After knowing that the PSOE Government has not yet paid the municipal subsidy to the Youth Symphony Orchestra of Cartagena, which is seriously damaging the activity of this group, the councilor of MC Cartagena and responsible for Culture, Ricardo Segado, has denounced that The Socialists "penalize young people, university students and the culture in general, as evidenced by the fact that the Youth Symphony Orchestra of Cartagena had to denounce the delay in the payment of the subsidy that MC introduced in the municipal budget, with the consequent problems of operation that causes them. "
Segado recalled that he was also encouraged to ensure assistance to "the Chamber Orchestra, as well as the UPCT Racing Team, which they have left without the contribution that was in the budget for their interesting work."
Also, the mayor has clarified that "if the subsidies have been extended is because the technicians have taken into account the Strategic Grants Plan, approved by Mayor José López, and processed by Isabel García against the PSOE criteria, which preferred that no competitive competition procedures were opened. "
Also, Ricardo Segado has warned that "aware that the extension of subsidies has a political purpose and that the socialist inspector gives all the whims to his partner 'Caostejón', we will review the change of legal criteria of the municipal technicians, so opportune so that the subsidies are distributed before the elections, and that coincides with the 20,000-euro increase in the salary of the auditor who wanted to cast in the last Plenary. "
Shore batteries
Regarding the negotiations between the City of Cartagena and the Ministry of Defense for the transfer of Fajardo's battery, Ricardo Segado recalled that "Castejón has the agreement on the table since July 2017, which was sent by the Ministry of Defense Mayor José López requested it, after which we met with José Manuel Chacón to study the uses and also with the Scouts, while the mayor only claimed the file and broke the negotiations. "
After this, he explained, "now take this issue, as everything, to say in the face of the elections, so I remind Castejón that Mayor Lopez also requested the C5, as headquarters for Campus Mare Nostrum, which form UPCT and UMU , as well as the submarine tunnels and the beach of Espalmador, in case it has happened to announce it, because surely that to transact has not processed anything ".
Finally, Ricardo Segado has shown that "the Ministry of Culture has taken 18 years to comply with the ruling by which the Directorate General of Cultural Property should urge the Ministry of Defense to implement the necessary conservation measures and protection of the battery, perhaps because counselor Guardiola knows the laws and has put the interest to the writings of DAPHNE that his predecessors Celdrán and Arroyo did not put, whom the plundering of our patrimony has not occupied nor worried ".
