"Our Municipal Group does not know that there has ever been a debate of this kind in Cartagena," what we want is that from this legislature it is mandatory to establish one, whoever is in the local government, and has The majority who have, "said the spokesman for the orange formation, Manuel Padín.
The Municipal Group of Citizens in Cartagena understands that a municipality with more than 217,000 inhabitants and with such a complex administrative organization, should have an effective instrument of control and analysis of the actions that are developed in each legislature, not only to communicate to The citizenship the state of execution of the projects of the local Government, but to make a complete radiograph of where and under what conditions Cartagena is at a certain time of the year.
From the formation orange consider that the most appropriate tool for this would be the annual celebration of a full monographic to discuss the state of the municipality.
For this reason, Citizens Cartagena will present at the next municipal plenary a motion for the municipal government to carry out the relevant operations to establish the annual mandatory, in July, an extraordinary session to discuss the state of the municipality.
According to the Citizen spokesman in Cartagena, Manuel Padín, "the Government would have the opportunity to be accountable for its annual management and to report, on the one hand, those strategic actions carried out, and on the other, those matters that could not be settled In due time ".
In addition, for the local spokesman "the opposition groups could transfer to the citizens the deficiencies detected in the functioning of the Executive, and of the different services that it provides, as well as assess the Cartagena economic and social status as a whole, On the other hand, it would mean a real optimization of our capacity to generate new strategic plans in the short, medium and long term. "
Citizens Cartagena does not know that there has ever been a debate of this kind in Cartagena, "what we want is that from this legislature establishes the obligation to perform one, whoever is in the local government, and has the majority That has. ", Assured Manuel Padín.
"Until recently, it was unthinkable that such an initiative would have the potential to get ahead in Cartagena, but now that the absolute majorities have disappeared we have the opportunity to create new instruments of control," Padín says.
Ciudadanos explains in its motion that "this is an idea that is expanding in many Spanish municipalities." From a time to this part, almost all the political formations that have representation in the different consistories are presenting proposals to include in their respective regulations the obligation To convene annually an extraordinary plenary of monographic nature that serves to discuss the state of the municipality "
Management proposal:
One of the points of the Citizens' motion is a proposal to organize the debate: "It will be initiated and closed with the intervention of the Mayor-Presidency. After a recess, speakers from different municipal groups will intervene, , With a maximum time of 25 minutes per Group, the Municipal Group or Groups that belong to the Government will intervene last. After the intervention of the spokespersons, the Mayor's Office, if it deems appropriate, will reply without a time limit. Then, a 10-minute turn by Municipal Group will be opened, which, if the Mayor's Office deems appropriate, will use the rejoining time without limitation of time. "
From now on, if the Plenary approves that these procedures are initiated, the secretary of the Municipal Plenary must make a proposal to modify the Regulation, which as such, must finally have the approval of an absolute majority.
