- Citizen spokesman, Manuel Padín, has pointed out that the mayor of Cartagena, "blindly trusts that his crude strategy of communication, attributed to the sentiment of Cartagena and historical symbols as the flag of the sea, will be sufficient to conceal from citizens the Lack of MC project, loss of subsidies, lack of investments and excuse their imputation for corruption crimes, but López underestimates our neighbors who only have to walk around the city to realize that this government sponsored by Podemos has not Done absolutely nothing ".
- "We do not want to be accused of corruption in the presidency of the Autonomous Community, nor in the Government of Cartagena, and the only real way in which opposition parties can avoid it is conditioning their support in the investiture plenary and in the And we understand that PSOE and We have included in their ethical codes this premise, and that both will have the will to comply with article 54 of the Transparency Law, we do not contemplate another short-term scenario that A government team clean of suspicions of corruption, "Padín reported.
Two years after populist circuses, to put personal interests above Cartagena, after hundreds of blows in the chest, and an insatiable hunger for protagonism, the Councilor for Citizen Movement, José López, formally resigned to his position Of mayor and president of the City council of Cartagena.
It leaves the charge imputed by four corruption crimes without having made a single investment of draft in the municipality, except the purchase of the old Hotel Peninsular for which it will have to answer to justice.
According to the spokesman for Citizens in Cartagena, Manuel Padín, "it did not seem possible, but it has left Cartagena worse than it was in 2015, the unemployment figures are still scandalous, the deterioration of the districts and councils has continued unscathed , Has lost € 201,000 in aid to the unemployed in 2016 and has lost European aid from Edusi funds, € 15 million needed to revive the old town for insisting on a project that had previously been rejected " .
The Citizens' spokesman has pointed out that the mayor of Cartagena "blindly trusts that his crude communication strategy, attributing Cartagena's sentiment and historical symbols as the maritime flag, will suffice to hide from citizens the lack of MC project , The loss of subsidies and excuse their imputation for crimes of corruption, but López underestimates our neighbors who only have to walk around the city to realize that this government sponsored by Podemos has done absolutely nothing.
"We respect and love the flag of the maritime province, we work for the rehabilitation of the Old Cathedral and believe in the Administrative District of the Region of Cartagena as the most, and whoever says otherwise lies deliberately but he and his palm trees informationally intoxicate day After day to make believe the contrary without knowing, perhaps, that the cartageneros do not let themselves be deceived by those tactics more typical of a Bolivarian state than of a liberal, democratic, and European city, "Padin said.
Manuel Padín believes that Lopez has managed in these two years to "caricature the image of Cartagena and become the laughing stock of half Spain, never understanding the difference between a 'political adversary' and an 'enemy' and the result of that ignorance has destroyed All the bridges with the Port Authority, the regional government, and the Government of Spain, whether we like it or not, are those that decide a good part of the investments and the future of Cartagena. "
In the opinion of the mayor of Ciudadanos, "if Cartagena has not sunk and continues to walk has been because Citizens put above any other interest the welfare of citizens and supported budgets in 2016 and negotiated and approved those of 2017 with the inclusion of Amendments amounting to € 1,250,000. "
The least, says Manuel Padin, are his exabrutos and disqualifications, "I do not care if you call me cortito, zote or that I link in public statements to the guild of prostitution or pretend to dirty the memory of my work by the grouping of San Pedro Every time I exercise my obligation to oversee his decisions as mayor, I am more concerned that he has failed to meet his main electoral promises, such as the lowering of IBI or the price of water, or that his attitude is destroying the possibility of forming an administrative district for And to make it difficult for the Camachos Logistics Activities Zone, which may involve thousands of direct and indirect jobs, to be a reality by looking at what is done or not done in the city of Murcia".
"It has not even been able to initiate a long-term strategic plan for tourism, or for the generation of employment," Padín lamented.
Cs wants an unattributed government
"We offered the PSOE a document with 30 measures that we consider basic to strengthen our productive fabric, to encourage employment, tourism, and to protect people at risk of social exclusion, and whose first point is the commitment that there is no No one investigated for crimes of corruption in the Government team, "said the spokesman of Cs who has revealed that" that document has not been signed by Ana Belén Castejón today. "
Padín has said that he does not want "to be accused of corruption in the presidency of the Autonomous Community, nor in the Government of Cartagena, and the only real way in which opposition parties can avoid it is conditioning their support in the full investiture And in the constitution of government areas, as well as understand that PSOE and We have included in this ethical codes this premise, and that both will have the will to comply with Article 54 of the Transparency Law, we do not contemplate another scenario to Short term that a government team clean of suspicion by corruption ".
