- The Citizens spokesman in Cartagena considers that it is the lack of coordination and the lack of a joint government program the main cause of abandonment of the parks and gardens of the municipality or that there is a common strategy to reduce the price of water.
Cartagena, Tuesday, August 22.
The Municipal Group of Citizens regrets the new episode of division between the parties that make up the Government of Cartagena.
According to the spokesperson for the orange formation in Cartagena, Manuel Padín, "despite the efforts of the mayor Ana Belén Castejón to appear institutional normality that has never existed, the truth ends up prevailing and jumping to the media of Regular way in time ".
For Manuel Padín, "we knew, and we have been denouncing it almost since the beginning of the legislature, that the parties of MC and PSOE are unable even to build a minimum alliance in the different areas of work to develop a uniform government program And consistent, and a short, medium and long-term multidisciplinary plan for Cartagena. "
Padín believes that work is being carried out "by improvisation and in an uncoordinated manner, which ends up being expressed through the paralysis of many cultural projects, the inability to reach agreements with the large concessionaires operating in the municipality, the delay Of many tenders or in the expiration of many large public contracts such as those related to the conservation and maintenance of parks and gardens of the municipality.
"As we have been able to read in the press today, they are not even able to agree on the most basic issues, such as a common and coordinated agenda of activities and assistance to different institutional acts, instead of working together For the sake of Cartagena they fight like children to see who goes out and who is missing in the photo, and they accuse each other of disloyalty and of being damaging the municipal representation, even between a delegated councilor and an area councilor in the same Council ", has Lamented Manuel Padin, who describes all this lack of control of "nonsense that rubs the absurd and generates not only embarrassment of others but also alarm, because those who pay these cockfights are the Cartagena."
Regarding the information published today by the newspaper La Verdad about the total abandonment of the Park of Juncos, but also that of San Ginés de la Jara, or the children's areas of the Plaza del Rey or Vallejo Park Arberola, the Citizens' spokesperson, said: "Citizens have never been content to point out the mistakes or negligence of the municipal government, but we have tried to add and build."
In this regard, Manuel Padín recalled that more than five months ago, the Plenum unanimously approved the motion presented by his group to proceed to the general review of all parks and children's areas of the municipality in the face of the poor state of many Of them, and also that the local executive would develop a specific municipal ordinance to collect European regulations on safety in playgrounds, including accessibility and integration measures for children with mental or physical disabilities, "as opposition we arrive as far as we arrive , And without the proper execution response of the PSOE and MC Government, plenary agreements are useless, except to sell smoke, and people on the street are more than fed up with so much plenary approval of things that in the end are not made ".
