As a result of the valuations that the retailers of Cartagena have done recently on the Fair Outlet, where they have shown their malaise with the municipal Government for lack of foresight and to make show of an improvisation that ends up harming them, the councilwoman vice speaker of MC Cartagena, Isabel García, said that the merchants themselves give the reason to the initiatives of Cartagena training related to the trade sector.

In this sense, the councilor of MC has stressed that "the PSOE has transformed a promotion and dynamisation tool into a pure and hard sale activity, where unfair competition is established with the shops of the center of Cartagena, which pay a high rents for their premises "as well as" more and more merchants who refuse to settle in the Outlet Fair for lack of staff to attend their own businesses and, at the same time, the stand for such a long period. "

For Garcia, "today tourists who come on cruise ships are not the solution to improve the situation of small businesses, because as they themselves recognize, they look for cheap and souvenir items."

Trying to find solutions, the deputy spokesperson of MC states that "the future of retail in Cartagena goes through the development of the Impulse Plan, so demanded by associations of the sector and the socialist government, first with the mayor Ana Belén Castejón in front and now with the councilor Carmen Martín del Amor, refuses to make it clear that they do not know what a strategic plan is and do not want to know it, they have lowered the amount of the business revitalization grants and intend to give them with the money from our amendment and that they should destine to this plan ".

And he adds that "they have tried to grossly sell a plagiarism, when it is clear that the development and implementation of a plan to boost proximity trade can not be done quickly and running, it should be done well, they are not worthless copies of other municipalities, because it must take into account the uniqueness of the Cartagena trade, we put the money, we have done the work to the PSOE, just lack the will, and from that the municipal government walks `cortito'."

Week of Commerce

MC's deputy spokesperson emphasizes in the same way that "the really sad thing is that they do not even know their arrogance allows them to be advised." Once finished the Outlet Fair, they go for the Week of Commerce, two energizing activities in less than one Month and the rest of the year they do not do anything, we have to take into account that an activity is extraordinary when it is done from time to time, if they are followed they lose their capacity to impact, they make citizens lose interest ".

And he ends by saying that "I suppose they want to optimize the booths of the Heroes de Cavite square, but we must assess both the cost and the impact that will be achieved." A good idea, given the date and the program , we believe that they have not been able to materialize, although we know that several associations made constructive proposals for the development of it ".
