| Jesús Giménez: "The time to talk about the future of La Manga is now; the COVID-19 crisis has highlighted the neglect it suffers from the overlapping of administrations "| Today, the deputy spokesperson of the Municipal Group MC Cartagena, Jesús Giménez, has delved into the needs that are multiplying in La Manga, a situation aggravated by a harmful and ineffective collection system when it comes to responding to current and future challenges in the location. "The time to talk about the future of La Manga is now; the COVID-19 crisis has evidenced the neglect it suffers from the overlapping of administrations," Giménez began arguing. Then, he has positioned the regional government.

"It is the same one that La Manga hides in FITUR.

It has been managing eighteen million euros from EDUSI for four years.

Well, it has only executed 5%, the funds could be lost, and the bottom line is the WiFi installation in some umbrellas, rusted railings and a resurfaced bike path.

" "The Consortium that coordinates the municipalities, because San Esteban left it years ago, only has money for salaries," the Cartagena leader continued to review.

And in relation to remuneration, he specified that "Cartagena and San Javier have maintained a cold war for wages, which Padín has won, since the manager's position is for his 'friend'.

Of course, no trace of planning." Collection by municipalities In terms of collection, Giménez has indicated that "while, 40% of the taxes of San Javier are collected in the northern part of La Manga.

A collection that we estimate between 15 and 20 million euros that is not reinvested, far from it, in her". In Cartagena, for its part, 3.5 million euros are collected in IBI.

"Its area is the busiest, the one that supports the most wear and tear and also has important deficiencies." Then, Jesús Giménez has outlined what should be the solution.

"La Manga must improve hand in hand with Cartagena as a whole, a territory that could have, if San Javier wants or lets, more than 50 million euros over 5 years for a reconversion plan, the only true opportunity to face the future with optimism.

" "That is MC's commitment.

That this collection improves La Manga, something that neighbors and businessmen in the area already know and we are putting on the table again," he concluded.
