Citizens has always had among its priority objectives the comprehensive recovery of the municipal markets of Santa Florentina and Gisbert, "we will launch a plan for the recovery, promotion and modernization of the municipal markets of Cartagena with a realistic investment schedule to three years, because in Ciudadanos we do know that they are a key element in the commercial distribution system of the cities, "says the spokesman and mayoral candidate of the liberal party in Cartagena, Manuel Padín, who says that the economic, cultural, environmental, health reasons and urban planning give these spaces a leading role to generate wealth and employment, promote social coexistence, and belong to the chain of tourist claims, ie;
it is not only a public work but a mandatory public service ".
The liberal spokesman distinguishes, within the plan drawn up, between active markets, such as Santa Florentina, or Cenit, and inactive, such as Gisbert's, "Florentina needs more internal and external reforms than those undertaken so far, improve access, and an attractive list of conditions for the adequacy of the basement in a rotary parking for customers, but the challenge in Gisbert requires shock measures for its urban and commercial rescue ", explains Padín.
"Our plan also involves adapting the exterior façade of Santa Florentina, bidding for vacancies, expanding the commercial offer and include promotion actions, dynamic and cultural events to make it more attractive and competitive," reports the local Citizen spokesman.
For Manuel Padín, "Citizens have proven to be an overwhelming executive force, we can not believe in those who, like the PP, let our food markets die for decades, nor in the parties that have wasted the last four years in discussions sterile and punctual connections like MC and PSOE ".
Project for the Gisbert Market
Citizens has informed that there is already the project of adaptation and improvement of the Gisbert Market "thanks to an agreement promoted by Cs in March 2017, more than 7,000 euros were given to a specialized company to write a project that marks the future of the market since not only fix the constructive solutions to solve the problem of humidity, but proposes a redistribution of spaces to improve accessibility and compatibility of commercial use with others such as those related to the culinary, teaching or recreational, "said Manuel Padín.
Cs has announced that one of its first tasks will be to tender the execution of this project that "includes opening gaps to connect the inside and outside of the wall that faces Gisbert Street, stipulations to guarantee the professionalism of the new owners. and the variety of the stalls, facilitate parking, and the integration of this area in the tourist offer of the municipality with a weekly market;
another political idea that recently has plagiarized us as much MC as PP ", recriminates Padín.
Market in Gisbert
Another point of the proposal of Citizens in 2017 and that will be implemented when it reaches the Government is to take advantage of the transit factor of national and international visitors and include the market and its surroundings in the tourist offer of the municipality, "we must dream with ambition and realism, as we said in 2017, it is not madness to close Gisbert street on weekends to set up an antique and art market, of local or Mediterranean crafts, this is already being done in Barcelona, ​​Valencia, Avilés, Pontevedra or Cádiz and in many other Spanish cities, a weekly event that attracts tourists. "
The orange training wants to make clear that these shock plans can and should be incorporated into the Municipal Council of Commerce to be nuanced by the groups that are represented there.
