President MC |

During the transition aroused vigorous in Cartagena and its region an identity and provincialista feeling that was skillfully mitigated.

I'm not trying here to do a historical review, so we'll leave that 10,000 people, according to newspaper reports at the time, asked the province in April 1978 and the slogan "Cartagena Province" nestled in the hearts of many more, as it was a time of hope and recover what belonged to us is always a laudable objective and dear.

This is claimed to His Majesty the King, Mayor, Enrique Escudero.

At that time, parties with national vocation, more interested in a centralized autonomous community in Murcia, devised not to go ahead in Madrid restitution of the province, and approved a Statute of Autonomy which regulatory text cornered Cartagena and all municipalities Region, turned into satellites of a star with little brightness at that time.

Subsequent years, settled the Statute of Autonomy, served to strengthen the "Cartagena Province" between Cartagena, and it was like a localist party as the Cantonal Party managed to govern the municipality, with a pact of unstable government with AP, which ended in betrayal, and garnished constant marginalization by the PSOE, then at the regional and national power.

The Vallejo Mayor also asked the province to King, with the same result, satisfaction in the bars of Cartagena bars and any consequence in reality.

After that, four years of Jose Antonio Alonso that coincided with the great crisis of 90 and 20 years of Pilar Barreiro went from crisis to boom as never before known and ultimately an unsustainable financial situation.

In both cases the province was a murmur, condemned to a residual paper and romantic disinterest of the institutions and the irrelevance of those who defended at that time in the political sphere.

At that stage there were two important milestones, the birth of the platform by the biprovincialidad '2es +' and, in 2007, the collection and submission to the Assembly and the regional executive by MC 50,000 signatures in support of the province of Cartagena .

As I said, the "provincials" politicians that stage neither understood nor defended the reasons for that province, so the regional politicians of national parties only had to keep firms in a drawer, along with the reform of the Statute of Autonomy and pass the time waiting for a more propitious moment to change anything in this region.

It happens that the educational work of the platform has continued filling of technical reasons the claim.

And that social, economic, administrative, and with all the legal and justice blessings evidence, has joined the electoral triumph of MC, which allowed him to hold the Mayor despite not being the most voted.

Today, and against all expectations, this social movement is channeled into the political sphere by MC from the municipal government with regional sense, hence the evolution MC Campo de Cartagena and participation in elections and the regional debate.

MC has assumed the responsibility to serve the main public demand, that institutions serve them and the general interest, for a fairer distribution system and get as essential and indispensable goal, to be the engine of the future for the region .

That region that has been battered at the most basic public services, health, education, justice, and that in the almost 40 years we spoke was even artificially divided by the distinction between Cartagena and Mar Menor.

From City of Cartagena MC he has built bridges to the other seven municipalities with whom we share the natural region, our common land and sea, advances in studies for optimizing services through regionalization of the Autonomous Community, and It does not acronyms without expansionist and colonial pretensions that led to a single-province region, which cornered 44 municipalities cornered itself.

At the municipal level working on that we all recognize in Cartagena and our region, we do not work to be or power, work to do and that feels in the street and feel the political parties and those minds that put out a just claim start to have a reality of justice and balance.

The illusion can be channeled and diverted, as was demonstrated 40 years ago, but the uncertainty generated by them makes them start up your machine, all without reservation, and that is another achievement, since the machinery is also ours.

The Autonomy Statute that set us apart will be revised, a new text to channel the expectations of progress and development of a region, which finally organized for the benefit of its citizens, and contemplate its provisions the biprovincialidad, creating a second province where Cartagena is spearheading, but can not not want to be alone with La Union, from Mazarrón to San Pedro del Pinatar, from Fuente Álamo by Torre Pacheco to Alcazares and San Javier, eight municipalities that may represent the future of the Autonomous Community, agriculture, tourism, Mar Menor, heritage, history, for a biprovincial Region, with representation and budget our part.

And the rest of the region strengthened by increased representation in the state and regional resources.

The two sides of the coin demand it, agriculture lacks water quality, we deny and we have no weight to lure the Mar Menor suffering after years of neglect, nor flow into the solutions, in the region we continue to work for so be it, but we need all Sticking up for it.

In Cartagena we have a project (MC) who believes in it, but not as a city or municipality, but as a catalyst for the opportunities they deserve the inhabitants of the region and the region, and calls, calls and has no dependence or attachment to prevent it, and that is uncomfortable.

We are able to seize the opportunity to risk, responsibility forces us to bet on the future, for what we can get and has forbidden us these 40 years, and work and that the Statute of Autonomy contemplates biprovincialidad of the CARM, the second province with center in our field and bathed by two seas, is not romanticism, not ambition, it is the future that is before us at this time.

That's the truth.
