- "I believe that this project could be the foundation of a Local Plan for Inclusion and Social Cohesion, specific plans have been made for slums but not a general one in this municipality and with the commitment to renew it annually," says the Cs spokesperson. Cartagena, Manuel Padín

Cartagena, Tuesday, January 1.

The spokesman for Citizens in Cartagena, Manuel Padín, and the mayor, Ana Rama, have received in their municipal offices in the Consistorial Palace those responsible for the project of Intercultural Community Intervention (ICI), in the Historic District and Sector Station, to the coordinator , Cristina Martínez, and assistant technician, Alba Pellicer, who have been accompanied by a worker from the Department of Social Services.

The purpose of these meetings with the Municipal Groups of the City Council has been to collect the opinion of the different political forces, among other interested entities in the ICI, about the development of this project that began in July 2014 with the support of the Obra Social ' La Caixa 'and the management of Fundación CEPAIM and in which around twenty collective and public and private institutions have collaborated.

The coordinator of this project, from the CEPAIM Foundation, explained that in 2019 they began a stage of evaluation of the entire project, "we are developing a historical story with the aim of making visible the work and the changes that we have introduced in the territory, so that we are in a position to carry out a complete diagnosis of the program and face new future challenges to promote coexistence and social cohesion ".

They also reported that they are immersed in the organization of the Winter School with the hope to attend more than thirty young people divided into two working groups.

The origin of a Local Plan for Inclusion in Cartagena?

"I believe that this project could be the foundation of a Local Plan for Inclusion and Social Cohesion in this municipality, specific plans and interventions have been made in neighborhoods, but not a general one with the commitment to renew it annually," says Manuel Padín He hopes that this idea, "if it is collected by the Government, is able to accompany it with an effective system of control and good management that allows to fight effectively inequalities and contribute to the development of the most disadvantaged areas of the city."

Cs describes as "extraordinary" the work that has been done during these four years with this community intervention and asked to improve the participation of the City in upcoming appointments "we know from them that some municipal technicians have collaborated, but in a timely manner I think it is It is desirable that we make an effort so that part of our social workers can lend a hand to the project full time and with the utmost dedication. "

Manuel Padín has insisted that this kind of projects are essential but must be contextualized in a municipal political action that affects education and urban regeneration, "everything is a chain, punctual interventions are necessary and create a very productive social inertia but they are not enough if there is not a multi-level roadmap behind it. "

"Everything is connected, if we promote a plan of commercial dynamisation, we will generate employment and wealth, if we reverse the aging of our real estate park, if we promote the Agency for Local Development and Employment, if we build works on abandoned lots, if we do the Comprehensive Tourism Plan, if we do all that, we will create a growth spiral that will also facilitate the social integration of all migration profiles, "said Manuel Padín.

The Intercultural Community Intervention Project, promoted by the Obra Social "la Caixa" in 32 neighborhoods of Spain in collaboration with different administrations and social entities, is a social action initiative with a preventive orientation and that fosters intercultural relations, favors cohesion social and aims to promote coexistence and community development of their territories.
