The spokesman for Citizens Cartagena, Manuel Padin, has made ​​clear that "only now, August 31, 2016, three months after the deadline ordered by the House, has started the process to change the statutes of the Agency of Local Development and employment, and probably forced by our public complaint through the media. "
Cartagena citizens accept the explanations of the Director of Legal Services City and considers legitimate the vote
From one week ago, all decisions have been taken from the local government regarding the Agency of Local Development and Employment have been an accumulation of gross irregularities, or at least, actions and decisions of dubious legality.
The first irregularity is failing to implement the motion passed at the April plenary session by which called for 'the Legal Services City draw up an amendment to the Statutes of the ADLE to guarantee immediately that the agreements of its Governing Council adopted taking into account the vote weighted local groups'.
The motion clearly stated that this amendment should be included in the agenda of the plenary of May, as well as in the previous Information Committee of Finance and Home Affairs, if necessary.
This was not done at the plenary mandate disobeyed and today has enabled the Governing Council has made the vote to propose the new manager of the ADLE without just proportionality of the vote of the municipal groups.
Moreover, the spokesman for Citizens Cartagena, Manuel Padin, thanked the presence of the Director of Legal Services City, Francisco Pagán, at the meeting, and the explanations given which shows that holding the vote today is not any illegality, "Francisco Pagán has all my confidence, and I know the good work they are doing and how overwhelmed they are, so we accept the legal report presented to us today in which it is concluded that while not vary statutes this Agency should continue to work with the statutes as they are written today and accept the legitimacy of the voting process. "
According to Manuel Padin, "the will of our Municipal Group is none other than the Agency will not operate and continue to provide the best possible service to Cartagena unemployed, that and no other is our priority."
Despite this, the spokesman for Citizens also want to make clear that "the fact that the vote itself does not constitute an irregularity does not imply that disappear irregularity had not executed on time and motion and were able to perform vote without just proportionality. "
According to the spokesman of Citizens Cartagena, Manuel Padin, "I think there has never been real will on the local government to agree on the choice of manager."
"We do not think this continues Padín- have much to do with transparency and dialogue that the parties that are in power promised at the beginning of the legislature."
The spokesman for Citizens wants to make clear to the public that "only now, August 31, 2016, three months after the deadline ordered by the House, has started the process to change the statutes, and probably forced by our public complaint through of the media. "
Manuel Padin wonders, it is that we could have done things differently ?, why have allowed all this controversy rather than obey the orders of the plenary and agree a manager among all groups but not impose it without information? "
Moreover, the spokesman for the Orange formation, which abstained in the vote so referred to above, has insisted that "the important thing here, and that you do not forget anyone, is that this Agency, which oversees the implement instruments and enable the economic development of this city and working to provide opportunities for our unemployed find work, must function at full capacity as soon as possible.
