Centralism in the main volunteer organization.

The Autonomous Assembly of the Red Cross assumes the powers of the local headquarters of Cartagena.

The president until now, Purification Lopez, has tried to recover the previous autonomy in the search of the optimization of resources.

But the regional leadership of the NGO has responded with a resounding negative despite the fact that it entailed a better use of the resources of the solidarity institution.

Both Lopez and virtually all of its board of directors have submitted their resignation for this reason.

Among them, Enrique Peláez stands out, responsible for the first twelve hours of intervention in the Los Alcázares floods of 2016.

The members of the humanitarian entity in the port city denounce even a witch hunt after the previous dismissals.

The own pair of Enrique Peláez, also director of the department of Socorro and Emergencias of Cartagena until its recent destitution, has been expelled of Red Cross in writing with the unique argumentation of the sentimental relation that maintains with the until now leader.

Even volunteers show their discomfort because the current acting president, Susana Figuerola, akin to regional management, has been called "catches and ignorant", according to sources of the institution of all solvency.

The same sources assure that even the budgets of the local Assembly of Cartagena are elaborated from the regional headquarters and that from Murcia they prevent the minimum management as the request of any resource (an ambulance, for example) to a delegation of another municipality without any type of economic consideration between both.

All the procedures have to go through the autonomic address including those that suppose a cost zero for the local offices.

The candidate for mayor and secretary general of the Cantonal Party of Cartagena, Celestino García Alfaro, regrets the elimination of the decentralization enjoyed by the Red Cross in the municipality and supports, together with most of the volunteers of the same, a closer management and efficient.
