| In improving mobility, traffic calming and accessibility in Cartagena | While neighboring Murcia has taken the fight against climate change seriously and is committed to creating more bike lanes, safe bike racks and new green routes, Cartagena remains in the Prehistory of sustainable urban mobility: few bike lanes and no connection, no Secure bike rack and less and less space for pedestrians. Despite having requested the meeting of the Mobility Table several times and after more than eight months since the last meeting, we have had to find out through the European Mobility Week website that the City Council does not think summon it until September 16; As long as you don't change your mind at the last minute, just like you did in September of last year.

In effect, the table was delayed from September 18 to November 27, without giving any justification to the entities that comprise it. "The fact that the summons has not been sent to us personally shows the lack of respect, the lack of interest and questions the capacity of the members of the government team and more specifically Juan Pedro Torralba, responsible for the convocation of the same" , comment the members of the citizen collective. In addition, from MoviliCt, the lack of content of the activities that the City Council has proposed to carry out during the week is criticized (Textually: "Activities for the Promotion of the bicycle" or "Activities for the Promotion of Sustainable Mobility") and the lack of real interest , since it has not committed to carry out any permanent and lasting activity. "We are very afraid that, like last year, a list of activities has been drawn up that the only thing it aims to do is make the gallery look good; but that at the time of reality, they do not have any type of incidence or about the cartageneros / as or mobility, because they go unnoticed or just do not happen, "lament the members of MoviliCT. Meanwhile, MoviliCT plans to hold a parallel week, in which three bicycle routes will be carried out to denounce the lack of interest and little knowledge of our leaders in the development of policies that lead us to "mobility without emissions." ("POR UNA MOBILITY WITHOUT EMISSIONS ", is the motto that the European Union has proposed for SEM 2020)
