In recent days we are observing how from the regional and state administrations begin to wink at Cartagena in the form of investment in heritage, which is not so in Infrastructure, Health or the other administrative areas that are so left in Cartagena and its region.
On the one hand, the candidate to leave Cartagena definitely, Noelia Arroyo, sells us as a personal initiative a game of 50,000 euros for the Master Plan of the Cathedral of Cartagena that the budget contemplates due to the legal obligation that demanded and won the Virgen de the charity.
With this, he wants to cover his direct attacks on the heritage of Cartagena, which have gone from delaying the recovery of the Amphitheater for two years to hampering the excavations of the Monte Sacro or the Plaza de la Merced, putting obstacles to the illumination of the niches of the images of the Four saints of Cartagena, let the House of the Child continue to degrade or the nonsense of snatching the Central Cinema to our City Council paying 100,000 euros more than what the real estate accepted for, three years later, having it closed down, and not knowing what do with the property.
That yes, with half of its objective fulfilled, because it has delayed but it has not been able to prevent the resurgence of our patrimony this legislature.
Because the push of MC has forced, as it has done now with the pachequero Pedro Saura, former detractor, today valid Pedro Sanchez 'Caostejón' in the Region, which teaches us the tip of the cap just before a municipal elections that smell like sure failure and some nationals that may well leave their training in danger of deserved extinction.
Thus, the two actions patrimonial longest demanded by the Cartagena and that MC has put on the agenda and municipal budgets, the authentic Cathedral of the Diocese of Cartagena and the Amphitheater, have deserved to have for the first time place in the draft general budgets of the State, in the form of multiannual investment and with a joint heading, which raises questions as long as they do not make a distinction, of 4 million euros for the next 4 years.
The breakdown appears to be 50,000 euros for this year of municipal elections and 200,000 euros for 2020, the year of general elections.
It should reach 4 million at a rate of 550,000 euros in 2021 and 1,200,000 euros in 2022 to reach that figure in 2023, where they must contribute the rest (2 million euros).
In such a way that the 'big snack' of those budgets is something future and uncertain, it may or may not be fulfilled as many times has happened and we are used to it in Cartagena, becoming in the end a mere electoral window dressing.
That said, we appreciate the sensitivity or fear that the emergence of a party born in the town of Cartagena, with no other purpose to watch over and care for its progress and future, have generated in Murcia and Madrid, and we take this opportunity to remind you that MC does not work for himself, he does it for Cartagena.
Therefore, this political success is really social, it is of those groups that fight for Cartagena, for its historical and patrimonial heritage, the Virgen de la Caridad Platform, Monte Miral Association, Cartagena Citizen Convergence or DAPHNE, as paradigmatic examples that They have found and have in us a clear speaker for their just demands.
MC is recognized in almost all these associations and collectives.
Finally, we have proved to be a catalyst and a reactive materializer of his hard work and effort.
From our training we congratulate ourselves that the fear of losing Cartagena and with it their chairs and their salaries now bring a few crumbs.
Surely in the future will be more and better budget rations.
And it is that this son of the town of Cartagena that is MC always comes with a bread under his arm to satisfy the hunger in our municipality.
