| José López: "The closure of the hospitality industry is dragging commerce and the local PP is not even able to imitate what is projected in Murcia or Madrid "| This morning, the spokesperson for the MC Cartagena municipal Group, José López, has positively valued the performance of the people of Cartagena in the battle being waged against COVID-19, a perception based on the known data on the incidence of the virus in our municipality during the last week. In line with these numbers, he has urged to review some restrictive measures, such as the closing of the terraces in the hotel industry. "The 157.8 cases per 100,000 inhabitants in 7 days, the latest published data on the incidence of COVID-19, speak very well of the responsibility of Cartagena," José López has argued. Then, the Cartagena leader has indicated that the situation would allow "if the stabilization of the incidence continues and, taking advantage of the fact that the regional government maintains the perimeter closures of the municipalities, we believe that in the monitoring meeting of the Covid next Wednesday, you must request the immediate reopening of the terraces of the hotel business in the municipality of Cartagena ". Municipality with the lowest incidence among the most populated The aforementioned numbers confirm that the incidence in Cartagena is "60% lower than that of the city of Murcia, the most populated municipality in the Region, which also presents worse data than Molina de Segura and Lorca".

"We cannot lower our guard, but we demand fairness in the measures," he asserted. Responsible rescue of key sectors In López's opinion, "it is not a question of saving the hospitality industry, but of doing it also for the trade.

Because the closure of the hotel industry has dragged them down and if we do not offer them this oxygen balloon we are compromising the Christmas campaign and this, the only sales option that they have, perhaps, until spring.

" More specifically, the MC spokesperson has delved into measures that would facilitate the opening.

"From offering an urgent framework of regulation of the furniture of the terraces with stoves that allow the stay, as Ballesta has programmed, to others in the longer term such as those implemented by Díaz Ayuso in Madrid for the interior of the premises". "If they do not do it for Cartagena, they should do it for their party, because what we propose is being done by leaders of the PP.

Sad that those who occupy our City Council do not even know how to follow their own", José López concluded.
