- The Observatory of the Association for the Excellence of Public Services confirms the cuts in cleaning, urban planning, security or infrastructures since 2015, "that's why it seems to us a shameless thing that MC celebrates the accounting surplus of his years of government, that is, what that his incompetence and bad management stopped investing in essential services of Cartagena, "says the local spokesman for Citizens

- "Cartagena needs as soon as possible a stable and strong government but without rollers to put this disaster back," says Manuel Padín.

Cartagena, Friday, January 4.

"The devastating report of the Observatory of Urban Services (OSUR) on Cartagena confirms each and every one of the diagnoses that Citizens has been doing since 2015 and demonstrates that the coalition between PSOE and local populism of MC is the worst thing that has gone to the municipality after the roll of the PP, "said today the spokesman for Citizens in Cartagena, Manuel Padín, after assessing the analysis conducted by the Association for the Excellence in Public Services nationwide that confirms the cuts that PSOE and MC have undertaken in almost all essential public services of the municipality since 2015 "something that has led to widespread deterioration of the quality of life of Cartagena."

"It is cut in cleanliness, urbanism, security or infrastructures, and MC has the shamelessness and cynicism to celebrate the accounting surplus of his years of government, that is, what his incompetence and mismanagement stopped investing in essential services of Cartagena ", says Manuel Padín, who dismisses MC as" irresponsible populism who worried before handpicking the president of this party as coordinator of Sustainable Development (without experience and with indecent terminations) or putting flags on clubs, that of properly managing the municipality".

"The image of the political management offered by the experts of the Observatory is radically contrary to what they have tried to sell socialists and localists throughout the legislature, Cartagena has suffered useless and irresponsible wars by the power of MC and PSOE and now not what we say only us but also the general director of OSUR, Ramiro Aurín: Municipal governments with internal conflicts or the result of unstable alliances do not allow the proper management of public services, especially those of direct management, more sensitive to political instability. It is a good example of how populisms of all colors are not reliable partners for municipal governments, Cs recalls that if today Cartagena has a government in a reckless minority that is not capable of managing such an important municipality, it has been "because MC caused his expulsion and abandoned his responsibilities by pure electoral strategy;

populism neither knows nor wants to govern;

the PSOE committed the sin of associating itself with populism;

something that will pass bill to him at national and municipal level ".

The spokesman of Citizens expects "that the Government that emerges in May will be a strong and stable Government but without rollers, and the Cartagena citizens will not have to suffer another four years of inaction, incompetence and political weakness".

The abandonment of public services is nothing new, since "we have been denouncing this neglect of basic public services for three and a half years, demanding the updating of municipal legislation, collecting complaints and the fear of neighbors for the lack of security in neighborhoods and councils, for generalized dirtiness, for the abandonment of gardens, for the abandonment of sports facilities, or for delays and collapse when it comes to resolving the complaints of neighborhood committees ".

Urbanism and Housing have seen their investment reduced by 40%

Last December, the Municipal Group of Cs met with the coordinator of Sustainable Development to solve the alarming aging of the real estate park, and contributed a draft-type of ordinance to promote the Building Assessment Report (IEE), "in our In the municipality there are about 25,000 homes that should have undergone this technical inspection, the collapse of a house in San Antón was a warning of what can happen if we do not get to work on this, "explains Padín.

During the meeting also addressed the need to strengthen the area of ​​Urbanism responsible for inspecting the security in housing blocks with more staff because the current does not give enough.

Today, the OSUR report shows that the housing and urban planning expenditure of the City of Cartagena has been reduced by 40% in 2018 from the little that was contributed in 2017. According to Manuel Padín "we can not understand how precisely in these areas, basic for any municipality, they are ignored in the budget, from our Group we have proposed many initiatives, develop an urban transport optimization plan, a comprehensive road safety plan, a crash plan to combat the neglect of abandoned lots, increase subsidiary executions, tapiar entries in buildings in ruins, and combat illegal urban landfills

Neighborhood security, pending issue this term

Another of the key points of the OSUR report, reflects that the municipal spending on security, decreases year after year.

For the orange spokesman, "this is the straw that fills the glass, in these years we have collected the concern of many neighbors for the lack of security, in Los Nietos, Pozo Estrecho, or La Palma, we have alerted the local Executive of all the possible ways, and we have even designed and defended in plenary a plan against violent illegal occupation and narcophones, which was rejected by the Plenary because it did not have the support of any political group, PSOE and Podemos even dared to say that these phenomena They do not occur in Cartagena, we hope that the results of this report will embarrass them and awaken them at once and the Government will understand that the insecurity perceived by the people of Cartagena is a reality, not a mere subjective appreciation and do not continue to waste economic efforts in this matter " .

Tourism and Sports, abandoned

Tourism and Sports are two more examples of the fall in municipal investment in this term;

Cs spokesman says that "since 2015 Cartagena has been condemned to not have the slightest coordination between institutions, which has meant that the tourism market is suffering in the municipality despite the increase in visitors" and remember that it was Citizens who rescued the Tourism Advisory Board in 2017, after 31 years of inactivity, but, although this could have been the ideal tool to develop a tourism strategy, the local government still does not put it into operation. "Citizens denounces that nothing has been worked on in the Tourism Plan either, "that Cartagena does not have an updated tourism plan is something inconceivable".

Cartagena is also one of the municipalities that invests least in its funerary heritage, "and that, having such prestigious and valuable cemeteries as Los Remedios, seems an unjustifiable infamy", defends the Cs spokesman.
