"The municipal council approved a year ago the construction of another neighborhood headquarters and now the Councilor for Infrastructure, Juan Pedro Torralba, denies the execution of the work"

"Wet paper: This is how the motions approved by the City Council of Cartagena remain.The municipal plenary took out a year ago the construction of a new Social Premises in La Azohía.The work would assume an important economic support from the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development (Leader But now the Councilor for Infrastructure and Decentralization, Juan Pedro Torralba, assures the neighbors that it has no land and that the construction of the more than necessary neighborhood headquarters will not take place. Not a single mention is made by the socialist mayor and first lieutenant. from mayor to the communal party that he had, according to the Consistory, only twelve months ago.

The inhabitants of this coastal town in the west show great anger at this reversal.

The president of the Association of Neighbors of La Azohía, Josefa Agüera, explains to the Cantonal Party that even Torralba had promised them the adaptation of an old chapel on San Ginés beach as a location for the social premises.

"Everything has been left in water of booze." Both PP, MC and PSOE gave their word that we would have a new meeting place in the face of the present's deficiencies, "everyone has cheated us," regrets Agüera.

In this sense, the Association for the Defense of the Natural Environment of La Azohía (Adela) already accumulates twelve years of petitions to the City Council with the purpose that the different groups of the town have a "decent" meeting place, according to the own words of its president, Josué Pérez.

This environmental group is committed to the refurbishment of the old Civil Guard barracks as a multipurpose center.

In this population of the Cartagena coast there are three neighborhood associations (La Azohía, San Ginés and La Chapineta), an association of women, another of the third age, a cultural-sporting and a last one of an environmental nature.

All share two small rooms behind the church built more than thirty years ago and without space for any other type of complementary service such as a canteen or meeting room.

The municipal budget last year also included improvements in the medical office of La Azohía, which occupies a third room, also of small dimensions, next to those of the neighbors.

Not a single brick has moved the City Council since the approval of the municipal accounts of 2018. Patients request at least one waiting room and access for people with reduced mobility. "
