The local government (PSOE) has announced that it will sanction the catering establishments that celebrate next weekend the Cruces de Mayo.

For its part, the association that brings together the hospitality sector in the region, HOSTECAR, finds it very difficult to work in these conditions and everything seems to indicate that there will be no celebration.

The president of MC Cartagena and number two on his municipal list, Jesús Giménez, said that "the May Cruces boycott is one more example of the crusade that Castejón has against the hospitality industry. regulation and the search for balance between rest and a living city ".

"We are convinced that it does not happen and can not prevent small-scale concerts, prohibit the May Crossings and pursue a sector that generates employment and wealth," he said.

Giménez has recalled that "they are a great attraction for visitors since they became popular in the last decade, but maintained for 40 years by the Brotherhoods of Holy Week." And everything indicates that the local government does not like and intends not to celebrate This is the only way to explain the current situation or not to include them in the calendar of festivities of his proposed noise ordinance.

The Cartagena spokesman explained that "of course the City must participate, as we did in 2017 with a Consistorial Cross that extolled our traditions and customs and that should be the line of demand against the sector, regulate and improve, not veto".

Jesús Giménez concluded by saying that "we trust that sanity prevails and that these days of celebration are not lost".

And he announced that "we do believe in Cartagena as a tourist municipality and that is why next autumn we will launch, together with HOSTECAR, another of our initiatives approved in the plenary session and paralyzed by the PSOE, such as the gastronomic fair of Campo de Cartagena, a more opportunity to divulge what is ours and attract visitors ".
