"The idea of ​​joining services between municipalities that allow us to optimize and save money to invest where it is really necessary is something that is worth exploring with seriousness and depth," said Manuel Padín, who considers that this debate "does not have and should not be Ideological, but practical, with analytical empirical data, it is a matter of making numbers and concluding what is best for the municipalities that make up the natural region of Campo de Cartagena. "

"Faced with the idea of ​​creating more political structures such as provincial councils, ineffective and democratic bodies, whose main expense is to finance their own structure, and which usually generates patronage networks and cases of corruption (as we have had the misfortune to verify) , The idea of ​​joining services between municipalities that allow optimizing and saving money to invest where it really is missing is something that is worth exploring with seriousness and depth, "said Manuel Padín, who believes that this debate" does not have and should not be Ideological, but practical, with testable empirical data, it is a question of making numbers and concluding what is best for the municipalities that make up the natural region of Campo de Cartagena. "
According to Padín, "I think that the inhabitants of the Region would want a better functioning of their Health Area or more investments in infrastructure rather than maintaining with their new taxes and ineffective political structures."
