Cartagena, Tuesday, February 12.

Citizens will take to the debate of the next ordinary plenary the breaches of the Port Authority of Cartagena (APC) and the Ministry of Defense to increase security on the road linking Navantia and the Christmas Lighthouse and the silence surrounding the plan of actions of Responsibility Corporate Social where City Council and APC were working since 2017 for the development of the Santa Lucía neighborhood.

The orange formation has today denounced the breach of the promise of the Port Authority to create a bike and pedestrian lane on the round trip to the Christmas Lighthouse.

The orange formation recalls that in August 2017, the president of the APC, Antonio Sevilla, announced that the talks with the Ministry of Defense, which owns part of the land, were "very advanced", as reported by the newspaper La Verdad;

He even explained that it would act on the section between the coal dock and the entrance to the Navantia shipyard.

Citizens will demand the support of the Plenary to urge the Port Authority to give explanations and explain why there has been no progress in this project, "if the Ministry of Defense has changed its position after the entry of Pedro Sánchez to the State Government we want to know", indicates Manuel Padín.

As today's newspaper La Opinion reports, the MoviliCT group has warned of very dangerous stretches for cyclists and pedestrians, has denounced the lack of a shoulder and road signs and has assured that the risk of accidents is very high, "if the Government of MC and PSOE had been put to work, in September 2017, in the execution of our plenary agreement and would be drafted a road safety plan, we would have accelerated the conversations with the other administrations involved and we would have advanced in the elimination of the multiple black spots that our municipality has, "says Padín.

And Santa Lucia?

In addition, the orange training recriminates that one year has passed since the selected projects of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) were announced for the renovation and enhancement of spaces in the Santa Lucía neighborhood.

The ideas of this project, sponsored by the City of Cartagena and the Port Authority, included the promotion of socio-cultural programming, the revaluation of cultural heritage, the improvement of environmental quality, decoration and rehabilitation of different areas of the neighborhood, or specific plans to strengthen the neighborhood connections with the rest of the city.

"The neighbors, especially those who get involved in the promises and present projects to recover their neighborhoods, do not deserve silence, indifference, or that changes in the Government of Spain and in high public offices mess up plans and strategies which was aimed at increasing road safety between Navantia and the Christmas Lighthouse or these plans for the development and progress of the Santa Lucia neighborhood, "said Cs Cartagena spokesman Manuel Padín, who reports that in the next Plenary will ask for explanations for this plan.

"I still remember the words of the former president of the APC when he said that these actions would be carried out mainly because the neighborhood of Santa Lucia was part of the port soul, a year later nothing is said and nothing is done, and I think that if they do not take steps towards later the plans end up forgotten and withered, "says Padin who recalls that initiatives to improve the quality of life are framed in the International Chair of Corporate Social Responsibility APC-UCAM that promotes the development of CSR strategies among companies, customers and administrations public.
