This morning, the deputy spokesperson of the Municipal Group MC Cartagena, Isabel García, has transmitted the positioning of the Cartagena training to censure the socialist performance in the Boards of Government, guided by the will to undo plenary agreements;
forget the general interest and the obligation to respond to the needs of the neighbors in exchange for the search for electoral revenue and the 'purchase of wills'.
Starting from these conclusions, easily deductible from day to day in the Socialist Executive, Garcia has begun his speech, noting that "Castejón does not care about the welfare of Cartagena in the least, the only thing that motivates him is his own fortune. It was enough to get the MC councilors out of the way, but it also cut off the heads of the comrades of their own party.These decisions are also evident in the different minutes of the Boards of Government, with up to three restructurings of the municipal government, and councilors who have changed competences three times ".
Regarding the actions in the Government Board, Garcia recalled the extraordinary session of December 29, 2017 in which, illegally, the mayor approved the water rates proposed by Hidrogea, "despite the warnings of councilors This is how the Government Boards led by Ms. Castejón work, "the mayor pointed out.
Budget modifications that eliminate amendments approved in the Plenary
Regarding the budgetary modifications, foreseen in the Law, Isabel García has warned that "in many cases they obey requests from the services themselves to make better use of the surplus money." Despite this, we have to question the modifications that eliminate the amendments approved by the majority of councilors of this Plenary. "
In this sense, Isabel García has detailed the following actions undertaken by the PSOE:
On September 14, they destine, at RED hours of firefighters and brigades, the 65,000 euros foreseen for the reform of Gisbert Street;
50,000 for the adaptation of municipal buildings;
41,194 for the rehabilitation of Cuatro Santos street and 50,000 for the rehabilitation of the Torreciega bridge.
On that same date, they also have 85,000 euros of the amendment for the start-up of the Palace of Sports and that were not intended to comply with the motion approved by the Plenary to install artificial turf on the El Bohío football field.
On October 9 decided to allocate more than 92,000 euros of the reform of the street Beatas and adjacent in, again, RED hours of brigades.
On October 26, they appropriated the 80,000 euros that had to be allocated to the approved amendment, by 24 councilors, at the proposal of the MC for the necessary Proximity Trade Promotion Plan, to be spent on promotion and revitalization.
Another one of the most outstanding modifications is the one of the soccer field 5 of the Aljorra and installation of lights, that had a endowment of 150,000 Euros, which were destined to parties and the jazz festival.
In this regard, the deputy spokesperson of MC has questioned such actions "that were not intended, for example, to finance the part that was missing to be able to tender the new medical center of Santa Ana, so necessary and claimed for years."
"It is one more example that the socialist government prefers another way of doing things: go to take the photo and lie to the neighbors telling them that they will do it next year, when they know that they will not be able to remove, before the elections, the 2019 Budgets ".
Payment of expired contract services
Next, García has made reference to the payment of services whose contracts have expired.
These contracts have not been re-tendered and the previous company is maintained, which is paid by invoices.
"It is a practice inherited from the PP that the mayor José López wanted to regularize and now the PSOE returns to resume."
Also, the councilor stressed that "they like to pay bills for extraordinary services" outside of contracts.The general interest endorses everything, but rather it seems private benefit and, more specifically, the mayor and his entourage, who use the bureaucracy at their whim and, despite this, they continue to give lessons in morality and good manners. "
The PSOE governs with its back to the Plenary
Finalizing with his first intervention, he remarked that what does not interest the Executive of Castejón does not carry it.
Such is the case of compliance with the MC amendments to subsidize the UPCT Racing Team, the Youth Symphony Orchestra or the Chamber Orchestra, whose proposals must be approved by the Governing Board.
"Keep governing with your back to this House, maximum representation of the citizens of Cartagena, with their backs to the neighbors and against them," said Garcia, who has said that in the meantime "MC will continue in the hands of Cartagena, listening to their problems We are not trying to impose our will, Mrs. Castejón, but to fulfill their demands and you, as has been reflected, do not do it ".
Message of hope in front of the misgovernment that suffers the municipality
Finally, during the turn of reply, Isabel Garcia has sent a message of hope in front of the misrule suffered by the municipality, ensuring that "MC will continue to work, monitoring and pressing so that, at least, people know the breaches of this Executive During the time we have held government responsibilities we have shown that honest, effective and service can be done to the neighbors, our true leaders, to them, we promise to work for a better present and a worthy future for their children and grandchildren, so that they continue here, in the small homeland of their parents and grandparents, linked to their ancestors, proud of their history and their customs ".
