José López: "It's simple, Esperanza Nieto must get this money out of Noelia Arroyo's drawer to help the taxi.

They suffocate the people of Cartagena so that the vice mayor can look good" The Cartagena taxi continues a slow agony while the administrations look the other way.

To address this issue, the municipal spokesmen of MC Cartagena, José López and Jesús Giménez, held a working meeting yesterday with the president of Radio Taxi Cartagena, Eusebio Rodríguez, as well as with other members of the Board of Directors. Making an assessment of the meeting, the Cartagena spokesman, José López, has denounced this morning that "in the year of the coronavirus, the only municipal or regional aid received by the taxi sector has been the one that MC forced to provide screens for vehicles , and they haven't been paid yet.

" The mayor recalled that "in June, 'La Trinca' refused to rescue licenses applying the conclusions of the 'Viability Study of the Taxi Sector', carried out by the Network of Chairs of the UPCT, and since then everything has gotten worse." Faced with this situation, he has advanced that "we demand that before December 31 it is agreed to rescue the first 30 licenses.

It is simple, Esperanza Nieto must get this money from Noelia Arroyo's drawer to help the taxi and stop suffocating the people of Cartagena so that the deputy mayor shows off.

There is money, the only thing missing is the political will, which there has been to pay ALSA, for example.

" Regarding the local and regional budgets for 2021, López has pointed out that "we demand direct aid as happens in the Valencian Community, and the amortization of another 30 licenses.

The objective is to reach the 100 that the aforementioned study establishes as an excess. The service in La Manga suffers the consequences of the closure of the San Javier airport The MC spokesman continued to add that "this situation is compounded by the effort to take the airport to Murcia, preventing all taxis in our region from working there (when possible)." Likewise, it should be remembered that yesterday the newspaper La Opinion reported on the current problematic situation of the taxi sector in Cartagena, whose professionals are unable to provide their services without restrictions throughout the territory of La Manga. In line with this, López explained that "the situation in the sector also hits La Manga, as we announced this summer, where the San Javier City Council imposes this precarious service so as not to disturb its taxi drivers, and the one in Cartagena swallows". "As always the mayor of San Javier, José Miguel Luengo, and the regional PP, over and above the interests of La Manga, Cartagena and tourism," José López has ended up denouncing.
