Javier Sanchez Serna, congressman and Pilar Marcos, Councilor of CTSSP, met this morning at the hermitage of El Portús with the residents of the area to resume the problem of the abandonment of the beach and the town by the local, regional and state administrations.
The neighborhood representative Luis Saura, has claimed the settlement of a part of the beach that remains closed for more than 4 years by the detachment of Monte de Las Casillas, more monitoring of the discharges of ships that stop here, and open publicly access to Playa Morena, a beach that people can not pass because you have to climb the mountain dangerously.
"We want these demands to move nationally, we need more involvement because it is a problem of State Costs, we do not want to be the poor sister of Cala Cortina," added the representative of the neighbors.
Serna explained that "there was already a project in the budgets of 2011 and 2012 and now we must remind the socialist government that there are issues of the past that are not yet fulfilled and that have to be implemented." One of the amendments to the next budgets general is that these games are recovered and executed, and of course follow-up so that it does not happen as on other occasions. "
Regarding the passage of Playa Morena the deputy has pointed out that "the coast is for everyone, and that we must ensure that residents and users have a public and safe access, is one of the elements that must be met also in that budget project. "
For his part, Pilar Marcos commented that "we are going to ask for an integral recovery of the area, beach and town." From our group we have been supporting the neighbors and we have presented initiatives to the plenary session with the matter of Cala Morena, therefore that request that had already been approved in the BOE in 2010 must be implemented as soon as possible.On the other hand it is inadmissible to throw toxic spills and garbage from the boats that are in front of the beach, from the port authority they deny it, but the neighbors have images and there is proof that this is so, this is also Cartagena's beach like La Cortina, and it has to be taken care of ".
