| Ricardo Segado: "Our flag, that of all Cartagena, shines in many clubs and we are obliged to give it continuity" | During the ordinary plenary session next Thursday, MC Cartagena will ask the local government to "honor the identity and history of our city by returning the flag of the maritime province of Cartagena to the municipal sports facilities, as well as the logo of the Department of Sports and on the protocol masts of the City Hall when the occasion deserves it, in homage to the creation of the maritime provinces and the people of the sea ", Ricardo Segado has announced Immediately afterwards, the Cartagena councilor added that in any territory "the history and idiosyncrasy of a place translates into identity and pride for all those who feel their land as theirs.
That is why each place has shields, emblems and flags that unite to its inhabitants under a feeling of belonging and respect ". In the specific case of the flag of the maritime province of Cartagena, the mayor recalled the initiative that emerged in October 2016, during the Mayor's Office of José López, to commemorate the creation of the Maritime Provinces (October 5, 1607), a act that served to honor one of the emblems most "loved and valued by the Cartagena social fabric and of all the municipalities that make up the natural region of Campo de Cartagena." In the same way, Segado has added that "our flag, that of all Cartagena, shines on numerous shields and equipment of sports clubs, so that from the Consistory we are obliged to give continuity and preserve our identity features, in addition to promoting union of citizenship ". To conclude, the Cartagena councilor has specified that "now that members of the local government seem to support the flag that represents us, at least through social networks, it seems to be the ideal time for our emblem to once again be the protagonist of municipal sports facilities , in the logo of the Department of Sports and in other locations when circumstances require it ".
