José López: "The lousy management of PP and PSOE personnel continue to hamper the safety of the municipality"

A total of 32 firefighters will stop serving during this term

The Fire Department in Cartagena is going through a critical situation since, during this term (2019-23), the retirement of 32 members will arrive, which would make it impossible to offer the service currently provided.

MC warns of this situation that can be aggravated at any time since of the 32 firefighters who will retire during these next four years, 28 have already turned 55 and can request, when they wish, move to second activity, what it would cause that neither ordinary shifts could be covered.

The spokesman of the municipal group MC Cartagena, José López, has denounced that "the lousy management of PP and PSOE personnel continue to undermine the safety of the municipality", explaining that "the PP, with Esperanza Nieto and José Serrano as direct responsible, left the depleted and aged staff; the arrival of MC launched the public employment offers in Police and Fire, while Castejón has boycotted them for two years. "

Given this situation, "the result is uncertainty in security, and an anti-natural pact that has rewarded Cartagena with a government of losers that brings together the worst managers," said the mayor.

Therefore, he has advanced that "as we do not believe that 'the lash' dares to doubt the need for these services, we will demand in the next plenary that the call for oppositions for the 15 fire places that we approve in the Offer be promoted. of Public Employment of 2017, and that 30 new positions be included in the one of 2020 ".

José López has stated that "these are actions that should be planned, but they continue with their vacations as a minister and their wars, which is what Arroyo calls his joint government action that they used to call stable."

As a counterpoint to the bad management of PP and PSOE is the work of MC since, as López recalled, "the only certainty that exists is that it was our training who approved the public employment offers for new positions and promotions, approved the level rise of 84 firefighters and 14 fire brigades to level C1 and now it is who alerts that the service is compromised. "

"They will continue to believe that a photo and a headline cover everything, but they are playing with fire," said the Cartagener leader.

To the lack of personnel other deficiencies are added as the lack of response to repair the machine to clean sleeves that has been broken for more than a year while an important amount of money has been invested in a boat of doubtful utility.

In addition, 70% of the workforce exceeds the age of 50 years.
