- Citizens demand the refounding of the Pact Night Table, update the ordinance and programs with alternatives that are continuous and readjusted according to their achievements and failures
After knowing that the City of Cartagena does not have a special plan to prevent alcohol consumption by children during the holidays, and that everything will be reduced, in the words of Councilor for Security, Francisco Aznar, "to shop around if at all ", the councilman of Citizens, Ana Rama, has indicated that" Mr. Aznar does not have a special plan for these holidays, and neither does an ordinary one for the rest of the year, he has no plan for this phenomenon and (as he himself has admitted in front of the unions), is "in functions", waiting to be placed in a position of the Government Delegation and to leave without looking back, without resolving their pending issues, and not even take care of their inconsistent statements before the media of communication, nor respects the work of our police forces that do not go around, "laments indignant Rama.
The Orange councilor recalled that in April 2016, the Pact of the Night Table was set up with the hope of finding solutions to a problem of social significance such as the consumption of alcohol on public roads and by minors. " sessions, the last one in March of 2017, this Table turned out to be manifestly ineffective to eradicate this problem ", lamented the orange mayor who recalled that only a few days ago the Local Police denounced 12 minors for alcohol consumption on public roads in the Santa Ana Residential Estate. "An important society like the Cartagena has to be able to redirect youth leisure to healthier models that take it away from alcohol and bottles, at least try it with all their might;
something is failing and cries out for a determined municipal intervention ".
With regard to the Pact for the Night, the councilor of the orange formation thinks that it must return to meet, but with the commitment "to re-found itself to be really effective and productive, for example organizing concrete proposals for the eras of parties, so that they are treated and coordinated with the Local Safety Board "with new statutes and short and medium term objectives.
The only achievement of that table was - recalls Rama - INTEMSA program (Initiatives of Healthy Time) that was a complete fiasco, "without continuity, without follow-up, that program can not bear fruit, it requires monitoring it, readjusting its parameters to push with more decision to our youth towards healthy and positive leisure alternatives ".
In the opinion of Ana Rama, we have before us a complex problem that requires an intervention or a plan of shock at several levels, "when in the so-called botelleos we continue to find minors, family control is also failing, and from the City Council we can do many things to advise children and parents. "
"We must look at those municipalities that have managed to significantly reduce this phenomenon, with police actions, alternatives, and campaigns, and learn from their experience," said Rama, adding that "there are dozens of plans that have worked in other towns, the PSOE does not want to make its own, it only has to take them, adapt them and enrich them, and if you cite them, better, not like the Trade Plan that plagiarized Palencia. "
As for the municipal regulations, "we consider that in our municipal ordinance there is still a lot of room to update it, harden it, and revise it, a regulation that is already more than 14 years old and requires an adaptation to the dark times that are running, I also believe that with the necessary expansion of the staff of our Local Police can intensify control with specialized brigades ", has proposed the councilor of Cs who believes that the City" can not be satisfied with specific leisure programs and whose results are not evaluated to redirect it if it is necessary, or go around and allow the bottles while they do not bother because in the end we will have to regret a misfortune ".
