"What happened with a school bus, which involved the rescue of 70 students, when they were trapped in the way of the Siphon, is the absolute responsibility of the City of Cartagena for its abandonment in carrying out the works to improve the road, not cut it in time, after a whole night of heavy rains.
And of course, also the responsibility of the Ministry of Education, which has allowed schoolchildren to move to educational centers in a very risky situation due to the danger of flooding. "This is how the purple formation has directly accused, through Pilar Marcos, the two competent institutions, while demanding political and technical responsibilities for what happened with the school bus caught in the morning today.
Since the beginning of the legislature, the Siphon Highway has been ordered by the neighbors, and also by the CTSSP group in September 2015, and they requested it again in March 2016, since each time it rained it they produced large water retentions, preventing circulation, in addition to the danger that it entailed for the traffic and the neighbors of the area.
But neither MC, nor the PSOE, have been able to solve this serious problem that today has caused several vehicles to be trapped in the water, and the worst is what happened with the school bus, having to be rescued by the police local and firefighters, a much more serious accident may have occurred.
For We can this is extremely serious, so the municipal government must respond for this, by not putting the necessary prevention measures that would have avoided this situation, and of course for not having started the works of repair of the road, that even they have come to be budgeted through a municipal item that was never executed.
"Ineptitude, abandonment of functions, irresponsibility with the security of the neighbors of Cartagena", so the spokeswoman of CTSSP and Secretary General of Podemos, the Government of the PSOE, so in the next Plenary will demand political and technical responsibilities of the happened.
On the other hand we can also ask the Ministry of Education for responsibilities, since today it has not announced the suspension of classes throughout the municipality of Cartagena, knowing that in many areas there is a serious risk of flooding along the avenues of the ramblas.
"You can not play with the safety of the children of Cartagena, and therefore we will also demand that all responsibilities of this alleged abandonment of functions by the Ministry of Education of the Region of Murcia be purged," concluded Pilar Marcos .
