"And we need you to specify the master plan to order the municipal work and protect the various reforestation campaigns that are being carried out, among others, the one planned in Alumbres," said Rama.

The maintenance of more than eight thousand trees planted in streets and squares in the urban areas of Cartagena and the different gardens, suffer from the problems of not having a good public maintenance plan and will be one of the issues that the Municipal Citizens Group brings to the negotiations prior to the debate and approval of the 2019 municipal budgets.

The mayor is going to request the local government to organize a meeting between the new concession to maintain the 1.2 million square meters of parks and gardens of the municipality that has begun to operate today through the Temporary Union of Companies (UTE) formed by Acciona y Acciona and all the political groups, "to a greater or lesser extent we have all shown during the legislature a real concern about the abandonment of our green spaces and I am sure they want and need a confrontation with the new company".

In addition, Rama has demanded a new session of the reforestation table, "in which the necessary master plan can be promoted at once to order, coordinate, and promote a plan of actions and maintenance of the reforested areas of the municipality."

On the other hand, the mayor of Citizens remember that the City still has pending, "apply the motion we proposed on protection of our arboreal heritage, approved unanimously in June 2017, update the catalog of monumental trees, start the procedures to create a ordinance for the protection of this natural property, and the placement of identification signs for the different arboreal, shrub and native species, in the main parks of the municipality and throughout the Casco Antiguo ".

In addition, the orange councilman regrets that the local government has allowed the loss of more than 200 trees that have disappeared due to diseases or drying up, as municipal sources confessed a few months ago, "we still have no firm plan to replace them, and the projects for new plantations are paralyzed, the situation in the councils is even worse ", this meeting with the concessionaires is very necessary so that they can inform about how to plan and carry out the actions.

"This is directly linked to the manifest lack of shade in this municipality, and that does so much damage during the hottest months," said the councilor who in this regard recalled that "the plenary agreement we promoted to implement a Plan in Cartagena de Sombra is still sleeping in a drawer waiting to be executed. "

The councilor of Cs has pointed out that "we all remember in Cartagena the disaster of the Plan E promoted by the Ministry in 2010, and how we throw away some 513,000 euros for bad planning in Mount Fajardo and Galeras."

Ana Rama said that "neither was done at the right time, nor were the species that had to be, nor was there any maintenance and care of the trees." This fudge has been forever engraved in the collective memory of Cartagena, But I hope that it helps to learn not to make the same mistakes, that was a failure, another recent example of how bad political decisions, and waste and lack of control, can harm the environment, in this case, our natural environment and not it can happen again.
