- "Neither is the lack of communication between the members of Hostecar and the City Council, since our hoteliers also suffer this phenomenon and their experience is valuable to find solutions and remedies," recriminates Cs spokesman, Manuel Padín.
Cartagena, Monday, February 4.
Following the information published today by the newspaper La Opinion about the complaints of the residents of Cartagena for the systematic breach of municipal regulations and the lack of sanctions against people who consume alcoholic beverages on public roads, the spokesperson for Citizens in Cartagena, Manuel Padín, has pointed out that after several meetings of the Pact Board for the Night, the last one in March of 2017, it was demonstrated that this space was completely ineffective to eradicate or reduce the bottleneck phenomenon ".
"We consider that in our municipal ordinance there is still a lot of room to update it, harden it, and revise it, a regulation that has just turned 16 and requires an adaptation to the current times, it is also evident that the brutal deficit that exists in the staff of our Local Police, that we owe it to PP, PSOE and MC that have been unable to reinforce it and thus enable the increase of police presence in our streets, "said the spokesman of Cs who believes that the City" not can settle for running leisure programs punctual and whose results are not evaluated, or allow the bottles while they do not bother because in the end we will have to regret a misfortune, and we were very close to suffer it last year when several episodes of assault and stabbing were chained night skirmishes ".
With regard to the Pact for the Night, the spokesman thinks that it must meet again, but with the commitment to reorient itself with new objectives in the short and medium term, and has recalled that in response to the problems that were poured there was presented in April 2017 the INTEMSA program (Initiatives of Healthy Time) that has turned out to be insufficient and of which nothing is known, "a noble attempt that PSOE and MC spoiled due to lack of evaluation, rectification and continuity".
"Neither is the lack of communication between the members of Hostecar and the City Council, since our hoteliers also suffer from this phenomenon and their experience is valuable in finding solutions and remedies," says Manuel Padín.
For the councilor of Cs is clear that "we have before us a complex problem but shared by the big Spanish cities, that allows us to learn from the municipalities that have known how to do things well, we need a plan of collision for the civic coexistence to several levels, "when we continue to find children in the bottles is also failing family control, and from the City Council we can do many things to advise and raise awareness of children and parents through schools, we must also analyze the results of those municipalities that They have reinforced Civil Protection or other services for the benefit of the community with young people sanctioned for making bottles, implementing more special operations, such as those made in traffic, to reduce the phenomenon by means of police waves, to close certain areas at night, or increase controls to establishments that sell alcoholic beverages on weekends
