"The planning decisions of the Cartagena PP up to 2015 have cost us in recent convictions and almost 20.5 million euros that Cartagena will have to pay in installments over the next five years, a money that could have been invested in neighborhoods and county councils, and in the improvement of public services;
this can not happen again, "says the liberal spokesman
Citizens will launch in its first days of government an impartial and independent body and a municipal protocol so that public employees can report cases of corruption and irregularities, "without fear of reprisals, with total protection, security, freedom and anonymity", announced today the spokesman of the liberal party in Cartagena, Manuel Padín.
The Liberal Party also wants companies, suppliers and citizens in general to be equally protected against these possible bad practices in their relationship with the Consistory.
Manuel Padín explained that "during the last years, we have known numerous cases of political corruption in the different levels of the Administration (municipal, regional and national), thanks to the work of the State Security Forces and Corps, and to the judicial investigations and journalistic. "
The spokesman of Cs sets the example of planning decisions of the Cartagena PP until 2015 "have cost us in recent sentences and almost 20.5 million euros that Cartagena will have to pay in installments over the next five years."
"Our protocol against corruption and malpractice will allow officials, businessmen, suppliers, and neighbors to raise the alarm before a dubious decision is made to risk everyone's money," says Padín.
The candidate of Cs to the mayor remembers that the case of the old barracks of the Civil Guard of La Azohía will cost us more than 4.5 million euros thanks to the president of the PP in Cartagena for unduly nullifying a license, "the Government of PSOE and MC had in his hand resolve the conflict with the plaintiffs through a swap of land, or the payment of 1 million euros, but decided to continue appealing to the Supreme Court, and that bad strategy has increased the damage to the public coffers five times".
"The knowledge of many corruption schemes and political decisions more than doubtful has been possible thanks to the courage of public employees, journalists and citizens who have denounced the irregularities that are committed in the work environment in which they carry out their work.
However, the fear of labor reprisals inhibits the will of many of them when it comes to unveiling alleged irregularities, "said the Liberal spokesman who concluded that" something tells me that the candidate of the Popular Party to the mayor's office Cartagena is not going to steal this proposal to put it in their program, in fact I do not think they include a single line to combat local political corruption, nor did they do so at the national level.
