Cartagena, Tuesday, March 19 -.
After knowing that the municipal government of the PSOE has formalized its refusal to perform the simplified environmental assessment of the Transitory Rules, the spokesman for Citizens in Cartagena, Manuel Padín, reported that his Municipal Group requested in November 2018 a report to legal services Municipalities so that the scope of competence in matters of environmental assessment in the context of transitory regulations is precisely specified, "is not a whimsical political decision, it is a technical and legal competence, it is not debatable, questionable or diffuse, it is something regulated ", says the spokesman for Citizens in Cartagena, Manuel Padín, who has referred to art.
85 of Law 4/2009, of May 14, modified by Law 10/2018, of November 9, which in its 'a' and 'e' points express: that in spite of the fact that in general any project submitted to the autonomic authorization will be the Ministry who has the status of a substantive body for the purposes of environmental assessment, if the municipality in which the project object is located has a population greater than 50,000 inhabitants will be the municipality.
"Nothing has done so much damage to the urban development of Cartagena as the chronic and selfish and catheta inability of PP and PSOE to coordinate their work from different administrations for the general interest," said Manuel Padin who has vowed to fight for it to convene a new Technical Board where the latest revision of the Standards is analyzed jointly and clarifies who is responsible for carrying out the simplified strategic environmental assessment, and it is determined without doubt which issues can be resolved by the Transitory Regulations that can not resolve an action of the City Council through the specific modification, "we will demand it through a motion in the next ordinary Plenary to force its convocation by mandate of the majority, that is, we want to force the regional PP and the local PSOE to sit down again in a table to close this shameful soap opera of the two-party system that has done so much damage and
town planning of the municipality ".
"Either they do that or they will continue to communicate through emails and press headlines," the spokesperson for Cs fears.
What will the Standards do for Cartagena?
For Citizens, after the varapalo of the Legal Council, the "political surrealism of useless bipartisanship" has continued to outrage the citizens of Cartagena, "on the one hand we have the Ministry of Development that ensures that the Transitory Rules will favor the construction of 3,000 homes, the opening of shops and activity in rural areas, among other issues, while the socialist government through the mayor came to say that the rules "do not serve practically anything." "Common sense suggests that the truth is between the unbridled optimism of the PP and chronic pessimism of the PSOE, "says Padin.
The spokesman for the liberal training states that "the PP generated the urban blockade with the PGOU failed, promised to resolve the situation with a failed express review, and promised deadlines and quick solutions with a temporary rules failed, but despite" so much fudge PP that has cost us millions of euros, the responsibility now is still to think that we will be without General Plan a few more years, and that if these Rules are going to allow a relief, however minimal, we should take them forward. "
Warning to the PSOE on the progress of the General Plan
The term of citizen participation for the new General Plan of Urban Planning ended two weeks ago.
Once the proposals are collected, from April 1 the local government should present the PGOU in the municipal plenary session to try to validate it, after which a period of exposure to the public of one month will be established, "I remind the PSOE that governs Cartagena in an absolute minority and should gather all the municipal groups together with the team that has prepared the Advance of the PGOU to account for the work done, listen to the position of the political groups and gain the confidence of a plenary majority that allows it to pass the cut without setbacks and if it is in the Table of the General Plan much better ", has warned the local spokesman of Cs.
It is, for Manuel Padín, an obvious warning, but "unfortunately we have many examples of decisions that the PSOE has wanted to execute without anyone, as if they believed that they govern with an absolute majority.
