This morning, the councilman of MC Cartagena, Ricardo Segado, has valued the news published in a local media reporting the negotiation that the local government has maintained with the company that will finally offer the service of chairs during the next Holy Week.
The agreement, extremely harmful to the municipal coffers, will cause the Consistory stop receiving this year another 25,000 euros of the concept of canon, 70,000 euros if we add the three years in which the Socialist Executive has intervened (2018, 2019 and 2020).
Segado began his speech by lamenting that "as we announced ten days ago, the Socialist City Hall has done it again." This morning we have eaten breakfast with the consummation of what MC has already denounced Ana Belén Castejón has once again awarded directly the management of the Holy Week chairs service, avoiding transparency and participation and acting in a socialist way, dedazo and authoritarianism ".
Then, the mayor of Cartagena said that "neighbors should know that, thanks to the mayor, the City will stop entering 70,000 euros, as the agreement of Castejón with the company expects to receive in three years, the previous one, this and next, what we should have received in two. "
70,000 euros lost
At this point, it is worth clarifying that, last year, the direct award of the service occurred, accepting 45,000 euros in fee, compared to 70,000 euros.
The City Council had to compensate the Board of Cofradías, the beneficiary of this amount, contributing the other 25,000 euros of the contract.
For this year, the company will contribute 45,000 euros, while in 2020, with the extension foreseen in the agreement, it will contribute 50,000 euros.
This fact has been highlighted by the councilor of MC, clarifying that "the service is mortgaged for next year, it has given the go-ahead to extend the contract, so it has ensured that after leaving the local government, which will occur in a few days, the management is already committed. "
Subsequently, Ricardo Segado said that "this is how Castejón's two years are summarized: Dedazo, authoritarianism, contempt for transparency and a government in the face of" elected "companies and with their backs to their neighbors. Fifty days will only be a bad memory, since MC, as we have already done from the Government, we will work to guarantee a more efficient management of the chairs, in collaboration and coordination with Hostecar and the Board of Cofradias ".
The quality of the service and spaces enabled for people with disabilities
Finally, the Cartagena leader has wished that, during this year, "the numerous complaints of the past in relation to the management of the service are not repeated." We hope that it does not generate the controversy of 2018 and that they are respected and expanded, if possible. , spaces enabled for people with disabilities, the measure that we implemented during the Mayor's Office of MC ".
