This morning, the day when the former member of the regional government, Yolanda Muñoz, takes office as president of the Port Authority, the newspaper 'La Verdad' echoes the positioning of the business groups with the greatest representation in Cartagena and Comarca denouncing the paralysis and "low interest" demonstrated by the regional Executive for the area of ​​logistics activities (ZAL) of Los Camachos.
And it is that, last Friday, after the first meeting held with the president of the CARM, Fernando López Miras, Muñoz was 'off the hook' by linking the ZAL to the hypothetical construction of the macro port of El Gorguel, thus adding a new and confusing chapter to the political decision to obstruct the infrastructure of Los Camachos to 'impose' a logistics area in Corvera.
Thus, the spokesman of the municipal group MC Cartagena, José López, recalled that "with their criticisms," the businessmen of Cartagena and the region "have endorsed the public complaint we made last week. The regional government voluntarily paralyzes the ZAL of Los Camachos until it becomes an impossible and free way to the logistics area of ​​Corvera. "
He has then lamented "the regional strategy of linking it directly and exclusively to the El Gorguel container dock, which serves as an excuse to continue with the asphyxiation plan in Cartagena."
Report that supports the need for Los Camachos infrastructure
Subsequently, López has reasoned that, in 2003, the independent report of the consultancy firm 'Deloitte' confirmed "the need and viability of the Los Camachos ZAL for the activity of our port. The El Gorguel dock is a 2006 project, which regardless of whether it goes ahead or not, it has nothing to do with the real need of the logistics area of ​​Los Camachos. "
The cartagenerista leader has clarified that "this dock (El Gorguel) would have its own important logistical needs, but the ZAL of Los Camachos is for yesterday. That is why businessmen cry out today and MC has not stopped doing it."
The background of the new presidency and the complacent local government
The spokesman for MC has continued his argument referring to the new president of the Port Authority, Yolanda Muñoz, "known in Cartagena for his phobia towards our region. It seems determined to carry out orders and dedicate its efforts to strangle something else to the Cartagena. with an obituary under the arm, that of the ZAL ".
"And what is the position of the local government in all this?" López has asked.
"Do not disturb their superiors. Arroyo and Castejón go to the councils, their diets are guaranteed, they are silent and they consent what the businessmen have to denounce today: the Murcian regime dictates political decisions to fulminate Cartagena and its Region."
"They will not find complacency or good words in MC, but firm and clear opposition against a political system that plunges our port, our municipality and the entire Region to absorb wealth and make us lose our future," he concluded.
