Regarding the claims of the Municipal Group Cartagena Sí Se Puede (CTSSP) in which the local government is accused of not choosing to purchase the San Antón jail or having collected the payment taxes on the property, the spokesman of the Group Municipal MC, Francisco Calderón, has stated this morning that "Cartagena Yes You Can is unable to discern what the truth of the lie is, because they invent that they have not been taxed when what has been done is to turn the receipts to Collect the back taxes due to the sale of the San Antón prison. "

Calderón has also denounced that "Cartagena Yes You Can has never supported any of the efforts that have been made in relation to the jail and only when it has been known that the jail was awarded to an employer, has begun to mobilize we do not know what interests".

Lastly, the spokesman of the cartagenerista municipal group recalled that "before Cartagena Yes It Could Exist, MC supported and continues to support the Platform for Public Health, thus mixing public health with this prison issue, which Is a flag that Cartagena Yes It Can has been taken late and badly, it is a lamentable exercise of pettiness and political ruin.

San Antón Prison

It should be recalled that, in July 2013, a motion of MC urged to propose some type of agreement or assignment to recover the building for the City and provide it with an alternative use for citizenship thus ending with the deterioration, plunder and unhealthiness of property.

This initiative, which recognized the impossibility of the City Council to undertake any action to refurbish the property, was rejected by the municipal council with the vote against the PP, citing the limited capacity of the administration that made it difficult to invest and then maintain current expenditure.

Likewise, MC promoted that the local Government made contacts in April of 2016 to return the prison of San Antón to the patrimony of the municipality.

The state of the property made unquantifiable the value of the use of the prison and its assignment as a public space to citizens.

Finally, in the last municipal plenary, a joint motion was approved by the municipal groups of MC and PSOE urging the local government to take the necessary steps to ensure "a social use of the property that facilitates its implementation with The purpose of returning it to the citizens contributing to regenerate the property and the area where it is located.
