The mayor of Cartagena, Ana Belén Castejón, has held this Tuesday, January 16, a business breakfast with Juan Antonio Pedreño, president of the Union of Cooperatives of the Region of Murcia.

The councilor has expressed a "love of cooperativism and the social economy in general."

Good cause of it, he explained, Pedreño has because "he knew how to explain and infect us the illusion of this world so fascinating and also so unknown."

Castejón has admitted that this business formula is barely established in the municipality, despite the fact that it has been shown that in times of crisis it is the company formula that has best withstood the economic recession.

To remedy this low business association, from the City of Cartagena, specifically from the area of ​​Economic Strategy, together with the Agency for Local Development and Employment (ADLE), were put to work signing an agreement with the Union of Cooperatives of Associated Work of the Region of Murcia (UCOMUR), which offers aid to cooperatives and also giving access to microcredit assistance.

The mayor explained that this year 2017, from the City Council, has been doing an informative work in the Cartagena society, with a large campaign that will continue to be carried out in 2018, "so that citizens know they can partner between them and that they can start a business differently. "

Ana Belén Castejón recalled the support she has been offering entrepreneurs through the City Council with grants to the Investment Support Plan in the Historic District, PAICA, which helps new businesses with 10,000 euros and also with microcredits up to 3,500 euros, a lost fund, since the City Council is responsible for all interests.

The meeting took place at the headquarters of the Association of Young Entrepreneurs (AJE), to which the mayor has asked for their help to disseminate this business formula.

The City Council is committed to continue helping and giving visibility to cooperativism through the institution.
