During the next municipal plenary session, MC Cartagena will present a motion to give the momentum required by the Logistics Activities Zone of Cartagena with real investments, beginning with the requirement to the regional government of the transfer this year from the Franco Deposit to Los Camachos, agreement reached on proposal by José López during the Consortium meeting of this infrastructure in November 2016.

Likewise, this initiative contemplates urging the Institute for the Promotion of the Region to complain to the companies to which it subsidizes and with which it works that all its goods leave from the port of the Region, that of Cartagena.

The municipal spokesman of MC, José López, explained that the Cartagena proposal "is more necessary than ever after knowing that of the 175,000 containers that leave the Community every year, only 70,000 do so through the port of Cartagena and the rest through Valencia , which explains that this year we lost thousands of containers, when this traffic could be fired 150% only with those of the Region itself. "

Regarding the ZAL, he added that "the situation has been the same since 2016: years in a drawer, no progress, budgets not executed, agreements not signed and, above all, railway connection of undated goods".

López has shown that "to all this we must add that if the expansion of Escombreras is not already undertaken, Cartagena could run out of merchandise traffic in 15 years, because the bay's draft is scarce and ships are increasingly big".

Therefore, José López has concluded that "even more necessary than a long-term container dock project, which we do not give up from MC, is to launch the ZAL and expand Debris so that Cartagena does not disappear from commercial traffic, or is it precisely that what they want from Murcia?
