| In addition, the mayor has expressed that the local government shows its resounding refusal to modify the current judicial structure, focusing the courts in the capitals province | The mayor of Cartagena, Ana Belén Castejón, reported this Friday, December 4, after the meeting of the Table of Justice that took place in the City Hall, about the news about the City of Justice, as well as the negotiations for the installation of the Commercial Court."The Municipal Government is satisfied to have been able to verify once again, that the entire society as a whole and all the political groups that make up the municipal corporation, we agree on the main demands that in the field of justice affect the municipality of Cartagena" , expressed the mayor.In the first place, the first mayor has stated that "it has become very clear that we are totally opposed to the Commercial Court number 3 going to Murcia." The Cartagena City Council "has worked morning, afternoon and night without rest", offering up to 6 locations in the municipality to locate the Court.

Therefore, "nobody would understand" that the Commercial Court number 3 was not established in the town.

"He has to stay in Cartagena," declared Castejón.From the beginning our claim demanded the regional character of the Commercial Court in Cartagena.

Therefore, the decision to install the number 3 in Murcia immediately and the number 4 in Cartagena in the second half of 2021, represents a clear discrimination for our municipality, since this regional character is not guaranteed.In addition, before the announcement of the Government that the public consultation of the Preliminary Draft of the new Justice Law has begun, the Mayor of Cartagena has expressed that the local Government shows its resounding refusal to modify the current judicial structure, focusing on the courts in the provincial capitals, "because again Cartagena, because it is not a provincial capital, would be harmed, if this Draft Law does not contemplate in its allegations the frontal opposition of the Cartagena City Council and the entire Table of Justice to which centralize the courts.

For his part, the dean of the Bar Association, Antonio Navarro, pointed out that "after more than 20 years of demands it seems that the City of Justice is beginning to take shape." He also pointed out that Cartagena is "underfunded with courts", therefore "we cannot wait until the City of Justice is finished, we need a temporary solution so that Cartagena and its region can be taken care of", concluded the dean.The Table of Justice meeting this Friday, December 4 in the City Hall has counted the presence of the mayor of Cartagena, Ana Belén Castejón, the vice mayor, Noelia Arroyo, the deputy mayor, Manuel Padín, and other members of the municipal corporation , as well as the Fernando Garrido Neighbors Federation and representatives of Lawyers, Attorneys, Social Graduates, Judges, Neighbors, COEC, Chamber of Commerce and Urban Planning.
