The Municipal Group of Citizens wants to clarify what happens with the so-called Participatory Budgets.
The spokesman for the orange formation in Cartagena, Manuel Padín, believes that "the local government has to explain as soon as possible what is happening with almost 1.5 million euros that is still not determined, what are the deadlines that the City today handles to resolve the Citizen consultation, if there will be ballot boxes and voting and clarify whether they will be destined to small maintenance interventions as reported by a local newspaper or if there will be also some great strategic project through.
The Municipal Citizens' Group has recalled that both the protection of the perimeter of the Roman Quarries and a project for the Castle of the Watchtower "were two amendments that we withdraw at the last moment in the uncertainty that they could be included in the participatory, and Who told us that they were on the list of projects that had exceeded the technical, economic and legal requirements, a list to which no opposition group has had access today. "
"We reached an agreement with the Government of Cartagena to include our amendments, which exceed one million euros, for projects with name and surnames and to fill with guarantees the proposal to lower the price of water in Cartagena before it travels to The Community price board, "Manuel Padín said that he wants to make it clear that despite the improvement" are not the budgets of Citizens, and among those things we do not like are these unknowns that have to do with the participation of Citizens and collectives of Cartagena ".

"
"The local government has to explain what the reasons were for not being able to meet its initial intentions (allocate 50 percent of the investment, among them), and finally to deploy, after the vote, what it was Every euro will be destined, "the Citizens' spokesman said.
According to Manuel Padín, "It is not necessary to insist on the precipitation of this first pilot experience because it has already been generously explained by all the opposition groups, what we miss at first is something like an apology, an almost unheard of practice In the political class of this country, and what has to be done now is to be consistent and honest, and give the explanations that deserve the cartageneros who participated by presenting 2,332 proposals, without complex, with the truth ahead.
Citizens have also reported that the Government has the whole month of February to answer these and other questions, otherwise they will take them to the next City Council.
