- The mayor of Ciudadanos, Ana Rama, recalled that three years ago the previous government team committed to create a specific ordinance to protect all monumental trees and that this document would be in force in 2015, "for What was seen all was in the water of borage when PSOE and MC came to the Government, and neither did these parties want to continue the work that had begun and that ordinance was left in the limbo where all projects are not finished when a transition occurs In political power ".

- "We want to update the Catalog of Protection of Monumental Trees and Arboreal Set of Cartagena and serve as a basis for designing a specific ordinance, and in the short term we want the City Council to identify through signage the different tree species, shrubs and native species in the Main parks of the municipality and throughout the old town, so as to promote knowledge and education about respect for the nature of which we are an inseparable part, "explained the councilor.

The Councilor of Citizens in the City of Cartagena, Ana Rama, will ask at the next municipal plenary that the government team complies with the Law 14/2016 Heritage of Monumental Trees of the Region of Murcia.

This legislation aims to protect our monumental trees and has a positive approach based on the importance of its conservation, its social impact, the benefits it offers to society.

In this sense, the councilor of the orange formation believes that public administrations must ensure preservation through stimulus policies.

According to Rama, since the Catalog of Protection of Monumental Trees and Arboreal Semblings of Cartagena was presented on April 4, 2014, the Government has not updated or enriched its contents, "it was, as was said at the time, a An open document in which citizens can be involved to collaborate in its edition but both the previous government and the current government have ignored it and has not offered the necessary tools for citizens to contribute their bit.

Ana Rama recalled that three years ago the previous government team committed to using this catalog base to create a specific ordinance for the purpose of protecting all these trees and that this regulatory document would be in force in 2015, "so Everything was left in the water of borage when PSOE and MC came to the government, and neither did these parties want to continue the work that had begun and that ordinance has been left in the limbo where the unfinished projects are found when there is a transition of power political".

For Ana Rama, "the municipal ordinance should serve to plan the management and planning of urban trees, ensure their protection, conservation, promotion, research and development of monumental tree heritage of local interest."

For Ana Rama it is "essential" to have a normative framework that establishes the general criteria of protection and orient future actions, "from here, we can develop a specific protection plan, and establish actions depending on whether or not it is soil Urban consolidated and urban development, and will serve to distinguish the management of the municipal trees from the obligations of private owners.

The council also wants tree species and native species are identified by posters, "in the main parks of the municipality and throughout the old town, so that we foster through knowledge and education respect for the nature of which we are part indissoluble".

"We have seen what has happened to the great ficus of Plaza Santo Domingo de Murcia, and we are witnessing the increase in temperatures, we need to protect this natural heritage," said Rama.

For all the above, the Municipal Citizens Group will present in the next Regular Plenary a motion to update the Catalog of Protection of Monumental Trees and Arboreal Semblings of Cartagena, to initiate the procedures to design a specific ordinance for the protection and development of the tree heritage Monumental site based on the updated catalog, and place signage identifying the different tree species and native species in the main parks of the municipality and throughout the old town.
