Padín: "Citizens have been born to fight the territorial injustice that Cartagena suffers after decades of bipartisanship" (05/05/2019)

Ciudadanos will focus its campaign on explaining five messages that it considers priorities: territorial justice, efficiency in the maintenance of public services, the development of the main sectoral strategic plans that will be drafted by collectives and independent and specialized Cartagena entities together with experts of recognized prestige, environmental recovery, especially of the contaminated surface, and a regulatory revolution to create and update the regulations and ordinances (many with 30 years old) linked to public order, cleaning, waste, irregular occupation, safety of children's areas, rural roads , or sustainable mobility.

These five axes are included in the Citizens for Cartagena electoral program, "a strategic document with more than 200 proposals resulting from the conclusions obtained after hundreds of sectoral meetings held with the main entities and collectives from Cartagena throughout the legislature, and the work of hundreds of professionals and specialists who have voluntarily put their talent, their enthusiasm and thousands of hours to the services of a liberal, modern, and reformist project for Cartagena ", said today the candidate of Citizens to the mayor of Cartagena, Manuel Padín , in the act of presenting the municipal list that will attend the elections on May 26 and has taken place in the Plaza de Heroes de Cavite.

The candidate for mayor of Cartagena, Manuel Padín, has announced that "he is surrounded by a winning team that is called to make history and to star in the beginning of a new era for the municipality, a team full of ambition, talent, youth and regeneration" .

For Manuel Padín, "the main mission of a good leader is to find new leaders, be surrounded by talent, people better than me, and that is what I have done, form a competitive team that has commitment, values, courage and talent".

"Citizens is a party that has been born to break boundaries against those who come to build walls with intransigent and exclusionary populism or conservative views, Cartagena is not doomed to choose between a two-party system that blocks everything that touches, such as the arrival of ZAL, El Gorguel, the AVE, or the exclusive populisms, such as the localist, the ultraconservative or the communist, the Cartagena have a liberal project open to civil society that is guided by meritocracy, talent and equality and not by the dedazos and sectarianism, "said Manuel Padín.

Manuel Padín highlights territorial justice

"The first thing is to return to Cartagena the dignity lost after too many years of centralist bipartisanship, to reduce the excessive concentration of regional institutions in a single point;

in Citizens we bet on an efficiency understood as the centralization of regional management, but territorially decentralized, "explained the candidate for mayor of Cs," that's why our municipal program is perfectly connected to the regional program in which it has included the transfer of the Ministry of Tourism to the port city, start the feasibility studies for the Customs, the delegation of Costas, among other public institutions to move to Cartagena, "he announced.

32 million euros less each year for Cartagena

On regional financing, Manuel Padín recalled that Ciudadanos has been the only party that has not folded to the territorial privileges at the national level, "nor will we consent to this Region;

We want a fair distribution, not only among the municipalities that make up the Community, but also among all the councils and neighborhoods that make up our municipality.

And that is not done screaming that Spain steals from us, Murcia steals from us, or Cartagena steals from us.

It is done working from the public administrations ", Padín explained that he considers that" the key at the regional level is in the Law of Local Financing;

It has to be a reality in the coming months.

And we are working very hard so that this distribution is fair with a municipality mistreated by decades of indifference and political submission and that it receives 32 million euros less than what corresponds to it by population ".

As for municipal financing, Ciudadanos says that PP, PSOE and MC have discriminated against neighborhoods and councils for years, and now suffer a brutal deficit in infrastructures and services and have converted their inhabitants into second-rate Cartagena, "Until now, the City Council has dedicated just over 5.4 percent of its budget to neighborhoods and councils while any other large municipality reserves 20 percent, "an unacceptable territorial injustice when the majority of the population lives outside the center."

Amoraga and Plitt, number 2 and 3 of Citizens

For its part, the number 2 candidate of Citizens, Maria Amoraga, has highlighted the "brutal regulatory deficit that Cartagena suffers and without that base management is impossible;

there are no legal frameworks to provide tools for our Local Police and Civil Protection to control vandalism, irregular occupation, or attacks against the environment;

neither do we have a protocol to combat the aging of our real estate park, or rules that guarantee the safety and enjoyment of our public spaces, especially children's areas. "

The number three of Cartagena Cs, Javier Plitt, has indicated that "one of the objectives we have set is to value the city and the municipality through the strategic plans that this municipality has pending since 2015 and even for more than 20 years, we need a road map, with financial planning so that they are not another toast to the sun, that overcome short-termism and political caprice and propose a strategy to conquer what we should be in 5 or 10 years. "

Plitt makes clear that "Citizens will not reduce the debate and the drafting of strategies to the councilor of the turn, but will open the construction and design of the plan to civil society, to experts, to specialized groups."
