- "Maybe we should look for the real reasons why MC, in some way, forced his expulsion from the Government, in his inability to take the reins of the municipal departments that governed," said the local spokesman for Citizens

Cartagena, Thursday, January 11.

The inheritance that MC leaves behind in the Government of Cartagena is a string of unfinished projects that clearly express that this party was never at the operational level that is required of any political formation to assume such important responsibilities for a municipality as the areas of Urbanism, Infrastructure or Treasury, "maybe we should look for the real reasons why MC, in some way, has forced his expulsion from the Government, in his incompetence to take the reins of the municipal departments he governed," said the local spokesman of Cs, Manuel Padín, who warns that "it is not the same to be in the opposition releasing insults that have to manage and make important decisions from the local government, that requires a high dose of responsibility and temperance not to be overwhelmed by circumstances".

"The only person in the MC team that has demonstrated capacity for dialogue and consensus has been the exconcejal of the Treasury, Isabel García, with whom we were able to work and reach very interesting agreements for Cartagena," said Padín.

As reported by the local press, MC has left unfinished the roundabout of the Paseo Alfonso XIII roundabout, the improvement of the Shelter Center for Domestic Animals (amendment of Citizens to 2017 budgets), the lighting in the Ensanche and in La Palma, the remodeling of the Juan Paredes de La Azohía square, a good part of the asphalting plan, the participatory budgeting works of 2016, and the consolidation of the Las Casillas mountain in El Portús, the resurfacing of the Alameda de San Antón, the improvement of Beatas street (amendment of Citizens to the budgets of 2017);

the excavation of the Roman Amphitheater, the improvement of the General Moscardó street in the Albujón or the installation of artificial turf in the soccer fields of La Aljorra, Albujón and La Palma.

"The limited executive capacity of the government was not limited only to the areas of MC, but also those of the PSOE, as is the case of Decentralization that has not been able to carry out the works requested by the neighborhood representatives of the Boards, nor of make the most of your Asphalt Plan ", Padín clarified.

"I think we can qualify the management of MC during the two and a half years in which it has been" harmful "to the interests of Cartagena," said Manuel Padin who has listed some of the 'achievements' of the party that proclaims himself a cartagenerista , "in addition to the inability to execute investments due to poor planning, has achieved a record delay in the granting of work and activity licenses, has deliberately halted for three years the necessary maintenance works in the municipal sewerage network , evacuation and purification of water valued at 4.5 million in total, thus causing discharges in the Algameca, among other problems, has provoked the complaints of the small businessmen of Cartagena for the delays in paying dozens of works, services and supplies to the City Council, Failure to comply with the rules of budgetary stability and financial sustainability has hampered the development of some regional projects

For partisan strategy such as the remodeling of the Central Cinema or the construction of the new school of La Aljorra, has squandered public money on public purchases of doubtful suitability for the general interest as the Hotel Peninsular for which the MC spokesman is being investigated. four crimes of corruption, and as if this were not enough, José López may have done all this by charging public money in a situation of incompatibility, according to a report by the City Council's legal services. "

"Not to mention the damage to the image of Cartagena that have led to the verbal excesses of Lopez while he was mayor and councilor of Government," Padin added, noting that "it is difficult to quantify the millions of euros that the disastrous management of a party that was never prepared to govern and longed to be in opposition, its voters gave it an opportunity to demonstrate its capacity and missed it. "

For Manuel Padín, "tracing the legacy that MC has left will be difficult for the mayor but not impossible, but to achieve this he must have the support of a sufficient majority of the municipal arc and I hope that all the groups prevail the general and superior interest of the citizens of Cartagena "
