Cartagena, Thursday, October 19.

The Municipal Group of Citizens in Cartagena has presented in the Ordinary Plenum of the City today held seven initiatives.

In favor of a Professional College of Criminology of Cartagena

The spokesman for the orange formation, Manuel Padin, has defended in the plenary a motion, which has been unanimously approved, so that the City of Cartagena publicly manifests its support for the creation of a Professional College of Criminology in the Region of Murcia.

The second point of the Cs initiative requires that this plenary agreement be transferred to the Regional Assembly, and to the Association of Criminology and Society (CyS) for its knowledge.

Manuel Padín has informed that Cs last week attended several representatives of the Association Criminology and Society and collected this proposal that has presented in the Plenary, "I believe that the criminology sector has much to say and contribute to our society, we are talking plans for prevention of bullying, research and implementation of actions to help post-penitentiary social reintegration, analysis of behaviors that lead to political corruption, among many other fields of action, and I think we are not able to take advantage of all this interdisciplinary knowledge " .

Citizens believe that the creation of this body is of public interest since, on the one hand, and despite having acquired the quality of official studies, today some entities continue to provide training in Criminology that has nothing to do with the official title by which is often generated by unfair competition and a distortion of this labor field.

On the other hand, "the labor situation of criminologists is still very difficult today as they consider that they are not covered by regulation and legal recognition," said Manuel Padín, who assures that "with the creation of this professional college will be giving a very important step to dignify this profession and end its professional limbo. "

Bike lanes in Cartagena

The Citizen spokesman in Cartagena, Manuel Padín, has brought to the plenary session the deficient and third-world state of the bicycle lanes network in the municipality.

Manuel Padín has assured that his Group has been detecting a clamorous lack of maintenance, and has urged that the competent Department to carry out a review by the municipal technicians of the state of the bike lanes of the municipality and proceed to repainting those sections that solve the problems of safety in some sections and undertake campaigns to make the pedestrian aware that he should not use these spaces, among other issues.

The request has been collected by the municipal government.

Marquee at the Los Nietos Viejos stop

For her part, the mayor of the orange formation, Ana Rama, has asked the local government to urge the competent authority to install a marquee at the Los Nietos Viejos stop, as well as perform the corresponding maintenance and cleaning it.

The councilor has contributed several photographs to document his request, "the narrow-gauge railway station (FEVE) of the Old Grandchildren, in addition to being in a state of total abandonment lacks the corresponding marquee so that travelers can take shelter of the effects of the rain or the heat while waiting for the arrival of the train, some neighbors have contacted us to denounce this situation and that is why we have taken it to Plenary today.

Questions

It was prevented to place a flag of Spain in the tower of Park of Firemen

On October 4, the councilor responsible for the area of ​​the Treasury and Interior, Francisco Aznar, refused to meet the request of firefighters to install a flag of Spain in the tower of practices of firefighters, in the Park of Security.

The mayor told the digital newspaper Cartagena de Hoy that "there is already a flag of Spain on the main facade, as in all public buildings."

He added that "I must ensure the plurality and ideology of all, and in this case I have received calls from firefighters who did not agree with this placement of the teaching."

The Citizens' spokesman today asked Councilor for Security, Francisco Aznar, what sensitivities and ideologies the Executive believes may be injured by placing a flag of Spain in the Security Park, in light of what objective criteria the PSOE did not authorize placing the flag, and why it did not convene last September 30 an institutional act in defense of the unity of Spain, freedom, and constitutional principles as required a plenary agreement.

The councilman of the local Executive has not wanted to explain to what sensibilities or ideologies he referred in his statements to the media and has only responded that he is complying with the law, specifically with Law 30/1982, that in the field private, everyone can do what he seems, but in public buildings everything is regulated, and he does not know if his decision has been successful or not but is the one he has taken.

Corporate Social Responsibility, non-compliance

In addition, the spokesman of Cs Cartagena has asked what reasons the local Government has not to have drawn up, as required by a plenary agreement of October 2015, a Sustainability Report, and what actions has the Executive performed for the implementation of Responsibility Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) at City Hall.

On the other hand, in relation to the low score obtained in the study on CSR in the city councils of the University of Murcia (UM) in matters of environmental policy and actions of sustainable tourism, Padín also wanted to know if the municipal government is going to take measures to improve in these sections.

On Friday 29 September, the Chair of CSR of the UM published the results of the first phase of the analysis of the level of corporate social responsibility in the municipalities of Murcia, Lorca, Molina de Segura and Cartagena.

This study reveals that, although Cartagena gets a good note in the financial information section, (8,9), this is not the case with environmental policies and sustainable tourism actions, where the Cartagena City Council suspends with 4.7.

In addition, the study criticizes that the information on the municipal web is very disseminated, that the data is not well elaborated, or that it is necessary to dive too much to access certain relevant information.

The researchers also regretted that Cartagena does not yet have a Corporate Social Responsibility Report.

The Interior Councilor, Francisco Aznar, has admitted the breach of the local government, has referred to all actions in the area of ​​sustainability and social responsibility is being carried out by the City and has committed to develop a report of CSR in 2018. Despite of this commitment, Aznar has refused to answer the rest of the questions.

For its part, Cs councilor Alfredo Nieto has asked if he has already completed the revision of the draft Municipal Ordinance of Universal Accessibility to verify that it corresponds to Law 4/2017 of universal accessibility of the Region of Murcia, in what state is currently the Municipal Ordinance of Universal Accessibility and when it will be presented.

Responsible for answering these questions has been the Socialist Councilor, Carmen Martín del Amor, who has announced that the draft is finished, pending a report from the legal services, and that it will soon be for approval to both the Board of Government and Plenary of the City.
