District 2 (29);

District 3 (25);

District 4 (69);

District 5 (20), District 6 (21) and District 7 (44).

Participatory Budgets

Last year began the pilot experience of the first Participatory Budgets of the City of Cartagena.

It is an initiative of the councilor of Finance, Isabel García (MC Cartagena), to give space, for the first time in our municipality, to the opinion of the neighbors, giving them a voice and vote in making decisions regarding the definition of priorities

One of the measures introduced this year at the proposal of MC is the organization of assemblies with neighborhood groups of the municipality to institutionalize a way of prioritizing proposals that leads to an effective and accurate screen. That selection will finally pass the filter of technical criteria to determine its definitive inclusion before the start of the voting period.
