- "The Government of Cartagena announced with great fanfare the creation of this Council of Commerce and sold it as a very important commitment to boost the sector but the truth is that we have been six months since the last session and have only given us a few brief explanations, but little else, we have important questions such as analyzing how we do the week of small business, or the Plan to recover the Gisbert Market, which we promoted in the Plenary and which we consider a priority, "said the Cs spokesman.
Cartagena, Tuesday November 14-.
The Group of Citizens in Cartagena today deplored the inactivity of the Municipal Council of Commerce.
The orange training recalled that in the plenary of last April an agreement was reached to raise to this body the proposal that Cartagena submit its candidacy as Spanish Capital of Gastronomy for 2018. This motion was approved unanimously by the Corporation.
"Despite the fact that at the beginning of July from Ciudadanos we informed the local Executive that the deadline for submission of candidatures for this award ended shortly, and despite the fact that a meeting of the Council was convened for September 8 to discuss our participation, the session was not held due to the failure of the representatives due to urgent agenda problems of the parties that make up the Executive, "explained the spokesman for Citizens in Cartagena, Manuel Padín, who considers that" we lost a great opportunity to energize our commercial fabric. "
As if this were not enough, almost two months have passed since the suspension of the meeting of this Local Council of Commerce, "and we have no record that it will be convened soon, although there are important issues to be addressed, such as the giving of accounts of the two commissions that make up this organism, the one of Commercial Dynamization and the one of Infrastructures, and also the state of some projects approved in the Plenary as the recovery of the Gisbert Market, or the celebration of the Week of the Small Commerce, both initiatives at the proposal of Citizens ", explained Manuel Padín.
Ciudadanos has informed that it will take to the next municipal Plenary several questions to know what is happening with that body of participation, and when the Government of Cartagena plans to fill it with content to start working.
"The Government of Cartagena announced with great fanfare the creation of this Council of Commerce and sold it as a very important commitment to revitalize the sector but the truth is that we have been six months since the last session and have only given us a few brief explanations , but little else, we have important issues such as analyzing how we do the week of small business, or the Plan to recover the Gisbert Market, which we promoted in the Plenary and which we consider a priority, "said the Cs spokesman.
