| José López: "A municipal decree this week announces that some thirty beach bars will not be installed this summer on our coast" | Today, the spokesperson for the MC Cartagena municipal group, José López, has assessed the news known this week for which, through a municipal decree, it was determined that a significant number of beach bars will not be able to be installed this summer.
They argue reasons such as not having presented "resignation, for not presenting an instance of renewal, for not complying with the requirements for their hiring or because they were not awarded in previous seasons." Largely diffuse reasons that reveal the neglect and contempt of the municipal Executive to the sector. The Cartagena spokesman has begun by stating that the local government "does not attend to the beach bar sector.
It treats them as second-class hoteliers and keeps them in a precarious situation that, with the crisis, has left them on the verge of collapse." recalled that "in the last plenary session we demanded that attention.
From the Government they answered that they had met with them many times". Later, he added that "days later, the national PP and the mayor demanded from Costas the measures that MC had argued at the proposal of the beach bars, such as the elimination of the fee, expansion of the terraces and the possible extension of authorizations." After this, the MC leader regretted that "a municipal decree this week announces that some thirty beach bars will not be installed this summer on our coast.
A news that, if confirmed, will be a new blow to tourism and leisure, a sector They must believe that it only serves to take photos but it is an essential engine of our economy.
" An action that evidently contrasts with what happened during the State of Alarm, when the "local government dedicated itself to announcing that it would help all sectors and to take many photos in videoconferences or in front of pallets of food." "Now that the alarm is over and we all want to return to normal, none of its measures is in force, except for the IBI rise of 3 and a half million euros and the beach bar sector is the first to give real signs of bankruptcy," López finished.
