Yesterday, the councilors of municipal group MC Cartagena, Isabel García and María José Soler, attended the meeting of the Commission for Monitoring Participatory Budgeting in which the Government gave the opposition its proposal for the Participatory Budgets for 2019.
A proposal that the representatives of the Cartagena training received at the same time, issue that has denounced the deputy spokesman of MC, Isabel Garcia, because "if they had the intention to encourage participation, we should have sent along with the call for We had time to analyze it, a day later we have already formed our own opinion, it is appreciated that they have done it as always, fast and running, they have realized that September is over and they have nothing, so they have covered the file, they did with the Plan to Promote Trade, although in this case they opted directly for plagiarism. "
Immediately afterwards, García regretted that "they will call us again tomorrow for another meeting so that we can make our contributions." They intend to start the dissemination and information campaign next Tuesday, as always, their inability and lack of work, running over the procedures and deadlines.
Chubby after botched by the mayor and the 'hands' of Alumbres
In this context, he affirmed that "I hope they do not have the collaboration of MC to do this fudge or to continue deceiving the neighbors, for that they already have Mr. Padín, who has not yet understood the meaning of the Participatory Budgets. We have been warning since March, to guarantee an efficient and participatory process, we must plan a previous work and involve the neighbors, but once again, it has been demonstrated that the PSOE does not believe in participation or in the culture of the effort ".
The Cartagena leader has continued stating that "our group has always opted for Participatory Budgets, not in vain we started them as a pilot experience for 2017, despite the vote against the councilors of the PSOE."
"We are clear that it is a tool for the promotion of citizen participation through learning, we must learn to participate, but the Participants do not substitute nor are they the solution to all the problems of the municipality. a government that works for the good of its neighbors and not to secure the salary of its 'leader' and one of its related councilors. "
Respect to the procedure
Later, the councilor recalled that "the first thing that Mr. Torralba has to do is bring to the Governing Board a self-regulation or manual in which the process of the Participatory Budgets for 2019 is detailed, including also the procedure to follow with the educational centers and how they will be selected. "
Now they remember, once the process is finished, that it had to be approved, and that the failures and deficiencies of the previous edition must be analyzed and solved, so it is very important to define well and clarify the phases, delving into the prioritization and opening a period of claims to technical assessments.It is essential that all discarded proposals be published so that any citizen can know the cause of the exclusion and claim if it deems appropriate.
Bet on the projects that neighbors need
Going deeper into concrete measures, he pointed out that "it is also important not to limit the maximum amount per project, beyond the limit assigned to each district." Let's bet on the quality of the projects, not the quantity, since it has already been demonstrated that the microprojects Socialists do not solve the needs of the neighbors, but they try to guarantee their vote collection, and in most cases, in order to carry out the projects of the neighbors, the Neighborhood Councils have had to compromise their budget. "
"The current executive wants to burden the Cartagena government decision weight, forcing them to claim small arrangements that should be carried out as maintenance, but having no municipal project want to reach the neighbors with this retail," he argued.
Projects without bidding
In contrast to this socialist will, Isabel García has presented the proposal of MC.
"Our idea of ​​participation is to offer citizens homogeneous services, and that everyone can decide on strategic projects and future, investment but also spending, just the opposite of the short-term and lack of ideas of PP and PSOE, which have made 'cheeses' with the 2.5 million of the treasury remnant of 2017. And, as popular wisdom says, who much covers ... "
To conclude, and according to the information on the municipal website, the deputy spokesman from Cartagena said that "none of the projects voted by the neighbors in the last edition are in the tender process, so that, at the time we are here, we are very afraid that They are not going to be finished before the end of the year, they want to blame the opposition for not approving the budget before, but let no one forget that it was the mayor and her minority councilors who did not present it to the Plenary before the month. The PSOE and its proven incompetence are the only ones responsible for the municipal delay, in fact, the projects were known since December, they could have been completed in the absence of the budgetary appropriation, but they did not do it and now they want to escape their responsibility.
