"We think you have to be politically very hypocritical to self-proclaimed championing the protection and defense of children and adolescents of the municipality as they did in December 2017 when you have been systematically blocking and not fulfilling the execution of plenary agreements that directly affect this sector of the population, "said the spokesman for Citizens in Cartagena, Manuel Padín.

For Citizens respect for children is demonstrated by facts and investments and unfortunately, MC and PSOE have shown nothing but indifference and inaction since 2015. "We think that we have to be politically very hypocritical to proclaim ourselves champion of the protection and defense of childhood and the adolescence of the municipality as they did in December of 2017 when you have been systematically blocking and not fulfilling the execution of plenary agreements that directly affect this sector of the population, "said today the spokesman for Citizens in Cartagena, Manuel Padín, after attending the Finance and Interior Commission where the proposal of the mayor of Cartagena, Ana Belén Castejón, has been discussed in relation to the approval of the Municipal Council for Children and Adolescents.

"We arrived very late at this Council, but we celebrated its imminent arrival;

I hope that through it we can reactivate all those initiatives that we have presented for children and adolescents in Cartagena and that PSOE and MC have ignored, "says the local spokesman for Cs.

Manuel Padín has reported that the point for the approval of the regulation has had to be withdrawn from the Finance Committee, "because now it is not clear, either by the opposition groups, or by the Government, how it has been constituted the Children's Council;

another municipal nonsense for which we can not find an explanation, because in the own website of Child Friendly Cities there is a downloadable document with a guide for the constitution of these councils, clearly explanatory, with the steps to follow ".

The only proposal of Cs related to Cartagena's infants that PSOE-MC has fulfilled has been the annual celebration of a Children's Plenary, "we presented it in November of 2016, and had its first session a year later;

and we hope that it will be held again next November, "said the spokesperson for Cs.

Manuel Padín has reviewed some of the initiatives that his Group has promoted in the City Council and that are still paralyzed, "we managed to promote a working table against bullying that was ratified by the School Board in May, but since then we have not has convened no session;

in September 2017 we obtained the unanimous support of the Plenary to force the PSOE Government to review all the playgrounds of the municipality to analyze whether they complied with European regulations and to create a municipal ordinance to regulate their creation, maintenance and use, but they have not done nothing".

In addition, the orange training required, also in 2017, a shadow plan for the playgrounds of municipal educational centers and for public spaces frequented by children, and the implementation of the program 'Open Patios' to enable sports and recreational areas for children and adolescents , "Nothing is known about this," laments Manuel Padín.

For Cs, the breach of the plenary agreement of September 2016 to provide school nursery schools in Cartagena is especially serious, "PSOE and MC did not want to make it possible in the 2017 budgets, and neither did the Socialist Executive in 2018 ", has complained Manuel Padín who recalled that in Murcia the same initiative was presented" there the youngest students, those who have from 0 to 3 years, can already benefit in public nurseries from the presence of these health professionals, which would mean, among other things, an improvement for families with chronic children, would avoid long-term problems and improve daily control. "

Nor has the PSOE wanted to make a reality the petition that Cs made last year to launch a series of measures to promote and promote among minors responsible use of the Internet and combat cyberbullying, as well as increase orientation and counseling workshops for parents and teachers, "the objective of this initiative was for both parents and children to be more aware of the danger posed by the Internet and social networks, and to offer them the necessary tools and mechanisms to make responsible and respectful use of them".

"Not to mention the innumerable requests, questions and motions that the orange formation has defended in plenary session related to the problems of air conditioning, space, infrastructure and security linked to the educational centers of the municipality", concluded Manuel Padín, who hopes that " as of 2019, the new corporation has more respect for young people, and is able to dignify childhood and adolescence in Cartagena with facts and investments;

this is the only way we will be worthy of obtaining the recognition of the Friend City of Children that UNICEF offers ".
