The Municipal Group of Citizens has intervened between the Association of Chiringuitos of Cartagena (Achica) and the Department of Tourism in relation to the process of granting the authorizations of this year.
The orange formation spokesman, Manuel Padín, met last week with some representatives of this group, to which he transferred that his Municipal Group would try to promote a new meeting between them and the Councilor for Tourism in Cartagena, Obdulia Gómez.
This meeting, with the presence of Cs, took place last Friday in the dependencies of the Socialist Group and was attended by some members of Achica, the Councilor for Tourism and the Citizens' spokesperson.
"This Municipal Group I belong to does not like to look at the bulls from the barrier, we like to get our hands dirty, and we do not want to settle for criticism or public denunciation, but also try to help as far as we can, constructive vocation , Productive and mediating is one of our signs of identity, and Citizens understand their place in the opposition as an opportunity to control the excesses of the Government, but also to build, contribute, add for the good of Cartagena and its collectives, "explained Manuel Padín, who with this meeting, "we wanted, as a first objective, that both Tourism and the Achica collective know exactly where they are, why they make the decisions they make, what the problems are, the delays they Have occurred, and make a pool to explore possible meeting points. "
The Citizens' spokesman said that at the previous meeting, the applicants to obtain an authorization to work in their bars had informed him that the terms of the list were, in Achica's view, unfair and allowed a flat table between all those who presented themselves to the Contest, and in which the economic offer was too high, citizens also expressed their discomfort at the negligent delay of the whole process that could not arrive in time for Holy Week, among other irregularities.
This Association said that they would go to the Central Administrative Tribunal of Contractual Resources, an entity belonging to the Ministry of Finance to challenge the whole process, "before these claims, it was necessary a new meeting between this collective of workers and the Department of Tourism, for at least , Clear doubts and try to approach postures, before taking more serious determinations.
The Councilor for Tourism defended, during the meeting promoted by Cs, how to proceed in this matter of his department, and said that they are adjusting to legality, and cited Article 113 of the General Regulations of Coasts, which regulate The authorizations of exploitation of seasonal services.
Regarding the delays, the head of Tourism acknowledged that they have had many problems due to the dissolution of IMSEL, to the problems of the Mar Menor, to the times so tight that usually Demarcation of Coasts to deliver the map of locations of the posts.
On the part of Achica raised the possibility of extending the concessions of last year, but according to Obdulia Gómez, Demarcación de Costas has denied this possibility, even in writing, and that therefore is not possible and procedures must be followed.
About the specifications, while Achica believes that the technical section should be reformulated to give it greater variability, from the Department of Tourism consider that the baremación should be simple, with objective and aseptic criteria.
After the meeting, the Association is studying the possibility of going directly to Demarcación de Costas to pose some shuffling solutions, and they are still studying the possibility of challenging the whole procedure, since the aspirants understand that the lack of publication of the offer in time And form, despite the subsequent cure, is sufficient cause to request nullity.
The Citizens spokesperson says that "we have not yet found a solution that satisfies everyone, but I believe that the positions of both are clearer, and the basis for resolution of this conflict has been established."
