"We hope that this is not the tip of the iceberg, and that our populations on the coast of Cartagena can have assured the conservation and maintenance of public services such as maintenance of roads, sanitation networks, lighting, signage, beach cleaning, Waste removal, among others, "warned the Citizens spokesman in Cartagena, Manuel Padín.
Shortly after the announcement of Deputy Mayor Ana Belén Castejón of her plans for the dissolution of IMSEL, the spokesperson for Citizens in Cartagena, Manuel Padín, expressed doubts and reticence about the possible precipitation of this decision, and today recalled that as early as October Of 2016 said that his Municipal Group was worried if the City of Cartagena "was going to be able to maintain and guarantee the services and duties that from a time to this part were being offered from the IMSEL, if the Department of Decentralization was going to be Capable of assuming work without prejudice to the quality, agility and regularity of the service. "
"Now we read in the press about the malaise of the businessmen linked to the installation and management of beach bars, kiosks and other services on the beaches," said Manuel Padín.
The delay in opening the tender to award the permits to install these services could prevent them from opening these businesses for Easter.
According to Padín, "the City Council itself has admitted it, it has been the sudden suppression of the Municipal Institute of Coastal Services which has caused this delay, by assuming from one day to another the management of the process, technicians have had to start from scratch , With the difficulties that entails ".
On the other hand, the Citizens' spokesman is also concerned about the complaint made by the president of Hostecar de Cartagena, Juan José López, published today in La Verdad newspaper "on the criteria that have been followed in the specifications, Where it seems that the high bid is high and the seniority of the hoteliers is not taken into account, that is to say, only the economic criteria and not the quality of the offer are made, we want to analyze this in detail so that these services end in the Best hands "
"We hope this is not the tip of the iceberg, and that our populations on the coast of Cartagena can be assured of the conservation and maintenance of various public services such as maintenance of roads, sanitation networks, lighting, signs, beach cleaning , Waste removal, among others, "warned the Citizens spokesman, who has committed" to maintain frequent contact with these territories to control that the City Council will be able to fulfill its obligations after the transfer of these functions to the municipal brigades "
