| Jesús Giménez: "A project so necessary, that we move away from the political game, cannot be lost due to disinterest or power struggles" | This morning, the MC Cartagena deputy spokesperson, Jesús Giménez, has advanced that his training will request to know the reforestation program that the local government is projected for the imminent autumn and if it will respect what was agreed during the meeting of the last Table of the Reforestation held last June. In this context, the Cartagena leader recalled that "almost four years ago we created the Reforestation Table (February 2017) to make a reality, with method and collaboration, the recovery of the vegetation cover of our mountains". "This Sunday," the mayor continued, "the City Council came down with a statement stating that it will reforest an area that already is, such as the Castle of the Moors." In relation to the last meeting of the Reforestation Table and given the concern to know what actions will be carried out, Giménez has declared that "we have registered a request for a meeting with municipal officials to find out if this fall the actions that we agreed upon will be respected in June and, with it, to check if the dysfunction is due only to the need to sell smoke or is something more serious and is also an element of contention between PP and defectors ". A depoliticized forum Subsequently, the deputy spokesman for Cartagena has specified that "a project so necessary that we managed to get away from the political game and that we owe to the people of Cartagena cannot be clouded by disinterest and, much less, by their power games." In the specific case of Cerro de Los Moros, the MC councilor added that "the municipal statement is a lack of respect for the neighbors; for neighborhood associations such as Rascasa and the coordinator; for CreeCT, which promoted and maintains it , to the hundreds of volunteers who have worked there and even to the European MAPS initiative, which served to bring us together ". "With that disdain they treat the people of Cartagena Arroyo and Castejón.
As we explained in their day, perhaps they fear that from each seedling a committed Cartagena will grow", he concluded. Table for Reforestation The main objective of the Table for Reforestation, a working forum created in February 2017 after a motion by MC, who took up the proposal of the CreeCT association, is to carry out an approach for the recovery of the vegetation cover of the mountains of Cartagena. It brings together technicians, political groups and collectives such as CreeCT, Arba CartagenaoANSE, among others.
