- Orange training proposes that the Government promote the creation of a system that can monitor minor contracts so that these irregular practices can be detected before they are carried out.

On the occasion of what was published today by the newspaper La Verdad in which it is claimed that the Prosecutor's Office of Cartagena has initiated a criminal investigation to analyze whether the City divided and awarded between 2015 and 2017 dozens of smaller contracts to avoid the negotiated procedure to three companies allegedly linked to the MC party, the spokesperson for Citizens in Cartagena, Manuel Padín, recalled that "we could not or wanted to position ourselves when we found out because we did not know if the Prosecutor's Office had opened proceedings for a complaint that was presented anonymously, and because We did not know the details of the accusations. "

"Now the situation has changed, someone has sent us to our municipal offices (also anonymously) a letter with the complaint and we have learned that the prosecutor has considered that there are reasons to open an investigation", explained Manuel Padín.

"We hope that the City of Cartagena actively collaborates with the justice from this moment, and we believe that these doubts reaffirm the old claim of our Group and is that the Government should promote the creation of a system that can monitor minor contracts which are carried out in such a way that we can detect these irregular practices before they are carried out, we believe it is a necessary preventive measure that is being applied successfully in other Spanish consistories ", informed the Cs spokesperson who considers that" the mayoress of Cartagena, in addition to collaborating with the justice, must initiate an investigation of internal character and give account to all the political groups of its development ".

The orange training spokesman asked "how will the MC's code of ethics be, if we are talking about a person who is being investigated for four crimes of corruption for the purchase of the Hotel Peninsular, which is now being investigated for fractioning contracts to favor to companies linked to his person, and that apparently could have done all this irregularly charging his salary ... when should according to the code of ethics of his party leave office? What else has to do? asks Manuel Padín.

"To see if it is going to turn out that the problem José López had with former mayor Pilar Barreiro was that he envied his way of doing politics," said Padín.

On the other hand, the Cs spokesman recalled that the new Law on Contracts of the Public Sector is about to enter into force, which among other measures, will include the requirement of motivated reports for all minor contracts and professionalize the recruitment tables, "The City Council has to catch up now to comply with the new regulations that I am sure will prevent future suspicions and complaints of this type."
