Tomorrow, the municipal groups with representation in the Consistory, together with the local government, are scheduled to hold a meeting with the Association of Southeast Naturalists (ANSE).

In this context, the spokesman from Cartagena City Council, José López, said that "the proposal to transfer the containers to the Escombreras dock is one of the options that MC proposed in the forum of participation of the new General Plan of Ordination Urbana, both in the workshops in which María José Soler and Jesús Giménez participated, and in the interviews we had as a party ".

This is how the Cartagenerista leader began his intervention, saying that "we consider it essential to free the bay from the transit of goods to recover it and open that area to the sea."

Subsequently, López recalled the request made during the month of April 2017, date in which "as mayor I asked the Ministry of Defense the cession to the City Council of the beach of Espalmador to generate an urban beach and a chance to join tourism cultural and historical with the offer of sun and beach Unfortunately, this file has been ignored by the local government and the rest of administrations.We firmly believe that it is the best option to have an urban beach.

Then he has specified some of the reasons that recommend this location in front of the place that today occupy the containers.

In this sense, he has argued reasons of an "environmental" nature, since this last site would be very difficult to "restore and adapt for that use".

Likewise, it has specified that due to criteria of "port organization, we believe that it is an area where the cruise ship dock could be permanently installed and, with that, 'dehormigonar' the bay, which would surely contribute to the social and commercial revitalization of that area, Santa Lucia, as well as the surroundings of Gisbert Street and adjacent ones ".

"All this", the MC spokesman continued, "without forgetting that it should be the Port Authority that provides the funding and is really committed to its environment, an issue that we will continue to demand from those who avoid giving the support and the investment that it offers. in other more distant places ".

Paralysis of the files of the batteries

To conclude, José López lamented "the revanchism and short-sightedness of the socialist government to paralyze, premeditatedly, the initiatives that we set in motion to recover the Fajardo battery and its subsequent use for tourism or cultural purposes." The same paralysis suffers the file for the transfer of the batteries of Santa Florentina, Ana Acasamatada and Santa Ana to promote there the headquarters of the Campus of International Excellence 'Mare Nostrum', supervised by the Polytechnic University of Cartagena and the University of Murcia ".

At this point, the pressures exerted by the regional government on the universities to prevent the Campus from being installed in these batteries are objectionable.

"Also regarding the second, the Government itself has certified us that nothing has been done, the evidence of what we already knew, its policy is based on revenge, betrayal and contempt for the needs and opportunities of progress for the neighbors and the municipality, "he concluded.
