Promises that fall on deaf ears again and again.
Almost a year ago, the Government of Spain announced the opening of a second Family Court in Cartagena.
Since then, the management of the Central Administration has suffered one delay after another.
The last commitment of the Ministry of Justice dated last September the opening of this essential new judicial headquarters.
But the delay in contracting the works in a street in Carlos III Street, near the Civil Registry, delayed its opening until at least the end of December, according to the dean of the Bar Association of Cartagena, Antonio Navarro Selfa.
The central executive, now in the hands of the PSOE and under the leadership of the PP when the new court projected, provides for the relocation of the Court of the Social No. 3 to the site still to be remodeled in Carlos III and, in the hole left by the latter in the Palace of Justice, the location of the much needed second of Family.
The people of Cartagena suffer more than a year of delay in the resolution of demands on a jurisdiction as sensitive and close to the citizen as the Family.
The files on divorces, regime of visits of minors and, what is worse, decrees of incapacity of dependents eternalize their resolution until the death of the patient in these last cases.
Judicial sources claim that up to five hundred cases a year arise in Cartagena related to people with disabilities.
An unsustainable number for a single Family Court.
Circumstance that has led even to the Bar Association to file a formal complaint with the Ombudsman for a situation that the lawyers qualified as "serious".
The candidate for mayor and general secretary of the Cantonal Party, Celestino García Alfaro, qualifies this nth adjournment in the second Family Court as "negligence" of the Management of the Ministry of Justice in the Region to Cartagena.
"It does not matter whether the PP or PSOE governs." The preparation of this diaphanous low in Carlos III Street costs very few euros, in this case, money is not the problem but the interest and diligence towards people who need the sentences of this institution to improve their lives ", denounces the head of the PCAN.
