In this way, it is intended to ensure that the next academic year the activities of athletes of all ages, especially young people and children who form the base sport, can be safely resumed. In addition, the study of the installation of calisthenics parks in public parks, creation of healthy trails and routes that allow recreation and a guarantee of distance between people will also be encouraged. This new initiative will be included in the 'Cartagena Moves' Plan, proposed by this training to contribute to the recovery of healthy habits associated with sports after overcoming the mandatory confinement for citizens after declaring the State of Alarm.

Thus, said plan also contemplates the reduction to symbolic amounts of public prices for sports and the use of municipal facilities. This action joins the set of economic, fiscal and social measures defended by MC to mitigate the consequences of the pandemic such as nullifying the rise in IBI, the reduction or exemption of municipal taxes, aid to SMEs and the self-employed, increased social spending , among many. The councilor and head of the MC Cartagena Sports area, Ricardo Segado, has detailed what 'Cartagena Moves' consists of.

"Our training aims to guarantee sports practice for individuals, clubs and associations regardless of the scenario we face at the turn of summer due to the health crisis of COVID-19." In line with the above and in view of the possible scenarios that may compromise the normal use of municipal sports facilities, "we believe it is essential to anticipate and plan an alternative that allows regulating sports practice," the mayor said. "In summary, our initiative consists of allocating public parks and school yards scattered throughout the municipality for these purposes," said Segado. Later, he specified that "the authorization of these places would be regulated and ordered with the maximum guarantees for users, being chosen for their geographical convenience and based on the sports practiced there.

All this, after being planned through tables bilateral work between the City Council and the clubs involved.

" "In our opinion," continued the Cartagena mayor, "this is a proposal in which we only need to have the will and dialogue.

The objectives we understand to be of interest; to maintain the practice of healthy habits that contribute to general well-being.

And we must be prepared to act in every circumstance.

" Finally, Ricardo Segado has indicated that "with this plan we also request that other complementary measures be studied, such as the possible installation of calinestia parks or the creation of healthy trails or routes."
