The spokesman for Citizens in Cartagena, Manuel Padín, announced on October 15, 2018 that his Municipal Group had decided to abandon all open investigation committees in the City of Cartagena, "due to the blockade of all and constitute a scam to Cartagena as they are raised at this moment, we were criticized by other political groups but time has proved us right ".
Cs said half a year ago that it would not be presented to any convocation if before the government did not close the inoperative, established a road map and offered the necessary tools for its effective development, "we have not even been able to fulfill the threat because since then it has not been convened none and it does not make much sense to do so less than two months before the elections ".
The municipal spokesman of Citizens has announced that his group will take advantage of the reform of the operating regulations of the Plenary to move forward a regulation of the commissions of investigation, a figure that does not currently exist as such.
"so as not to repeat the ridicule we have done in the last four years and to show the Cartagena people that these oversight bodies can be useful, but for that we must regulate them properly".
Cs wants to clearly define its purpose, periodicity and date of completion, the investigations will refer exclusively to issues that are municipal competence and are not judicialized, will increase the public nature of these, may be retransmitted by telematic means;
with the liberal party, the presidency will not automatically fall to the mayor nor will his delegation be the decision of the government team, the conclusions may be amended and include individual votes.
To avoid inaction, Cs will include a maximum period of constitution from the approval and will limit the number of bodies that can remain open simultaneously to three, "this way we gain operability, we do not saturate public employees and we do not repeat the nonsense of this legislature in which we have come to have nine useless commissions ", defends the spokesman of Cs.
"If we pull the newspaper library and do the healthy exercise of reviewing all the headlines that have generated these commissions, all the promises and denunciations that have been made in this context, we will realize the magnitude of the political nonsense, the municipal thymus and the immense loss of time that have involved public officials, those appearing, journalists, and the people of Cartagena who have followed them with a decreasing interest, "said the spokesman of the Liberal party.
The failure of the municipal investigation commissions is only comparable to what happened in the Regional Assembly, "of the five that were constituted only one has been closed in conditions, precisely the one that presided over Cs for the desalination of Escombreras, the rest, of the Auditorium of Puerto Lumbreras, Corvera Airport, Public Contracting / Grants and Murciano Health Service, nothing is known.
