks ago, prepare a battery of real proposals and adapted to the singularities of Cartagena, and convene as soon as possible a new session of the Council Local Commerce to give the relevant explanations and debug responsibilities.
The spokesman for Citizens in Cartagena, Manuel Padín, said today that "one of the most amazing things about the Draft Plan for the Promotion of Commerce in Cartagena, besides being a copy of the Plan presented by the PP in Palencia in 2012, is which does not contain a single mention of the main claim of the innkeepers and merchants of Cartagena: the promotion of foreign promotion ".
Manuel Padín explained that in La Coruña, more than 85% of cruise passengers who come to that city enjoy their cuisine and make purchases in small shops, "it is clear that we need a joint strategy between all the actors, Cartagena Port of Cultures , commercial sector and hotel and Port Authority, however good the results for Cartagena of cruise tourism, if the city is not rewarded because the local government is not able to draw a plan that takes tourists and visitors to our shops, We are not doing anything".
For this reason, Ciudadanos will propose that the Port Authority be included in the Local Trade Council to design, together with the City Council and the sector's collectives, a commercial attraction strategy so that the thousands of cruise passengers who visit us each year do not go beyond Long for our business.
On the other hand, the spokesman of Citizens has said that "the investment in the promotion to attract our neighbors Murcia, Sewer, Molina de Segura, is a shame in Cartagena, you just have to review the daily press to realize: when it arrives the weekend the Cartagena is more informed of the cultural and leisure offer of the city of Murcia than the one of his municipality thanks to the insertions in press, radio and television of the neighboring City Hall ".
Another of the major shortcomings of the Plan of Palencia and Cartagena is the lack of a study of the problem of empty premises and the proposal of solutions for the activation of these commercial spaces that have been lost, "for this reason, we are going to include among our proposals, a plan of collaboration with the real estate sector, the creation of a census of empty premises to connect this information with entrepreneurs who want to open a business, and the development of a project to promote the generational change between freelancers and family businesses without alternation Something already agreed in the last ordinary plenary thanks to the work of Cs ".
Ciudadanos, which has been legitimately studying the trade plans of other cities such as Cáceres, Navarra or Bilbao, also considers it essential to carry out an analysis of the commercial spaces that allow distinguishing areas of high commercial density from those in need of a revitalization so that the City Council is in a position to territorially balance the commercial distribution in the municipality.
The orange training will also include training plans not only for traders but also for municipal technicians who must interact with them so that they have both the best possible knowledge regarding regulations, public-private agreements and financing, planning and promotion tools. .
Throughout the legislature, Cs has proposed innumerable measures to reactivate the Cartagena trade, among others, the proposal of the Week of Small Commerce, the preparation of the candidacy of Cartagena as the Spanish Capital of Gastronomy, the Shadow Plan in the public spaces, the Gisbert Market rehabilitation, and the creation of a digital meeting platform on the municipal website that serves not only to help and guide users who are visiting the municipality or will do so, but also to the merchants themselves and entrepreneurs with the census of empty premises and with various tips and aids for financing, promotion, and innovation.
Response to MC
On account of the elegant words that the councilor of MC, Isabel García, has once again dedicated to Manuel Padín, the orange spokesman has indicated that he is saddened to see "how a person who had my sympathy and my respect as councilor of the Treasury has degraded his speech when he has become spokesman of this populist and localist formation, "here the only thing that has been blank have been the years in which MC has governed Cartagena during which they were not able to undertake a single measure, nor for the shops of Cartagena and for nobody, "only sold headlines and blows of hollow and exclusive cartagenerism, the only work of MC open publicly was a stick that left nailed and abandoned in the mount of the Watchtower, that is the utility of who does not it has more weapons than hate and a harmful inferiority complex.
