Since December 2012, the gardens of the municipality have been suffering from an important lack of maintenance, due to the expiration of the contract since, since then, it has been impossible to award a new contract, complete and adequate to the current needs of Cartagena.
When MC assumed the responsibilities of the Government, it found a tender promoted by the PP that presented legal and material deficiencies, which forced, according to the technical reports, to elaborate a new sheet with transparent and objective criteria, and to adapt everything the municipal term.
In this context, the spokesman of the MC Cartagena municipal group, José López, said that "for two years, the company that provides the service of maintenance of gardens, FCC, has delayed, with the collaboration of the PP, this tender raising all kinds of resources counting, in addition, with the complicit silence of the PSOE, with this, he has managed to continue charging from the municipal coffers more than six years after not having a contract, while the green areas and the urban trees dry up. "
López continued explaining that "now, we are facing the cry of Caostejón, which no longer dissimulates and, in a desperate attempt, asks for a report of the report so as not to award the contract to the best offer. months more, when the result or intention is not others ".
The mayor of MC recalled the commitment of this training for the environment.
"The replenishment and care of urban trees, the reforestation of our environment, the construction of a municipal nursery or maintenance contracts in the coastal area are some of the actions that we implemented and that have braked in the dry, both Torralba and Castejón" .
José López has announced that the Cartagena training studies to present initiatives to Plenary or other actions, in order to "ensure that this line of work is continued and, as always, for legality." We smell like pucherazo, and we must have a lot daring to renounce millions of plants in a municipality as needed as ours to please a company, but the PPSOE no longer surprises any maneuver against Cartagena. "
Opacity in hiring and proposal for remunicipalisation of the service
The Cartagena spokesman has drawn attention to that "we must not forget that PSOE and PP prevented, with their vote in February, that FCC be investigated." Also, Castejón refuses to give accounts of employees hired in the municipal cleaning service and collected since 2015, before the suspicion that their training, like the PP, has placed like-minded people. "
The councilor of MC has linked these contracts of large parties, as recognized by the PP councilor in Murcia, Roque Ortiz, and has not denied the local PSOE, with the refusal to remunicipalize the service because, as he said, "it is clear that they do not care about the quality or the price of the service, and that is why they have not advanced in the municipal management for the maintenance of gardens that we propose from the Government ".
"The recipe is simple, empower the brigades, create a gardener employment pool to expand human resources and allocate resources that are generated, such as low contracts, to improve the state of green areas and regain control On public services, in a couple of years, we would have a public service directly managed to satisfy the general interest, "concluded José López.
