- The spokesman of Cs, Manuel Padín, has also criticized the recent statements of the mayor in which he claimed that the City Council has few powers in this field, "that is not what he said when he was spokesman of the PSOE in Cartagena in 2015 and criticized the Government of the Popular Party for focusing too much on the tourist question and affirmed that "unemployment data reflected the errors of the municipal government policies".

- Orange training insists: one of its conditions to support budgets is to start as soon as possible a great Pact for Employment

The City of Cartagena today presented the second day 'Second Journey of Employment', to boost youth employment in Cartagena, prevent inactivity and youth unemployment and disseminate the National Youth Guarantee System, an initiative funded by the European Social Fund.

Orange spokesman Manuel Padín, regretted that these initiatives are not accompanied by a firm commitment to employment by the Government of Cartagena, "we deeply regret that the Local Employment Board has not met again since the month April 2017, even though it should have been done quarterly ".

Manuel Padín also recalled that the mayor of Cartagena, Ana Belén Castejón, accepted the proposal of our Group and announced a year ago the development of a Strategic Plan for Employment for Cartagena and its Region, and that this would be based on the analysis of the municipality that the UPCT elaborated for the COEC and the report on the Smart City of the City Council, "a year later we continued where we were, not even the objectives have been set or work has been done in the calendar of actions to fulfill them, for that reason one of the conditions to give our support to the municipal budgets of this year, is to start as soon as possible a great Pact for Employment ".

The Cs spokesman has also criticized the recent statements of the mayor in which he claimed that the City has few powers in that field, "that is not what he said when he was spokesman of the PSOE in Cartagena in 2015 and criticized the Popular Party Government focusing too much on the tourism issue and affirming that "the unemployment data reflected the errors of the municipal government's policies." "Now that she commands the municipal government she says that they have few competences in the employment sector;

it's the kind of political incoherence that many of us are fed up with. "

Manuel Padin considers it "essential that all contributions that are poured into the Local Table for Employment are included in an ambitious strategic plan that must have the express agreement of all, with the signature of all the members and whose actions should be valued and measures with their corresponding economic heading, which should be included in the upcoming municipal budgets ".

In this municipal body all political groups are represented, the Institute of Development, the Employment and Training Service, the Regional Confederation of Business Organizations (COEC), the Chamber of Commerce of Cartagena, the Agency for Local Development and Employment, UGT, Comisiones Obreras, the UPCT and the UNED.

"The short-term actions are still necessary, but we should not settle for that, we should look a little further, and ask ourselves how we want to grow in the next three or four years, and what we have to do to achieve it."

The spokesman of Cs warns that "this strategy must have the necessary consensus so that it is not affected by possible changes in government, and once completed should be included in turn in another strategic plan of greater scope to define what model of city we want for the next ten or fifteen years. "

Citizens expect the Government of Cartagena to take seriously the Employment Desk;

the training has already prepared a battery of proposals to be developed and could be applied by the local Administration to encourage employability, develop the productive fabric, clearly bet on those companies and projects that invest in technology and innovation, measures for protection, guidance and reconversion of the unemployed over 45 years and to combat youth unemployment.

"We are clear that we want and can be decisive in this Table, but if they do not call it little or nothing we can do".
