This morning, the deputy spokesperson of MC Cartagena, Isabel García, has denounced the neglect and insolvency of the Socialist Executive in matters of commercial revitalization, a circumstance on which the MC's plenary initiative will be based to change the statutes of the Commerce Council to the object of that integrate to the Municipal Groups in the work commissions of the aforementioned entity.

García has started from this premise by adding that the motion seeks "the inclusion of the groups in the tables where the study and development of specific topics is carried out, for example, the commercial revitalization and infrastructures".

"We understand that we have already had enough 'postureo' and that it is time to combine efforts in planning, investments or environment and develop actions of commercial revitalization that integrate the entire municipality."

The Cartagena leader has anticipated "the great challenges that trade has today, on the one hand, the improvement of commercial infrastructures, but not pedestrianization and, of course, the forgotten Plan for Promoting Trade in Proximity. They have done nothing, as usual in them, they remain in the superfluous, the easy owner, there is a lot to do before talking about the brand. to group all the commerce of Cartagena, not only to the center, "he pointed out.

The importance of the brand

In this sense, the deputy spokesperson of MC has added that to get a brand that "allows its internalization by the merchants, as well as the identification and recognition by the consumer, it would be advisable to set up a technical commission from which emanates a debate and consensus away from improvisation and socialist occurrence ".

He has cited as possibility 'Cartagena city of purchases'.

The umpteenth occurrence, now, pedestrianization

Entering the debate generated around pedestrianization, the councilor from Cartagena has stated that "the only thing that can coincide with Castejón is the bad state of the Serreta-Caridad-Gisbert-Puerto axis, which is why we include it in the 2018 Budget. a series of amendments aimed at boosting and enhancing the area. "

Immediately after, he stated that "we do not know the draft budgets and if it really includes a game to start pedestrianization this year, it would be a new mistake for Castejón, because before committing money to something that is in the air and that does not have no one's consensus, should invest in the project of integral remodeling of the Santa Florentina Market or the streets of San Fernando and Cuatro Santos, all are initiatives demanded by the merchants and that have the majority support of the full municipal ".

Need for prior study

The mayor has continued arguing the positioning of her training in the need for pedestrianization.

"We are not against pedestrianization, but it is done without a serious study and an assessment of pros and cons, which is why we asked the UPCT to carry out the pertinent mobility and pedestrian behavior studies. José Soler at the last meeting of the Mobility Board, held in 2017. "

Isabel Garcia recalled that "in many cities this option (pedestrianization) has been relegated in favor of reduced-speed apples. Natural apples are chosen surrounded by roads that maintain a logical flow while internal traffic is restricted to the minimum speed. , never banned, so pedestrians, cyclists, freight and dumpsters and neighbors could live together ".

The PSOE deactivates the Table of Mobility

Subsequently, the councilor of MC has lamented that "this work, the result of joint work of neighbors, merchants, users and technicians in the Bureau of Mobility has been forgotten, it is a working forum to which the Socialist City Hall has stripped of operation from its breach of the government pact.

He concluded by recalling that "Cartagena is the third Spanish city with the most traffic jams, if Castejón continues with any of these projects, we could have the dubious honor of becoming the first, an achievement that adds to its consolidated chaos".
