- According to the former president of the Port Authority, Adrián Ángel Viudes, the PP Valencian MEP, Esteban González Pons agreed with Ramón Luis Valcárcel not to support the project of the dock of El Gorguel "for being a noxious competition with the Port of Valencia" and that in exchange for that resignation, "they would include the Murcian in the lists as an MEP", as finally happened
- The PP has not denied these accusations since they were made public almost a year ago, "who calla grants," says the spokesman of Cs Cartagena
What is waiting for the regional and local PP to deny or recognize the very serious accusations of the former president of the Port Authority ?, asked the spokesman of the Orange formation in Cartagena, Manuel Padin, who argues that "exactly one year ago that Mr. Viudes said publicly that the former president of the region, Ramón Luis Valcárcel, sold the progress of Cartagena for an armchair in the European Parliament, which blocked the promotion of the new dock project of El Gorguel for the interests of the PP in Valencia; and the PP has been silent for a whole year, "says Padín.
Citizens has made reference to the article of opinion published by the newspaper La Verdad and signed by the former president of the Port Authority in November 2017 in which he stated that "astonished by the null performance of the Community to develop the new Port of El Gorguel , someone informed him that the PP Valencian MEP, Esteban González Pons had agreed with Ramón Luis Valcárcel not to support the Gorguel project "for being a noxious competition with the Port of Valencia and that in exchange for that resignation," would include Murcia in the lists as an MEP ", as finally happened.
On October 29, the former president of the Port Authority ratified these accusations in an interview given to the same newspaper in which he reported that he left "a hundred and a billion euros in the box to start making El Gorguel but they have spent many nonsense, including Camarillas, a work that the Ministry of Development had to do by law, the important studies (for El Gorguel) were done, we only needed the permission of Brussels. "
According to Viudes, a person of absolute confidence assured him that the project would not go ahead because González Pons had conditioned the inclusion of former President Valcárcel on the PP lists for Europe to the Regional Government's resignation to promote El Gorguel because otherwise it would be damaged the interest of the Port of Valencia.
Moreover, Viudes also points out that with the blockade of the Murcian PP millionaire investments were lost from China and from the European Bank with which it was going to pay almost half of the total investment;
part of them went to Valencia, he adds.
For the spokesperson for Citizens in Cartagena these accusations are extremely serious, "the possibility that the most important strategic project for Cartagena and the entire Community could have been the currency for Ramón Luis Valcárcel could enjoy a comfortable retirement in the The European Parliament obliges us to ask the PP of Cartagena for explanations.
If what Mr. Adrián Ángel Viudes says is true, we are facing the example and the most scandalous, humiliating and outrageous evidence that the PP always puts its internal, and even personal, partisan interests before those of the Region and those of the Port of Cartagena. "
They only ask for the declaration with the PSOE in the Government of Spain
The fact that the Community has never asked the Government of Spain with the PP that the dock of El Gorguel be declared as a strategic project of public interest, "and do it now that it governs the PSOE, gives us an idea of ​​the extent to which the PP despises our interests and how their initiative is pure theater. "
In fact, the PP had always affirmed that it had to wait for the opinion of Brussels to ask for this declaration, "now apparently it is not necessary, what political cynicism", says Manuel Padín.
On the other hand, for the orange spokesman "if true, it reaffirms our suspicions that the PP has played with strategic infrastructures in a partisan way for decades."
"It is not only El Gorguel, it is the AVE that does not arrive, it is the Mediterranean Corridor in which we are not included, it is the deficient regional budget that arrives in Cartagena, it is the abandoned historical heritage, it is pollution, it is the delay for develop the ZAL of Cartagena that was only started thanks to the amendments of Cs in the Assembly, is all ".
"PP leaders could have sold the future of Cartagena to their leaders in Madrid and Valencia and they do not care if our economic and productive development is at stake, thousands of jobs and hundreds of millions of euros in investments," laments orange spokesman.
Cs position with El Gorguel
Citizens are in favor of the construction of the container terminal that the Port of Cartagena wants to build in the El Gorguel cove, always subject to obtaining all the permits and environmental authorizations that the legislation requires.
He has also expressed in favor of declaring El Gorguel as a strategic project of the first order.
"If the appropriate protection plans are established and if the relevant environmental permits and authorizations are obtained", which have to be issued by the Ministry of the Environment and, ultimately, by the European Commission, "we clearly bet on El Gorguel and that will be an economic boost for the region and the entire region, without folds, without exchange currencies, without political intrigues, our bet is for Cartagena and the Region ", says Manuel Padín.
