- "The Community wanted to make us believe that the business community of Cartagena was not committed to the future of the ZAL, when in fact there was this interest and the only thing lacking was the political will to bet on the entrepreneurs of Cartagena," said the deputy Regional Luis Fernández
- Citizens have recalled that the Community abandoned its immobility following its amendment to the Community Budgets of 2016 to design a feasibility study of the ZAL and that this year another amendment of the orange formation will get installed there the first infrastructure Of the Logistics Zone: the French Deposit of Saint Lucia
Citizens have always defended that the interest of the businessmen of the region for the Logistics Activities Zone of Cartagena was something evident.
The orange formation still recalls the unfortunate statements of the exconsejero de Fomento, Francisco Bernabé, stating that, contrary to what happened in the city of Murcia, there were no companies that pledged to contribute capital for the future Logistics Activities Zone in Cartagena.
Citizens could verify since the beginning of the legislature and after many meetings and events to promote this logistics area that this statement was far removed from reality.
"The Community wanted to make us believe that the business fabric of Cartagena was not committed to the future of the ZAL, when in fact there was this interest and the only thing lacking was the political will to bet on the entrepreneurs of Cartagena," said regional deputy Luis Fernández.
The Citizens' deputy said that "it took ten years to understand its viability and the great demand for business, now we know that there was not only interest, but a wave of unprecedented expectation, in February committed to invest in The ZAL 50 companies in the region, and now there are more than 250, according to information provided by the Directorate General of Transport, Coasts, and Ports.
"Unlike the regional government of the PP, in Citizens we have opted from the beginning for this logistical structure, and not only with a mere declaration of intentions but with verifiable objective facts, with legislative initiatives in the Regional Assembly and in the City of Cartagena "Said Luis Fernández.
Citizens recalls that nothing was being done to promote the Logistics Activities Area "until our training proposed an amendment to the Community's General Budgets of 2016 to carry out a new feasibility study, and from this initiative the Community finally reacted And went to work after almost a decade of immobility, "has complained the regional deputy.
Thanks to the feasibility study promoted by Citizens, the requests of the companies, the square meters they need to set up their businesses, the services they need and the connections to railway infrastructures essential for the project's profitability have been collected.
An amendment of Citizens provided the transfer of the French Deposit from Saint Lucia
Citizens also managed that this year the Community reserved 500,000 euros for the transfer of the Deposit Franco of Cartagena from Santa Lucia to Los Camachos.
Luis Fernández considers that "the transfer of the Deposit to the Industrial Park of Los Camachos is the germ of the future ZAL of Cartagena, this infrastructure will be the first to be installed in the area, so that logistics and transport companies operating in the municipality Gain space.
On the other hand, Luis Fernández has reminded that this "transfer will have another effect since the land in which it is currently being transformed into an area of ​​endowment of public spaces for the peripheral neighborhoods, something that is very desirable since it is an area With an ample demand of public equipment ".
Cycle of conferences on the Zones of Activities in the next months
Citizens is not satisfied and still wants to push more the defense of the ZAL in the Polygon of Los Camachos;
For that reason the Municipal Group of Citizens managed that the Plenum of the City council approved a motion so that the local Government organizes and impels a cycle of conferences on the Logistic Activities Zones of Spain in Cartagena.
It was the Chamber of Commerce of Cartagena that said that now the important thing is to generate expectations and mobilize companies to bet on the project, "and to achieve this goal Citizens are already working, in collaboration with the local Administration, to create in The coming months a forum in which experts, entrepreneurs and promoters of logistics zones throughout Spain can guide Cartagena in the process of creating the ZAL and positively promote its benefits among our business ecosystem, "explained the spokesman of Citizens in Cartagena, Manuel Padín.
