"

Thus, he pointed out that technicians and naturalists recommend "let the Mar Menor regenerate" and that the best way to do this is "take physical human pressure."

THE PRESUMTO LOAN FOR THE HEADQUARTERS OF THE MUNICIPAL PP

Regarding the information that appeared on Tuesday in the press, referring to about 18,000 euros that the Municipal People's Party would have charged the City of Cartagena, López recalled that when the popular installed their headquarters in the street Santa Florentina, they acquired "one or two floors Of 180 square meters "and that" they have been paying permanently with the subsidy for the municipal group ".

He pointed out that "the rule says that the subsidy can not be spent on real or personal property" and criticized that "they have been justifying it directly with the bank's receipts but now they say that they want to change that bank receipts on account of the Party and then as the party spends it as they want, "which has described that" would be deceiving. "

For this reason, he explained that the Popular Party has presented a series of receipts in which they say that they were given funds and then the party spent them.

Thus, he said that "it is clear that during the last years of the Popular Party, have been permanently paying the mortgage of that expensive venue with money from the Cartagena," so "will have to explain the how and why."

In this way, he has ventured that it may be the Court of Auditors "to ask how and why they have used funds that should be for the proper functioning of the municipal group and, therefore, to benefit the Cartagena, to buy their own headquarters".
