- The orange formation denounces that the PSOE government has not convened the meeting to analyze the proposals of all the groups to the Trade Plan, "nor has it apologized for its blatant plagiarism of the 2012 trade plan of the Palencia PP", has appointed the spokesman of Cs Cartagena

Cartagena, Thursday, September 27.

The Municipal Group of Citizens in Cartagena has assured today through a statement that is expectant before the response offered by the Government of Cartagena in the next ordinary plenary session before the question that has registered Cs on the plagiarism committed in the 10 municipal proposals presented in the Local Trade Bureau for the strategic plan, "we know that some political formations are experts in twisting the arguments and in escaping from the opposition's control, but in this case, I do not know what other response may be to public apologies for to shoot and present as own the proposals of the 2112 trade plan of the Palencia PP ".

"At the moment - explains Manuel Padín - the PSOE has not recognized these flagrant facts, has not apologized to the collectives of the sector, has not withdrawn the proposals, and still does not offer any own action to help our merchants."

On the other hand, Citizens has denounced today that the Government of Cartagena has breached the commitment acquired at the last meeting of the Trade Council on August 16, to convene on September 18 a meeting to discuss the proposals of all municipal groups, associations of merchants and other collectives to the draft of the Small Business Promotion Plan.

According to the orange spokesman, "the balance in this area of ​​the PSOE Government is a string of political calamities, announce the development of the trade plan in the last year of the legislature, plagiarize 10 loose proposals of a plan that does not adapt to the peculiarities of Cartagena, and they keep the Bureau of Commerce blocked ".

The cruiser does not spend in Cartagena

The spokesman for Citizens in Cartagena, Manuel Padín, said today that "one of the most amazing things about the draft of the Trade Plan is that it does not contain a single mention of the main claim of the hoteliers and merchants of Cartagena: the impulse of the outside promotion. "

Citizens have made mention of the extensive information published by the newspaper La Verdad about the profile and habits of cruise passengers, "from this information we are concerned about two issues, that 95 percent of tourists who travel the city do not receive any assistance from commercial and tourist promotion, and that, according to the guides themselves, visitors recriminate that about Cartagena there is little international promotion, "said Manuel Padín.

Cs spokesman 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 in Valencia, Coruña Barcelona, ​​Cádiz, the average cost per day of their cruceristas is between 65 and 100 euros, the average daily cost of the cruise in the city is 53 euros, while Cartagena is around 35 euros, "we are 34 percent below the national average, it is evident We need a joint strategy between all the actors, Cartagena Puerto de Culturas, the commercial and hotel sector and the Port Authority, however good the results for Cartagena are for cruise tourism, if the city is not rewarded because the local government is not capable to draw a plan that takes tourists and visitors to our stores, we are not doing anything. "

For this reason, Citizens has included among its proposals to the Trade Plan, that the Port Authority be included in the Council to design together with the City Council and the groups of the sector a commercial attraction strategy so that the thousands of cruise passengers who visit us each year do not pass by our businesses.

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.
