- The Mobile Municipal Meeting held today was requested last week by the orange training after meeting with one of the associations of the sector, "to find meeting points, and work to harmonize the mandatory compliance with safety, emergency and evacuation regulations and the interest of our vendors "
- Manuel Padín: "The Government has backed off on almost all its proposals as it could not be otherwise"
After attending today the Municipal Board of Street Sales, the spokesman for Citizens, Manuel Padín, said that "it is a real madness to seek a radical transformation of the markets with unilateral decisions and without consensus decisions with the groups that represent the sellers traveling from Cartagena ".
This Board was requested last week by the orange training after meeting with one of the associations of the sector, "to find meeting points, and work to harmonize the mandatory compliance with safety regulations, emergency and evacuation and the interest of our sellers "
"Thanks to the public complaints of sellers in recent weeks, today we have seen how the PSOE Government has recounted in almost all of its proposals that involved removing street vendors and take the municipal markets out of the population centers, as it could not be otherwise, "the orange spokesman said today.
The restructuring in which the PSOE of Cartagena is working affects the main markets that are installed every week such as Cenit, Bohío, Los Dolores, Mediterranean Urbanization, La Azohía or Barrio Peral, among others.
"Changing the location of the traditional markets provoked the indignation and fear of the sellers and their families as they foreseen unsustainable and ruinous economic losses", said Manuel Padín.
In addition, according to the Association of Sellers, Squares and Markets, the Government of Cartagena wanted, based on a report signed by the fire chief, Francisco Gómez-Ávalos of 2016, to relocate more than thirty posts in the Cenit for supposedly preventing that the minimum width be met in the Ribera de San Javier street and in the parallel pedestrian walkway.
"Now the City has asked for another report, and will listen to the alternatives proposed by the vendors so that emergency vehicles can access without having to suppress these locations," said the orange spokesman.
For Padín "it is surprising how badly the PSOE was managing this issue, that is why we have intervened denouncing the situation and asking for the convocation of this Board, we could not understand that it was intended to undertake such a radical and dramatic transformation of the conditions in which they work our street vendors without them, and with ideas that in some cases seem capricious, and in others, eminently little worked and reckless, that is generating unnecessary conflict with hundreds of Cartagena families who survive with work in these markets, " Manuel Padín lamented that "it does not help that since the beginning of the legislature the person responsible for this area has changed up to three times, this unstable government does not bring anything good to the municipality."
300 Vacancies
On the other hand, the spokesman of Citizens has asked the Government of the PSOE to expedite the process to convene the allocation of vacant positions, which associations of the sector, estimated at 300, "there are many people interested in filling these vacancies and is important not only to achieve a means of livelihood, but also because it will revitalize the supply of our municipal markets and will benefit everyone, "said Padin.
