| María José Soler, on the displaced Manuel Padín: "We have a relegated Tourism councilor who does not comply either with Health.
Another effect of the Government of the depression" | Cartagena enters phase 1 of the de-escalation designed by the state government so that we all adapt to the 'new reality', caused by the health crisis we have suffered since last March. The people of Cartagena who, from today, take advantage of the relaxation in the confinement measures to make purchases without time limits or visit a terrace, will be able to see how they are obliged to share the streets and recreation areas with all kinds of insects. Given this situation, and after having received countless complaints from neighbors in recent weeks, MC Cartagena will propose various initiatives in the neighborhood councils to tackle this problem in neighborhoods and councils due to the passivity of the leaders of these decentralization bodies. The situation, however, is not exclusive in neighborhoods and county councils, so the Cartagena training will also demand that the Government adopt measures in the face of other problems such as the one that affects the residents and merchants of San Fernando Street, the central street of the city that suffers from a true plague of mosquitoes and those known as 'ball bugs'. In line with the above, the councilor of MC Cartagena, María José Soler, has spoken.
"We started phase 1 and Cartagena will have to share the streets with creatures that do not keep the safe distance." Subsequently, the mayor has indicated that "we have received hundreds of complaints from neighbors throughout the municipality about mosquito pests in lots, green areas but also in the streets." In addition, it has meant that in the Historic District, "mosquitoes are joined by the cockroach infestation and those known as ball bugs." Soler has alluded to commercial streets, such as San Fernando, where at times "there is a curtain of insects and the government is unable to solve them or is not interested". A councilor of Tourism relegated that does not comply either in Health The Cartagena councilor, then, has emphasized the head of the municipal government on the matter.
"The strange thing is that we have a Deputy Mayor and specific area councilor for that, Manuel Padín.
Because, at this point, it is evident that Tourism has displaced him and even excluded him from press conferences or meetings with the sector, and not even with that exclusive dedication does it address such an obvious and widespread problem.
" "Perhaps Padín, his La Trinca partners have demotivated him and it seems little to him to attend to such a basic need for citizens, but if they are not capable of fumigating, what can we expect of them," Soler asked. To conclude, the mayor of MC Cartagena has reported that the last contract awarded on this service dates from 2017, "another effect of the Government of the depression".
