"Cartagena cannot afford not to make decisions because it is proposed by MC"
The municipal spokesman for MC Cartagena, José López, has reported that "the business representatives of our region yesterday demanded the implementation of concrete measures to alleviate the effects of the crisis caused by the coronavirus."
Faced with this situation, he recalled that "this claim coincides with the battery of proposals put forward by MC and that last Wednesday we transferred it to the Plenary, measures that included, among others, nullifying the rise in the IBI, reducing the salary of councilors and high charges to allocate it to bonuses and, of course, tax exemptions, to increase social spending and direct aid to SMEs and the self-employed ", regretting that" all were rejected by a government without a project, without ideas and without reflections, which lives oblivious to the reality, and whose only response has been to raise taxes on all Cartagena and not touch their salary. "
López explained that "we are more concerned than ever about their ineptitude, but also about their iniquity; they have shown that they are capable of not making decisions because they are proposed by MC or because they do not include a photo album, and Cartagena cannot afford it."
"We are going for a year of this 'Trinca' and it is all bad news, the ones that provoke by action and the ones that cause us by omission, and every time we have to make decisions or delay them or make them wrong."
José López ended by criticizing that "they have neither the democratic culture nor the humility to let themselves be guided by those who reach out with solutions, without asking for anything in return", wishing lastly that "it is not too late when they open their eyes and start helping Cartagena and not themselves.
