The spokesman for Citizens Cartagena, Manuel Padin, explained that "Article 28 of the Statutes attached to the full City Council the power to change them. Therefore, it is necessary that the House exercise that competence so that it embodied the political representation of our City in the Governing Council of IMSEL, in order to respect popular sovereignty expressed by citizens at the polls. "
The Municipal Institute of Coastal Services is run by the Governing Council, a body that assumes the government and the top management of the Institute.
Article 9 of the current Statutes of IMSEL establish the composition of the Governing Council, which is formed by the following members: five representatives of the City appointed by the mayor from among the councilors who form the municipal corporation, a director appointed by the Mayor among Neighborhood associations in the area, and the director General of the Coast.
Citizens from Cartagena believe that such composition of the Governing Council does not reflect the political representation of the full council, as not allow the participation of representatives of the various local groups.
Also, the figure of the Director General of the Coast no longer exists (at least under that name and title).
Therefore, we think that should change the composition of the governing body of IMSEL.
