Giménez Gallo: "In all the municipalities the survival of the sector is being supported by amortizing the excess licenses and here, in Cartagena, the PP, which proposed it in 2017 'in bulk', refuses to start this procedure now that there is a report of the UPCT that supports it " This week, after months waiting for the local government to agree to show this information, the MC Cartagena Municipal Group has had access to the 'Taxi Sector Feasibility Study', carried out within the framework of the Network of Chairs of the UPCT and that has been held by the local Executive since September 2019. In line with this issue, the deputy spokesman for MC Cartagena, Jesús Giménez, has announced that in the next plenary session the Cartagena training will propose an initiative "to start the rescue plan for taxi licenses." Giménez Gallo explained that "in all the municipalities the survival of the sector is being supported by amortizing the excess licenses and here, in Cartagena, the PP, which proposed it 'in bulk' in 2017, refuses to start this procedure now that it exists a report from the UPCT that supports it.
" "We have been able to read, nine months later, this rigorous study by researchers from the Cartagena university, which puts excess licenses at more than one hundred and offers the mathematical formula to assess this amortization," continued the deputy spokesman for MC. The mayor of Cartagena has reported that "the PP was interested in the taxi when it was in the opposition, only as a wear and tear strategy, and now that we have given it the tools to help the sector, it hides them and refuses to contemplate it in the budget" For this reason, he added that "it will be curious to see if, once again, PP and C's vote against what they proposed and if the refugees do not want a study whose need they shared with us to be fulfilled.
The unfortunate thing is that while both the sector is at the mercy of a crisis situation that it could not overcome ". Inattention to service in La Manga Ahead of the start of the summer season, the councilor of MC Cartagena has also expressed concern about the service in the La Manga area that corresponds to the municipality of San Javier. "Multiple users of the taxi service have contacted us, indicating that there is no service in the area of ??La Manga corresponding to the City of San Javier and, after consulting with local associations in this sector, they have confirmed that they are waiting for the Cartagena City Council to help them offer this service, an attention that may be key for them to save these months in a professional way.
One other burden on the tourist activity of La Manga, which the popular councilor, María Casajús, seems to be determined to burst this summer, since the dirtiness of the beaches adds her lack of impulse to this service and the 'run run' that exists in La Manga is that the Cartagena City Council works to extol the sad work of Luengo in front of the City of San Javier ",He concluded by pointing out Jesús Giménez.
