"Neither of the two positions proposed is reasonable: one denies and betrays the historical institutional declaration, the other embarks on a path to nowhere that can condemn us to ostracism;
we are in time to reach a consensus, we are in time to modify the proposal of the Council so that it guarantees the integral burial, we are in time to modify the Agreement so that it is less harmful for the municipal coffers ", maintains Manuel Padín
Citizens have decided to abstain in the extraordinary session of the Plenary session in which the ratification of the plenary agreement of June 7, 2018, contained in the institutional declaration on the "Arrival of High Speed ​​and its integration in the municipality", and the revocation of the agreement reached by the Board of Directors of the High Speed ​​Cartagena Society on February 22, 2019. The proposal has been rejected with the vote against PP and PSOE, the photo in favor of MC and Podemos, and the abstention Cs .
The abstention is a declaration of intentions for the liberal formation that rejects as harmful to join the argument of the two political blocs, the bipartisan, formed by PP and PSOE, and the populist block, of MC and Podemos, "the abstention does not mean no to have an opinion, means that the world is not white or black, red or blue, there are more positions and in our opinion, much more sensible, "says Padín.
Cs believes that the Cartagena Alta Velocidad socialist agreement does not comply with the will or the spirit of the institutional declaration of June 7;
fundamentally for two reasons: the second phase of the burial is not guaranteed and the percentage with which the City Council will participate in the investments is 25 percent, an unaffordable amount for a Town Hall mortgaged for the millionaire sentences that we owe the Popular Party of Cartagena "
"We can not blindly support a socialist government that promised participation and consensus but has not been able to convene the technical table of the AVE, has not offered a meeting with the technicians of the Ministry and of Adif as we requested repeatedly and has generated a social fracture with unforeseeable consequences ", defended Manuel Padín in his speech reminiscent of the PSOE that has done the opposite," has established almost clandestine sectoral meetings, has taken unilateral decisions, and has hidden information of a vital technical and economic nature what it limits the ability to take a clear and consistent political position. "
On the other hand, the liberal spokesman has explained why he can not support the thesis of Podemos and MC, "they propose to revoke a decision even though that may mean the expiration of the Declaration of Environmental Impact and a sine die delay for modernization of our rail system;
In addition, it includes falsehoods that we can not admit as the agreement of February 22 is contrary to the development of the ZAL of Los Camachos;
nor is it true, nor will it happen. "
The position of Cs
The position of Citizens is the only one that has remained firm, "respect for the institutional declaration, but with guarantees, to follow a broader technical criterion with all the social, economic variables, and reach the maximum possible social consensus;
"None of the two positions that the other parties have raised today is responsible or fair;
one denies and betrays a historical institutional declaration, and the other embarks on a path to nowhere that can condemn us to ostracism, "says Padín, who understands that" we have time to reach a consensus, we have time to modify the proposal of the Council to that the integral burial is guaranteed, we are in time to modify the Convention so that it is less harmful for the municipal coffers, that is, we have time to do things well, but I am afraid that if the arrival of the AVE depends on populism and bipartisanship, Cartagena can lose all hope for a better future. "
Two harmful policies
"This extraordinary plenary session is another circus but it does serve something: to reveal two political styles that Ciudadanos wants to fight at all costs," explains Padín who says that one is "populism with a party like Podemos that still does not know if he wants to or not the AVE, not even what it is for, and with MC, the local populism that wants to annex Andalusia, and one day publicly defends the arrival of the AVE on the surface, and the next day buried, one day proposes a nonviable route rejected by technicians and neighbors of La Union, and the other is drawn from the hat another route.
The other big block, according to Cs, is the bipartisan one, "PP and PSOE, those parties that incapable to be understood by the good of Cartagena with decades of lies, broken promises and eternal mutual accusations;
that if we were going to eat the grapes in Madrid, that if buried, that if in surface, that if the western variant ... ".
For the Liberal spokesman, "what these formations have done during the last decades is to tease the Cartagena people to let the railway infrastructures fall to pieces for the medium distance and the neighborhoods.
And today they had an unbeatable opportunity to apologize to the people of Cartagena who of course have missed ".
The liberal spokesman concluded his speech stating that "Citizens was born precisely to deal with this populism and that bipartisanship.
And that is what we will do from May.
Meanwhile, these blocks do not count on us for this circus. "
