- "With no headlines and promises, the mayor of Cartagena has been unable to finish a single project in two years, we only have to walk through our city, through our historic center, visit our districts and councils to see that Cartagena remains the same or Worse than in June of 2015 ", has lamented Citizen spokesman Cartagena, Manuel Padín.
The Municipal Citizens Group has today questioned the management and planning of municipal investments in Cartagena.
His spokesman, Manuel Padín, has pointed out that it is "very difficult for us to believe that we are going to do in six months what has not been done in two years", thus referring to the investment program valued at 15 million Euros announced a few days ago by the mayor of Cartagena, José López.
"I do not know if they are celebrating the reckless lack of execution of investments that should have been made by the end of 2015, in 2016 or during the first six months of 2017, or trying to sell that lack of program and project is a triumph for the Economic management of Cartagena ".
According to Manuel Padín, "except for headlines and promises, the government has been unable to complete a single project, we just have to walk around our city, our historic center, visit our neighborhoods and councils to see that Cartagena remains the same or worse than in June Of 2015 ".
The main consequence of having a populist mayor is that economic activity does not recover.
Manuel Padín asks "what project has the mayor completed, what has he done besides constructing a roundabout and buying with 500,000 euros from all Cartagenaans a pension that is the subject of a commission of investigation and that is seeded with suspicions by the celeridad of the Operation, "the Government of Jose Lopez has been unable in two years to invest in Cartagena, have failed to follow the strategies of the Department of Finance to reduce the debt of the City Council, something we value positively, with the necessary investment needed by a municipality Like ours and that is leaving us behind. "
For Manuel Padín, "for many years Cartagena families were impoverished during the economic crisis, many of them suffered a significant reduction in their quality of life and many of our young people had to pack before the black and pessimistic panorama they saw for The precariousness, the wastefulness, the distrust in our institutions and the roll of a decadent management paid the ground for germinating the seeds of right-wing and left-wing populism whose political action is limited to stirring the emotions, appropriating the Symbols of all Cartagena, foment division among populations and ignore the truth and self-criticism. "

"
"The sidewalks are still in bad shape, lack zebra crossings and bike lanes and is even dangerous in some stretches, it is a historical claim of the Cartagena and, after many breaches of the current and the past corporation, must be addressed because Thanks to Cs, we finally have the necessary budgetary reserve ".
