Cartagena, Monday, November 6.

The councilors of the Municipal Group of Citizens in the City of Cartagena today gave their support in the extraordinary session of the Plenary to the opinion of the Finance and Interior Commission, as proposed by the councilor of the Department of Finance and Interior, in relation to the modification of the Chapter I "Personnel Expenses", of the 2017 Budget, for the hours of the Special Dedication Scheme and the opinion of the Finance Commission in relation to the modification of the 2017 Budget, to subsidize the Cartagena Football Club, SAD.

The spokesman for Citizens in Cartagena, Manuel Padín, said in his speech that "we have decided to support this budget modification because we understand that it is necessary to cover and pay for the extra hours that our police and firefighters must perform, and our cleaning brigades ... It is important Let's remember what the unions have said: It is preferable to pay them now and not delay the collection of workers, or start mortgaging the 2018 budget ... that is, or we do it now, or we do it later, but we have to do it " .

Despite his favorable vote, Manuel Padín criticized the local government for its lack of foresight in spending, "we can not let go that this measure is the direct consequence of a disastrous planning of spending by the Government, which is now seen forced to cut off items that were committed to the settlement of roads, the maintenance of gardens and public buildings ... improvements that will not be made even though they are very necessary ... Vote today in favor of this budget modification is the lesser evil in an undesirable situation Citizens today puts coherence and responsibility back where some have put a bad forecast of spending and other political opportunism, we have very clear that workers do not have to pay for the mismanagement of some politicians.

The orange training spokesman has called for not having to resort to more budget modifications to pay more hours RED, "we have to find a way to increase as soon as possible the staff of the cleaning brigades and how to increase the seats firefighters and municipal police ... We must address this deficit of our staff as soon as possible, and occupy those vacancies and foresee the upcoming retirements ... Because we are very afraid that as we continue like this the situation will become critical.We can not exploit more our police and firefighters. "

"I hope that at least this serves to learn and that this nonsense does not happen again ... And without a doubt, if the water goes down, and we have to negotiate the next budgets, it will be one of our demands", assured the Cs spokesperson .

Cross of accusations with the councilman of Podemos

The councilor of CTSSP-Podemos, Francisco Martínez, has blamed in part the spokesman for Citizens for this modification and for the lack of foresight of the Government for its support for the 2017 budgets. Manuel Padín has responded that "indeed, we voted in favor of some budgets, like you did in 2015 to later want to accept some allegations and charge them ... And we had to get there to sustain some budgets already under way to support governance, for consistency ".

"The following year we also supported the budgets, in exchange for some amendments that we continue to pursue until they are finished, as we are doing for example with the improvement of Beatas street and adjacent streets, and how we are doing to achieve pedestrianization in the Hospital of Santa Lucia that has been extended with other issues as a parking deterrent that will be very beneficial for the citizens, that is, useful and constructive policy, "recalled the spokesman for Citizens who has called the councilor of CTSSP-Podemos "You have to see the lack of memory you have ... if you have the key and the solution of all this, have you forgotten that it was you who came down the stairs holding the staff of the Mayor's office, supporting and naming this government? Have you forgotten that you are the ones who support this government? Have you thought that the people of Cartagena will forget that you are the ones who maintain this government?

Do they want to pay the consequences Cartagena, that budgets are not approved?

That the Government is hanged ?, but Who are we really hanging?

I am going to say it to myself: To the workers and to the Cartagena people and to the economy of this city.

We are not going to go there, we do think about the consequences, we do not say yes, and then a no, or no and then a yes, and if we abstain it is because we have to think and listen to people, those who pay for the duck, the citizens. "

Grant for the FC.

Cartagena

Regarding the modification of the budget to subsidize Football Club Cartagena, Manuel Padín, says that "the renewal of the lawn after thirty years was necessary, and we understand that here has intervened both the Autonomous Community, the City Council and the Federation, between other things, to the calendar of first level events that we had ahead, like the game against Sevilla FC and the visit of the Spanish national team U21 in November, and therefore we have voted favorably ".

Despite the support, Manuel Padín wanted to make clear that "we must always monitor the relevant channels on issues like this, because it is not understood and I think a lack of respect for the plenary, that first reach an agreement for this commitment, and then the Plenary must validate that departure, and not the other way around ".

"In the Finance and Interior Commission, being present the municipal intervener, it was confirmed that there was no irregularity, and we understood one thing very clear, we had two important events ... and without looking at the color of who presides this City Council, when it comes to of our city, if we have to support urgently we do it, and more when the regional government itself is supporting with an economic amount, in short, we saw sufficient transparency with the time we had "explained the spokesman of Cs Cartagena
