- "We are not going to tell the parties that they" govern "what they have to do, that will have to be solved by them, but I would like to remind them that Cartagena faces some extraordinary challenges in 2018, and that will require coordination and generosity of all political groups, "said Cs spokesman Manuel Padín.
- "Everyone will judge us in a year and a half, and I hope we take good note of that sentence, and that by then we have learned at once that above all, we are the servants of the people," says Manuel Padín.
Citizens has informed today through a communiqué that they attend with concern the open war between two parties that should, for the good of Cartagena, coordinate their work areas and walk together developing a plan for joint government, but they do the opposite , "they get in the way, they get stuck, they despise each other, and they accuse each other of blowing up the important projects for Cartagena," said his municipal spokesman, Manuel Padín.
The orange training today has made a public call to responsibility, "we are not going to tell PSOE and MC what they have to do, that should be solved by them, but I would like to remind you that Cartagena has some extraordinary challenges ahead, such as design of the next municipal budgets, the option of receiving a grant from the Ministry of Finance for the Integrated Sustainable Urban Development Strategy "Cartagena 2020" (EDUSI) amounting to about 18.7 million euros until the year 2023, the execution in 2018 of the first phases for the creation of a Logistics Activities Zone in Los Camachos, or the arrival of High Speed ​​to our municipality, and that will require the joint effort of all the political forces of this City Council, because thousands are at stake of jobs and our future. "
"We said the first day, we also warned that this could only get worse as the election year of 2019 approaches. This political marriage, without forgetting its famous sponsors who made it possible as is Podemos, has not worked. Trying some internal animosity would almost stop caring, but no, this fight of political egos has direct and real consequences in the daily life of Cartagena, and in the development of this municipality, "lamented Manuel Padín who has given some examples, "the monumental delay to grant building permits, to pay invoices to our suppliers, the very low level of execution of municipal projects, the state of abandonment of our parks and gardens, the loss of millions of European aid for the Historic District, the dirt of our streets, the frustration of neighborhoods and councils when they hit the wall of technical authorizations to make the small
as works, the already legendary inability to lower the receipt of water to families, poor political management to make the new school of La Aljorra a reality, and so we could continue, but ultimately, what happens is that the parties govern Cartagena never put the interests of Cartagena before their political and partisan phobias, they have not understood that above any other consideration must be Cartagena, and then Cartagena. "
The spokesman of the orange training ensures that "it would have been much worse if Citizens, knowing what was happening, would not have decided to do everything on their part to stop further economic growth and block the creation of jobs, can you imagine that Our Group would have done the same as Podemos and PP and would not have allowed the budgets of 2016 and 2017 to go ahead? Do you imagine that the new public offer of employment, or the payment of overtime to the brigades and police, or that the few projects that have been carried out have been executed. Can you imagine that we did not specify through our amendments the public investments this year? ".
The Cs spokesman considers it inevitable to think "of the people of Cartagena who are still desperately looking for a job, of those who have it and leave their heads to avoid losing it. What will they think of the local politicians when they read the newspaper in the morning? What will they say about the leaders of this City Council who seem more worried about releasing the most striking and childish barbarity in a Plenary? ",
"Everyone will be judged within a year and a half, and I hope we take good note of that sentence, and that by then we have learned once and for all that we are the servants of the people," says Manuel Padín.
