"While we wait for the results of the analyzes carried out, there are simple actions that can be done immediately, today we have learned that the Councilor of Education informed the parents yesterday that he will fulfill one of his demands, which is to limit part of the School yard where their children attend class, but of course, this has done after 37 days since we all learned that this possible health risk existed, does not seem like a reasonable reaction time, "Padin explained.

Manuel Padín has listened with alarm to the data and indicators that the neighbors have calculated (number of shops, level of unemployment, population) and that they say only one thing: "El Llano del Beal is sick and a multidisciplinary shock treatment has to be applied In order to survive, I have undertaken with them to carry out in a few days a visit with the regional deputies of Citizens to analyze in detail the economic, social and environmental problems that this area of ​​Cartagena suffers and to establish a comprehensive plan for its recovery, It will not be easy, but you have to start working right now.
