Which would lead us, after the Court of Auditors' request, to the possibility of not receiving contributions from the State, that is to say, access to subsidies and public subsidies. "
For the local Citizens' spokesman, "the approval of the accounts has been extended in time by personal disputes, misunderstandings, and we, instead of enrocaros in a posture that the only thing that entails is the paralysis of Cartagena we have meeting with technicians, with the Government, with Intervention and with all the intervening agents without looking for any conflict, only looking for precise criteria to be able to have it clear and vote with conscience.

Manuel Padín also said that "from our Group we do not understand the rush that some have to close this company, the qualifications of the audit report are nuances that must be taken into account, of course, but we must remember that the accounts have already been approved with qualifications in the previous year.
