The Informative Commission of the Treasury and Interior unanimously ruled yesterday, unanimously, the initial approval of the ordinance for universal accessibility in the municipality.

Fernando GarcíaOchoa in the year 2010 ".

"
According to Manuel Padín, "it is as of its entry into force when the countdown of one month begins for the constitution of the Commission of Accessibility and Elimination of Architectural, Urbanistic, Transport and Communication Barriers, and the creation of the Technical Office for Accessibility, who has to develop the technical, strategic, management and administrative coordination functions necessary for the implementation of municipal actions. "
"And obviously, in order to carry out this strategy of actions, the first thing that needs to be done is that our amendment be implemented: the updating of the Accessibility Plan to the needs of Cartagena in 2017," Manuel Padín explained, adding that "we already said its time that it is necessary to have a current study of the accessibility status in the municipality, the last one is eight years ago, since only then, once the municipal ordinance is approved and the technical office (OTA) set up, we can really undertake and as a priority, the actions in the most unfavorable spaces, and not to patch up the city, or leaving the works half-way as is being done now. "
According to Citizens, the problems of accessibility are not limited only to Barrio Peral and San Felix, "it is a problem that extends to almost all our neighborhoods and councils, in our last meeting with the neighbors of the Barrio de la Concepción, this was one of his most insistent claims, has also been one of the first claims of our new vocal in the neighborhood of Los Dolores, "Padín explained.
"Without the update, and without the creation of the Commission and the OTA, nothing is going to be done to really reduce the restrictions and obstacles that many members of our citizens face every day," concluded Manuel Padín.
