Cartagena, Sunday, March 3.

After knowing the result of the liquidations of the years 2015, 2016 and 2017, approved by the Government Board, following the opinion of the municipal technicians, the spokesperson for Citizens in Cartagena, Manuel Padín, has requested that the Commission of Follow-up of the Water Contract so that the opposition groups can analyze the data, clarify their doubts, and propose the path to follow from now on, "After the painful management of MC that delayed the absurd and the foolish the investments for modernize our supply and sanitation network, the PSOE decides to approve the liquidations and publicly present the results without conveying the commission that must control the contract, another superb contempt towards municipal control tools, "said the spokesman of the liberal party.

Citizens will request in the Follow-up Commission that the choice of works be made exclusively under technical criteria and for reasons of priority, "we do not want letters of pseudo-political magicians to the populist style of MC, but a professional list made by the municipal experts and the dealership who know better than anyone the multiple needs of our water network ", explained Manuel Padín who will also demand that the works be awarded through public tender," although this is not clearly imposed in the contract, during a meeting held with the leaders of Hidrogea to try to unblock the conflict that they maintained with MC, they assured that they would not have any problem in which these free competition processes were carried out to start up the main works to be undertaken ".

In addition, the commission will ask if a percentage of this surplus will serve to amortize the debt, or to further reduce the receipt of water to Cartagena and clarify whether after bidding projects at the contracting table may or may not concur with companies related to the business matrix of Hidrogea, Grupo Agbar-Suez

Manuel Padín recalls in article 6 of the specifications of the water contract, states that the works of expansion and renewal of the infrastructures of the services are of exclusive municipal competence, and that the municipal technicians will draft the projects, which will be approved by the competent municipal body and the execution will be carried out in any of the ways provided by current legislation.

In addition, both entities may supervise the development of the work.

The farce of MC

The motion that MC took forward in the June 2018 plenary session with which he arrogated the knowledge of the main needs in our water network is in Manuel Padín's opinion, "the best example of a 'false agreement', that is, a motion with an improvised list of needs without reaching a consensus with the company and the City Council's technicians, without budgeting the work or analyzing the area of ​​competence is a useless agreement that has no objective other than to make them believe that they are the promoters of those works when they have been just the opposite, the only ones guilty of the blockade ".

"This agreement is a political farce, one more of which is spent MC, no one is fooled, without technical criteria and without the concessionaire is useless, that's why all groups abstained except the populists of Podemos, because It's serious, it was only populist propaganda, "says Manuel Padín.
