This morning, the councilman and head of Sports MC, Ricardo Segado, has appeared, in the press room of the Palace Hall, to explain the details of a new episode of budgetary discrimination of the CARM with Cartagena, perpetrated on this occasion by the Ministry of Education, plagiarizing the project 'Chess in the classroom as an educational tool', developed by the Chess Lapuerta CD, to impart it in the centers of the Region.
The mayor, who has appeared with Abel Ojaos and José Lara, representatives of the club, was interested in these details last week during a meeting in which he could see firsthand the project and its data.
In this sense, Segado has started by explaining that the Ajedrez Lapuerta CD, always willing to work and collaborate with public administrations, "sent this project, regionally pioneered, to the Ministry headed by Adela Martínez-Cachá. to seek the collaboration of the promoters of the project, from the sports entity have found a boycott that transcends the gall and absolute contempt for Cartagena.
Cartagena, outside of the twenty-five regional centers chosen
Deepening in this question, the Cartagena councilor recalled that the Ministry of Education provided a budget to promote the program in its Budget of 2018. "Then plagiarized the Cartagena project to be an external company of Murcia which implanted in twenty-five centers and between two thousand students of the Region, coincidentally none of them from Cartagena ... For greater derision, to find the first school of our municipality we have to go up to the eighth place on the waiting list ".
In this way, Ricardo Segado has said, "not only have they copied the program and its name, but they have also pushed it aside, a barbarity that we can not allow".
Thus, the head of Sports MC has reported that "it is one more of the many robberies perpetrated to our city from the regional government, this time, in addition, they have done so taking advantage of the good will and predisposition of the Chess Lapuerta CD , who has always worked tirelessly with hardly any help. "
In this way, Segado has considered that "they have deceived us all again and they have laughed at the work of some restless Cartagena for this sport and for innovating in the classroom".
Meanwhile, the program 'Chess in the classrooms as an educational tool' will continue to be carried out by the club with the limited resources they have in the centers of Cartagena wishing to participate.
"For this, from MC we will continue working hand in hand so that they can meet their objectives and their pedagogical and sports work is recognized throughout the Region", concluded Ricardo Segado.
"Scammed" by the CARM
On the other hand, the representatives of the club, Abel Ojaos and José Lara, have claimed to feel "scammed by the Autonomous Community."
They have also ensured that Cartagena is, and in particular the Ajedrez Lapuerta CD, the city with the most players and with the best results, contributes to the regional and national championships.
In conclusion, they have highlighted the lack of experience and project of the company to which the task has been assigned.
All this, in counterpoint with the absence of aid with which his club counts "after so many years of work and being pioneers in this sport in the Region".
