A document that, as always, punishes Cartagena and does not bet on the total opening of the Rosell and leaves in the air the 24-hour expansion of the Saint Lucia Hemodynamic Service Yesterday, the plenary session of the Regional Assembly approved the CARM Budgets for the year 2020 with the vote in favor of PP and C's and the abstention of VOX.
Finally, the text has been drafted in the same way as the one presented in the month of January, when the amendments to the articles of the opposition groups were rejected. The regional budget comes to add to the inertia also established by the Government of Cartagena to 'impose' an unreal and outdated document that does not take into account the special circumstances we are experiencing and that we will have to face in the short and medium term.
In the specific case of the regional administration, the neglect of the need for investment in Health stands out, not assuming, among others, the commitment to fully operate the Hospital Santa María del Rosell as a general hospital, while leaving the expansion in the air from the Saint Lucia Hemodynamic Service 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. At this point, it is worth mentioning that, on March 2, MC Cartagena went to the Registry of the Regional Assembly to present the proposals for amendments reasoned by the Cartagena training for its processing and inclusion in the CARM budget project for the year 2020.
Among the arguments made by MC, totally ignored by the regional Executive, was a specific allocation of 1.5 million euros for the 100% start-up of the Hospital del Rosell; greater investment to reduce the waiting list in dependence; doubling the provisions for the development of the ZAL of Los Camachos; rescue the school of La Aljorra from oblivion, and a higher budget on roads. A "realistic and assumable" proposal that once again has been ignored, thus perpetuating the unjust and unsupportive distribution that year after year is devised from San Esteban and endorsed in the Regional Assembly. "An outdated budget with no specific items to help society overcome this crisis" The municipal spokesman and secretary general of the Cartagena formation, José López, has denounced this morning that "the regional government has approved an outdated budget to redo it and they recognize it without blushing.
Behind there is no work, they do not fulfill even the minimum dignity that a public representative is supposed to be trying to keep up with what they reject because they are on the site.
" The mayor has continued reviewing that "the headline in another time would be that the mistreatment of Cartagena continues, but it is that we are in a pandemic and as the first thing is before, it must be said that they are the presuppositions of mockery, pitorreo, of the offense to all of a gang that, as happened in Cartagena, the salary goes up.
" Going deeper into the regional accounts, López has highlighted that "the most bleeding is the general reduction in health spending and that there are no specific items to help society overcome this crisis.
Now that one and the other are stabbing each other for their management , reducing health spending is a declaration of intent, "while adding that" it is also maintaining Rosell as an outpatient in breach of 4 years and the Law, as well as refusing to allow Hemodynamics to play a part in the budget.
" "The hemodynamics is of note, they have been with the Santa Lucia for 9 years, the PP has not stopped ruling the Region, even though he now does it with crutches like C's and VOX, and his commitment is to open the service when Noelia Arroyo is close to receiving, if he receives it, the Castejón cane.
If there is a cane, we will save lives.
This is how they act, it is repugnant and true, "said José López. The Cartagena leader has concluded by criticizing that "there is nothing about MC's proposals to meet concrete and historical needs of Cartagena, the ZAL continues with crumbs; abandoned and unsafe roads; schools without air conditioning; the Central cinema or the expansion of the MURAM must be waiting for the cane, and the Torreciega bridge or the West penetration to have a say, for which they will have to be reborn.
