- "This is one of the most scandalous examples of the lack of executive capacity of the Government of Cartagena, it is embarrassing and there is no excuse to justify that in two years has not completed the study of technical and economic feasibility that a plenary mandate forced to execute As soon as possible ... in September of year 2015, "said the spokesman of Citizens in Cartagena, Manuel Padín.
Cartagena, Friday, August 25th.
The Municipal Citizens Group today recalled that it was in September 2015, almost two years ago, when the Plenum of the City of Cartagena unanimously approved to launch as soon as possible a complete study of technical feasibility and financial costs for the implementation of A municipal Wi-Fi network that would allow different areas and areas of the city to be covered in different phases, in order to achieve universal access.
"This is one of the most scandalous examples of the lack of executive capacity of the Government of Cartagena, it is a shame and there is no excuse to justify that in two years has not completed the study of technical and economic feasibility that the plenary mandate of September Of 2015 forced to execute, "has recriminated the spokesman of Citizens in Cartagena, Manuel Padin, who also does not understand that" has not yet implemented in Cartagena, eminently tourist city, the installation of areas with Wi-Fi coverage in public spaces and places of interest Of the city, it does not even exist in the City Hall of Cartagena, or in the Consistorial Palace or the Administrative Building of San Miguel, we want to be a smart city, a smart city, and this Government team, along with the previous one that also has Its share of guilt, still installed in the twentieth century.
"Every time someone asks us how it is possible that in a city as important as ours, municipal centers or main public spaces do not have wifi or private or public coverage, it hurts and disgusts us," said Manuel Padin, who reports that " The excuse given since June 2016 has been that it is one of the measures included in the Smart City project, but that master plan, which is necessary and we have always supported it, can not serve to park without date or budget measures as Necessary and unforeseeable as this one ".
More than eight years ago, Cartagena did enjoy a Wi-Fi zone in Cavite's Heroes Square, even projecting its expansion towards Plaza Juan XXIII and Parque de los Juncos.
However, in 2010, the City of Cartagena, then governed by the PP, eliminated these areas, causing a digital blackout in the city.
Currently, our city has no public outdoor network to connect to the Internet without cables.
The Citizens spokesperson in Cartagena, Manuel Padín, believes that "this will be a measure to contribute to an added value that, besides improving the quality of life of the neighbors, will mean offering a service that today is essential for the daily tasks of our Public workers, an attraction for the tourists who visit us and an undoubted increase in local business opportunities.Indeed, if Cartagena wants to continue positioning itself as a tourist destination of the first order, it must have an urban Wi-Fi network that can be used by our neighbors and our tourists ".
Due to all the above, this Municipal Group will raise a question at the next Municipal Plenary to know why the local Government, since September 2015, has not fulfilled the commitments of the motion to implement free and universal wifi in public spaces of Cartagena And when it intends to comply. "
