Manuel Padín, a spokesman for the orange formation, recalled that in no case will his group support the creation of more provincial councils, "old bureaucratic machines that are not very effective and democratic, whose main expense is to finance their own structure. At the expense of the pockets of the Carthaginians, there are more political structures, more political positions, which also, and we have all witnessed, a multitude of cases of corruption and clientelistic networks. "
The municipal plenary in October unanimously approved the creation of a Work Table to study the different possibilities that exist to increase the decentralization of Cartagena, as well as the legal, economic and social viability of the creation of the so-called Province of Cartagena.
The Bureau has been constituted this morning in the Council of Councilors with the representation of all the Municipal Groups in the City Council, the Federation of Neighborhood Associations of Cartagena and Shire, and the Platform 2es +.
After its constitution, the Bureau has appointed the fixed members of each Municipal Group, the FAVCAC, and the Platform, among them the spokesperson for Citizens in Cartagena, Manuel Padín.
The work, reports and opinions of the attendees have also been collected, and other institutions, collective associations and professional colleges have been invited.
The spokesperson for the orange formation has recalled that this first call has been described as positive and has informed that in no case will his group support the creation of more provincial councils, "old bureaucratic apparatus ineffective and democratic, whose main expense is to finance its own structure We do not want or support that, at the expense of the pockets of the Carthaginians, there are more political structures, more political positions, which also, and we have all witnessed, a multitude of cases of corruption and clientelistic networks. "
We have already said this because of the approval of this table in plenary, "Citizens will never erase any space for dialogue and debate in which to be able to face arguments with all the social and political actors involved, and what we hope is that Cartagena, (a municipality with more than 217,000 inhabitants), and by means of other formulas that do not entail increasing spending, establish a strategy to achieve a fair distribution of local financing, Progress in a real administrative area that unifies services, and optimize municipal spending. "
Manuel Padín says that "we know that some are interested in confronting, dividing, catching flags, creating gangs, he is with me or against me, the old and stale political strategy to generate conflicts to undermine that in this social debate we all fight for a common goal ".
"Some still believe that citizens are fooled by these fictional tricks and that way they will achieve political returns but in Citizens we know that only with consensuses and with unity can we really make a difference and strengthen Cartagena," said the local Citizens spokesman.
