This morning, the general secretary of MC Cartagena and spokesman of the municipal group, José López, has appeared before the media to publicize the terrible situation that the Local Police of Cartagena is going through because of the disastrous management carried out by Castejón and his team.
In this sense, Lopez have warned about "the chaos that is looming in our town ahead of Carnival, Holy Week and election day, something that is the direct responsibility of the mayor for his lack of foresight and disinterest."
By way of introduction, the mayor of Cartagena has summarized the current state of the Local Police: there are 84 vacancies at December 31;
30 more agents retire in January;
16 more agents will retire throughout the year, and as for the commanders, the situation is even more striking;
the boss retires in January, his second retires in March, the other officer retired in December, there are 3 sergeants out of 8, there are 0 officers of 4 there were and there should be two sub-inspectors and there is none. "
The inaction of Castejón
José López recalled that MC was aware that this situation could happen, so "according to our commitment, we approved in December 2016 the offer of public employment with 19 places of newly created agent and 9 places of internal promotion ", reserving in the 2017 budget the economic items necessary for the new agents to be incorporated in the last quarter of 2017." However, yesterday, January 21, 2019, they began to measure the applicants for this public offer of employment ", he has indicated.
The Strategic Plan of the Local Police 2016-2019 contemplated the progressive incorporation of agents, something that has not happened because Castejón did not incorporate in 2017 any place to the offer of public employment.
In this way, "the 30 seats approved on December 29 arrive two years late, generating an authentic chaos in terms of the security of Cartagena."
This plan has clashed with the PSOE "who held the powers and delayed the opposition by turning the plan into a dead letter and compromising the safety of the municipality."
Lopez has denounced that "the PSOE has delayed the opposition to be convened under the Mayor's Office of Castejón, which prevented them from joining in 2017. With this, they cheat Cartagena, not MC, but they do not care".
To this partisan interest is added "his incompetence".
"When he was all ready, he decided that Francisco Aznar was too much for him and that he wanted to negotiate promotions to win the favor of the unions, he called it 'social peace', skipping the scandals of the million euro proclamation or saturating the agents with hours extras instead of offering promotions for the principles of equality, merit and ability, "he said.
Easter
On the other hand, José López has warned about the fact that "for Easter there will be no local police chief, just at the moment when more security is necessary."
Faced with this situation, the mayor of Cartagena has invited the mayor to demand that the central government "enable a legal channel to replenish the agents needed and make the service viable and, with it, the safety of citizens."
The councilor of MC has detailed that "it is a situation that we will inherit from May and that will force us to an effort that we are already planning".
Among the measures, has shown that "with one million euros in overtime per year can hire 20 full-time agents, and that is the first intention."
In addition, to the progressive increase of the staff, we must add an "optimization of the service, as well as the study of coordination formulas with the State Security Forces and Corps, as well as other ways such as the local police".
José López has ended up wishing that "we do not have to regret this lack of troops, which confirms that the PSOE is not bad managing, but is dangerous, as is the PP, which was for years consenting to pervert the management of this body" .
