Citizen spokesman Cartagena, Manuel Padín, has pointed out that the possible inclusion of a new member of the Bureau, "gives us some doubts because it could break the representative balance for which we have been fighting, and to avoid suspicions was unanimously requested Of all political groups, that this new member of the Governing Council has a voice but no vote. "
The opposition parties approved in the April municipal plenary a motion that forced the local government to amend the statutes of the Agency so that PSOE and MC no longer have in the Governing Council the majority that has allowed them, among other things, to cease In his time to the previous manager, and that favored the election by finger of the following one.
According to the spokesman of Citizens in Cartagena, Manuel Padin, "it was not understandable or admissible that a minority government maintains autonomous bodies where it has an absolute majority, because the balance of the political representation that exists in Cartagena is distorted."
The political representation of this body did not correspond proportionally with that of the municipal plenary.
Although the parties that make up the local government, the Citizens Movement and the PSOE, represent between the two, only 34 percent of the electorate, had a majority in this Governing Council.
It was this distortion of representativeness that, for example, prevented approval of the removal of the director of the ADLE despite the support of most of the political forces.
The spokesperson for the Orange Formation recalled that since the adoption of the motion for amendment of the statutes in April, he has been claiming it at each session of the Council "and this can be verified in each of the minutes of the sessions, but Anyway we are glad that finally the president of the ADLE, Ana Belén Castejón has proposed the modification of the composition of this body, "broadening the participation of political groups", and win in representation, even if it has been executed almost a year After it was approved in plenary. "
There will now be nine political representatives: three from the PP;
Two from PSOE, two from Movimiento Ciudadano (MC);
One from Cartagena Yes We Can-Can (CTSSP) and one from Citizens.
Nevertheless, the spokesman noted that the inclusion of a new member of the Bureau "gives us some doubts because the representative balance for which we have been fighting could be broken, and to avoid suspicions was requested at the last meeting, for Unanimous vote of all the political groups, that this new member of the Governing Council has a voice but no vote and a legal report was requested on this matter; Citizens received yesterday a statement signed by the manager of the ADLE, Manuel Mora, which states that 'Whether or not a representative of the workers is included, and whether or not the right to vote is pending a legal report. "For this reason, Manuel Padín hopes" that these doubts will be resolved soon and that the representation of this Council , And the distribution of forces with decision power corresponds to the popular will expressed at the polls in the last municipal elections.
The Citizens' spokesperson wanted to make it clear that the presence of a representative of the Board of Personnel seems to us to be "perfect, necessary and timely, but this can not mean that this person can (and may be) Responsibility of a decision that should emanate from the political debate of public representatives, in any case, this Group will accept what the legal report of the City of Cartagena will dictate.
