The Municipal Group of Citizens reserves for the moment the assessment of the municipal budgets for 2017 because it considers that it is impossible to make a precise diagnosis without first knowing the destination of the 1.5 million euros of the participatory budgets, which remain blocked until The projects selected will be voted by the neighbors.
The Citizens' spokesperson in Cartagena, Manuel Padín, believes that "a lot of haste has been done on a good idea, and now it is hurting the capacity of analysis of the opposition parties, and also our ability to make proposals, We still know which projects will work out. "
