Today, the extraordinary plenary session has been held at the Town Hall for the knowledge of the Corporation of the status of unassigned councilors of Ana Belén Castejón, Juan Pedro Torralba, María Irene Ruiz, Alejandra Gutiérrez, David Martínez and Mercedes García, transfugas of the PSOE.
It should be remembered that the PSOE confirmed, on the 4th of this month, the final expulsion of Ana Belén Castejón and the rest of councilors who agreed with PP and Cs behind the regional and national directorates, as well as the local militancy, to avoid that governs the most voted force, MC Cartagena.
On the other hand, few dates ago, on the 17th, the City Council of Cartagena received the official notification of the aforementioned expulsion that made them non-attached councilors without the right to a municipal group, disappearing the Socialist acronym of the City Council.
"A historic and aberrant day"
During his speech at the Plenary, the deputy spokesman of the municipal group MC Cartagena, Jesús Giménez, described the day as "a historic day for sad and different for aberrant."
In this line, he added that "this morning the first transfugible mayor of Cartagena is presented to everyone, thanks to the passivity of the PSOE, but especially because he took the 30 coins of the PP, Cs or whoever they are and found the time to surrender, again, to the concessionaires, to the head entrepreneurs, to the chaos and the bad management ".
Before the null support to the Government of La Trinca, the mayor has shown that "the only explicit support they have received from society is the president of COEC, at the time beneficiary of an unfair subsidy of 2 million euros a year thanks to Pilar Barreiro. "
Castejón's incapacity has left a couple of references: "on December 29, 2017 the last fiscal ordinances of this City Council were approved, with MC in the Government, while on May 16, 2018, with a total of 27 amendments from our training the 2018 budgets could be approved. "
As a result of this mixture of professional insolvency and inaction that characterizes La Trinca, "they have not advanced in constituting the Neighborhood Boards, they have been 4 months and all they have done is throw a coin in the air to decide a tie between PP and PSOE in La Palma ", a decentralization body in which Castejón" being suspended from militancy and sure of his suspension, appointed the members he considered appropriate to represent her, because the PSOE presented another list. And in that we are, waiting for them to give a letter from nature to such abuse. "
Paralyzed Strategic Projects
Jesús Giménez has explained, regarding the strategic and important projects, that "they have already confessed that this legislature will not have AVE, rail connection of the ZAL, City of Justice, opening of the Rosell, decontamination of El Hondón, tolls will follow Almeria and Alicante, and the streets will remain as dirty as the water contract is murky. "
Therefore, "we must be aware that Cartagena lives in an emergency situation. And the only ones who can change the trend, because Mayor José López has shown it and because the Cartagena people know it, we are the Cartagena people themselves, it is MC. The winner of the elections. "
The PP corrupts the City Council and breaches its statutes
The deputy spokesman of MC has condemned that the PP returns to "corrupt this City Council. Because corrupting the system is to maintain a transferable Mayor, convicted of violating the fundamental rights to cast a favorable rate revision to the water service company and, today, imputed. We are not missing anything. "
Then, he has focused on the positioning of the Popular Party, remembering that its Statutes "oblige its members not to maintain governments with transfugations", holding them accountable at the time of the return to a Regime that "has marginalized us and oppressed us for twenty years, in the worst way, with transfuguism. "
López has recalled, then, the subtitle of the anti-transfuguism agreement: "A commitment to respect the will of citizens and political loyalty in local governments."
"A political pathology that had not occurred in Cartagena since the current mayor of the mayor's office made her suffer from the PSOE, a bankruptcy of the political system, a sign that you are not reliable," he added.
"Now, they have set up a strange alliance, La Trinca, El Olivo or whatever they want to call it, to silence Cartagena."
"You," said the mayor, "they want to serve as a parapet to the worst policy, that of the PP, the one that costs lives in Health, the one that assassinates the Mar Menor, which thanks to their contribution will continue treating us as citizens of third in an autonomy of second. "
"To which we must add today the historic title of transfugible mayor, government of transfugues. That is what they bring to the Plenary and what the Cartagena will suffer until 2023," he said.
No group and no rights
During his second intervention, the leader of MC Cartagena has lamented the current situation, which gives refuge to "six transfugees, naked of principles but welcomed by the PP, the formation against which they said to fight."
Later, the deputy spokesman for MC has shelled the situation in which the six former socialists remain.
"They lose collective rights, such as hiring consultants or having a subsidy to their activity, and cease to be a group to become six transfugees and one destination."
After that, the mayor of Cartagena has referred to the transfuge ediles as "those of 3.70%. They no longer have a name, now they are a percentage, representing not those who voted for them but themselves, and that is a Pyrrhic 3, 70% for each one. "
"You have no spokesman because you do not need it, each one speaks for himself and for no one else. It will not help you to join the PP or C's this legislature, nor resurrect dead parties born of transfugues. You will continue to be unassigned", Giménez said.
In addition, the councilor of MC recalled that "they can no longer represent the City Council in organizations as they should not hold positions in the Government or hire workers."
In line with the latter, he announced that "if the modification of the regime of the eventual personnel consists in relocating them to the Mayor's Office, he already knows that he will face us. Because if there is no group there are no group needs. And the rest are already fixed" .
The loneliness of the transfuge
Jesús Giménez has missed that today the president of the PP, Joaquín Segado, has not come to support the transfugas, who "applauded Castejón on June 15 when he became a transfuge", and that is, as explained by the councilor MC, "nobody wants to take the picture with the stinker, and as I said, you already smell like a dead politician."
The mayor wanted to finish by explaining that "hereinafter 3.70 will be the number of the transfuge in Cartagena, as 3% is the number of corruption in Catalonia", also indicating the date of today, October 22, 2019, as the day in which "the usurpation to Cartagena of the armchair occupied by Ana Belén Castejón Hernández was consumed, because nobody voted what is happening".
As indicated by Cartagena, she suffers from a mayor who "first wanted the segregation of Pozo Estrecho, and then betrayed her groupmates to be a candidate, her eventual employees, her government partners, the PSOE and, as a final step, Cartagena ".
Finally, he concluded by highlighting that "the Cartagena do not need more servile politicians, they did not vote for them and their government is a pact to lick the boots of a regional government that oppresses us, so the best thing they could do is stop biting their hand to Cartagena for those 30 coins.
