José López: "We have put Cartagena on the agenda. Now that they comply with the execution"

This morning, the spokesman of the municipal group MC Cartagena, José López, has made a detailed assessment of the draft regional budget of 2020 that the regional executive will send to the Assembly for final approval in a debate that will take place during the month of March .

López has been accompanied by the graduate in Business Administration and Management from the Polytechnic University of Cartagena, Pablo Pérez, who has technically broken down the main lines of the document.

Pérez, master in Management and Management of Tourism Companies and Institutions, has extensive experience in the empirical and territorialized analysis of institutional budgets.

López has begun by stating that what is analyzed today "are the same fictitious and insufficient budgets for Cartagena and its Region that sell us every year as the panacea."

Then, it has been guided by the technical criteria to confirm that it is "fallacious budgets because, in advance, it is known that they will not be able to meet due to lack of income, to which they must join their inability to manage."

MC amendments to regional budgets

In contrast to this circumstance, repeated over time, MC Cartagena will present its proposals by registration, so that they can be assumed as amendments, to the five political forces represented in the Regional Assembly so that they correct the systematic forgetfulness they dedicate to Cartagena and Your Region

Subsequently, the spokesman of MC Cartagena has broken down the project of regional budgets, but not before remembering that "the policies we denounce today are the cause of having doubled in only six years the regional debt, which has already passed the barrier of ten thousand millions".

Less investment for education, the same and insufficient for roads

In education, the Cartagenerist leader has stressed that the total budget falls, although the most worrying fact is that, between 2016 and 2019, "they only executed one million euros when they announced more than twelve."

As specific cases, the Aljorra school, the 'Hespérides' Integrated Vocational Training Center, or the completion of the extension in La Palma of the Santa Florentina school are forgotten.

For its part, the installation of air conditioning will remain in Murcia (600,000 euros), while "asbestos we are still waiting to know the reality, because the budget could not be defined".

With regard to the investment in roads, the budget for the previous year is maintained in general terms but the same problem, the lack of execution, underlies the same problem.

In addition, "an awarded work, the reform of the Torreciega bridge, has disappeared from the budget, and the Viña del Mar roundabout is maintained (because they have not been done)."

He has continued his argument detailing the list of works not contemplated.

Thus, another year the bike lane linking Cartagena and La Unión remains pending;

the accesses to the west zone;

actions to increase security on the F-36, F-35, E-21 and F-15;

the ring road from La Aljorra to Sabic, or the improvement of the sign on E-16, from La Aljorra to Cuesta Blanca.

After listing them, López has lamented the revenge character of these 'forgetfulness', joint claims of neighbors and MC Cartagena.

Cartagena World Heritage, to the oblivion drawer

In relation to the investment forecast for equity, the Cartagena manager stressed that although "we are the great 'bet' of the Region, with Cartagena World Heritage, they have not allocated a single euro to this project."

An investment that can be defined as 'window dressing' as most of the items will go "to pay the loan of the Roman Theater, make the project of the Central Cinema (not spent last year) and fix a part of the House of Child (the school, so the game would have to come from Education and not from Heritage). "López has highlighted the absence of investments for" the Amphitheater; the Cathedral of Cartagena; the MURAM, of which we request the application of what was committed last year to, among others, exhibit Marifi Plazas collections, which we are very close to losing; Victoria Cave; Lake Square; the sites of Puerto de Culturas do not deserve a euro ... ", adding that" the mills of wind has no more than an allocation for all of 250,000 euros, and taking into account that with that you can recover a single mill, the feeling is that nothing will come to Cartagena for that concept ".

ZAL and Health is still waiting

The cartagenerista spokesman has ironized that the new Logistics Activities Zone "is an absolute priority of the CARM, so it allocates the same money as that of Murcia, 350 thousand euros."

The mayor recalled that "in the last five years they have budgeted for the ZAL two million and have only executed 83 thousand euros."

The lack of political will is reflected in the fact that they have created a mixed society "that serves as an excuse for not complying, empowers Corvera and does not unfold the goods by Los Camachos." As for health, he has denounced that "attention is abandoned primary in exchange for announcing Hemodynamics, "evidencing that" there is no improvement plan for clinics, nor for the summer. "

He has continued explaining that "there is no single departure for Hemodynamics, we believe that they will do it to cover our mouths. It will be a success of all that we have faced them, but we will still need a 100% Rosell, acceptable waiting lists, and that the center of Barrio Peral or the one of Playa Honda start, at the same time that San Antón is finished ", while" on pollution we don't have to touch anything a priori, they can say that it will be 6 million and we will not be anything since they do not say where they are going to spend them. "

Constant discrimination in transportation

Regarding transport, it has drawn attention to the different investment with respect to the city of Murcia, "almost 6 million against 300,000 euros", something that "the neighborhoods and districts of Cartagena already know, 70% of our population is despised one year more for the regional government. For their districts what is needed, that they feel very Murcian; for our councils nothing, also so that they feel little Cartagena ". In addition, it has been reported that in the Road Safety Plan of 2020 they appear the same actions that in the years 2000/2005 and 2013/2014.

On the Mar Menor, he pointed out that there are 56 million consigned but that it is the same amount as the ITI of the Mar Menor and the EDUSI of La Manga "and we already know that they are going to regulate, all of previous years", while on the damages caused by the DANA in the Region has criticized that "although they say they block 320 million euros from the European Investment Bank, they have only included 15 in the regional budget." In summary, he has expressed his confidence in changing regional budgets "before of its approval ", since" much progress has been made since 2015, we are now on the agenda and in the headlines ", also ensuring that" we want work and results for the Cartagena and that is the new twist that we have to give among all".

The technical assessment, "unreal and unsustainable" budgets

After the intervention of José López, Pablo Pérez has taken the floor, who has started his argument describing the budgets as "excessively optimistic, unreal and unsustainable, since if the income is lower than expected at first they will not be able to face committed expenses. "

Then, he has concluded that in the binomial "fictitious accounts and exorbitant debt, it will be the citizen who is reduced."

Pérez has continued to explain in a pedagogical way the relationship between the budgeted and its degree of execution, grouping his analysis into different areas of action that are very paradigmatic.

There he has uncovered the fallacy resulting from the poor percentage of execution, for example, in education, with the example of the school of La Aljorra, with more than two million euros budgeted since 2016, of which some 83,000 euros have been executed.

Pablo Pérez, who accumulates more than five years of experience in the study of regional budgets, has outlined the low degree of execution on roads in the period 2016 2019, "38%".

Finally, Perez has revealed the game of 'trileros' of the regional Executive, with a ridiculous total execution, which passes to a very significant degree of partial and slipped execution, although more important is the non-executed and slipped.

Or what is the same, letting off 'sine die' the projects that Cartagena and its Region need repeating promises that will never be fulfilled.
