Podemos has repeatedly demanded, and before the municipal plenary session, the commissioning of the Research Commission of the management of La Mar de Músicas from 2012 to 2016, without obtaining a response from the Municipal Government.

"To end with all the doubts regarding the management of the festivals of the city, you have to put black on white, and investigate all the bills, and then transfer to the citizenship how everyone's money is used".

Before the complaint of the PP on the "possible irregularity" of the minor contracts that have been made from the Department of Culture, and more specifically since 2016, for the supervision of the production of the four festivals;

The Sea of ​​Music, Much More May, Festival of Folk and Jazz Festival, by a music producer, We can question the PP their claims, mainly because this music producer has been working "side by side" with the City Council, and more specifically with the Department of Culture since 1999, being governing the PP itself.

We can highlight that the music producer José Antonio Peña, was hired by the PP, in the same way as the PSOE and MC in the current term, through minor contracts, perfectly legal, and endorsed at all times by the municipal intervention and the Public Procurement Advisory Board.

Specifically, they continue to report from the training purple, he was hired for Director Cartagena Folk (1999, 2000 and 2001), Coordinator Folk Injuve Cartagena (2002, 2003 and 2004), Production and coordination concert 25 Anniversary Informajoven - Orishas (2003), Organizing Committee Much More May in the 10 editions, Mestizos Festival Coordinator (2006, 2007 and 2008), Musical Program Coordinator of the Night of the Museums (2010 and 2011), Coordinator Mucha Más Música (2009 and 2010).

In all those years the mayor was Pilar Barreiro and governed the PP in the City of Cartagena.

"We do not understand how you can question from the PP a performance they had been developing year after year for decades.

Perhaps the PP wants to hide under these informative manipulations, what really worries him, and is that during the last legislature in which they had the Government of the municipality, the management of festivals in Cartagena was handed over to private hands, the company Sonora , which received more than 2 million euros from 2012 to 2015, 500,000 euros per year, when this music producer, now questioned by the PP, did so for less than 175,000 euros in 2016. "Pilar Marcos, spokesperson has declared of CTSSP and candidate for mayor.

We can affirm that in order to put an end to these doubts about the possible irregularity in the contracts related to the management of the city's festivals, the City Council should make a public announcement to cover the position of a "municipal cultural manager", a proposal that will be transferred to its electoral program of the coalition United We can IU-V Equo.

In this way everything would be managed from the City Council itself without the need to resort to private companies or independent managers.
