Ciudadanos has announced its intention to launch when it governs a Plan for Inclusion and Social Cohesion in the municipality, as requested by the sector collectives, to ensure the continuity of projects such as the Intercultural Community Intervention (ICI), promoted by Obra Social La Caixa, Cepaim Foundation, City Council, entities and neighbors.
The first step of Cs, forced, will be a diagnostic study that will specify the situation of Cartagena, "obtain an exact knowledge of the new social reality, analyze the needs, shortcomings, and opportunities that we are offering and offering the various groups in the process of integration ", explained the spokesman of Cs, Manuel Padín, who says it is" essential to use analysis tools of proven effectiveness, perhaps through the UPCT, to obtain useful information through secondary sources and associative fabric. "
For Padín, "the ICI project could and should be one of the main foundations of this municipal plan that we propose, specific plans and interventions have been made in neighborhoods, but not a general one with the commitment to renew it annually," Manuel Padín proposes. hopes that this idea, "is shared by all the groups that obtain representation in the Corporation after the next municipal elections and work together, without colors and without flags, for a goal as noble as is to effectively combat inequalities and contribute to development of the most disadvantaged areas of the city. "
Manuel Padín has insisted that this kind of projects are essential but that they should be part of a global political action that includes education or urban regeneration, "everything is a chain, punctual interventions are necessary and create a very productive social inertia but they are not enough if there is not a road map at several levels behind ".
"Everything is connected, if we promote a commercial revitalization plan, we will generate employment and wealth, if we reverse the aging of our real estate park, if we promote the Local Development and Employment Agency, if we build works in the abandoned lots, if we do the Comprehensive Tourism Plan, if we do all that, we will create a growth spiral that will also facilitate the social integration of all migration profiles, "said Manuel Padín.
In this sense, the Liberal spokesman has promised that the plan that will start if it reaches the Government "will have the participation of all municipal areas, of all councils, because this is a challenge, complex, global and multidisciplinary."
Cs describes as "extraordinary" the work that has been done during these four years with community intervention in the Historic District and Sector Station, "although we have missed more participation of the City Council, we know that some municipal technicians who have left the skin, but in a timely manner and sharing this work with many other obligations, I think it is desirable that the next Government of Cartagena facilitate our social workers can lend a hand to projects like this full time and with the utmost dedication.
The project Intercultural Community Intervention, promoted by the Obra Social "la Caixa" in 32 neighborhoods of Spain in collaboration with different administrations and social entities, is an initiative of social action with a preventive orientation and that fosters intercultural relations, favors cohesion social and aims to promote coexistence and community development of their territories.
