- "We as an opposition in Cartagena and in the Assembly, we can not be more constructive or do more than what we have done, introduce in the Law of Acceleration the legislative support for the execution of urban regulations and promote from the local plenary session not only its execution in areas that do not entail significant effects for the environment, but also require the development of environmental assessment to promote the pending projects in the Valley of Escombreras, "said the spokesman for Citizens in Cartagena, Manuel Padín
Citizens have asked the PP and PSOE to address the meeting of the Mixed Commission that will analyze tomorrow (as announced by the Minister of Development Patricio Valverde) the opinion of the Legal Council on the Transitory Urban Regulations (NNTT), "with agreement and without mixing partisan issues that may obscure or hinder a difficult process, slow but vital to the interests of Cartagena. "
"Above any other consideration, must be overcome with all legal and legal guarantees the urban blockade of the municipality," said the spokesman for Citizens in Cartagena, Manuel Padin, who believes that if it is a matter of mutual reproaches, "these two parties can only aspire to a technical draw since the PP was the one that perpetrated the General Plan of Urban Planning (PGOU) knocked down by the Supreme Court that has put us in this paralysis and the one that has broken his word that the NNTT would be in force months ago, and the PSOE which has delayed the start of work for the drafting of a new PGOU until the last months of the legislature.
For Manuel Padín, "the best that these two parties can do, while governing the Community and Cartagena is to park for a moment their differences, phobias and political allergies, and work hand in hand to take forward a provisional tool that should allow urban development and an investment of close to 130 million euros, with the jobs and municipal taxes that entails. "
"We as opposition in Cartagena and in the Assembly, we can not be more constructive or do more than what we have done, introduce in the Law of Acceleration the legislative support for the execution of the NNTT and promote from the Plenary not only its execution in the areas that do not have significant effects on the environment, but also require the development of environmental assessment to promote the pending projects in the Valley of Escombreras, "said Manuel Padin who believes that" now it is up to the PP and the PSOE to agree the last steps to apply the rules and unblock the largest number of planned urban projects, many jobs are at stake, and the expected revenues in the municipal budget this year and next. "
In this regard, the orange training spokesman has asked the mayor of Cartagena, Ana Belén Castejón, "attend in that meeting the plenary agreement promoted by Citizens in the last regular session to urge the competent authorities to start as soon as possible the procedures for strategic environmental assessment for those areas of the NNTT that are not within the assumptions of the new wording of Article 145 of the Land Law of the Region of Murcia, given in the Law of Business Acceleration, and requesting the Community that lighten the deadlines for the final approval of the standards with the legal and legal shield necessary to avoid further setbacks ".
As for the opinion of the Legal Council, the Citizen spokesman recalls that the amendment introduced by Cs has been validated to limit the effects of the NNTT, that the Community is urged to establish the necessary mechanisms to suspend the Plan of 87 in the areas of performance of the standards, and that an evaluation by the competent environmental body is necessary, "these steps are those that will have to be clarified in the meeting of the Mixed Commission, and I hope that PP and PSOE will put their part".
