- "Ciudadanos is probably the party that most desires to overthrow the extension until 2042 and the one that has the most moral authority to ask for it, but it will do so at the opportune moment, that is, when there is a final ruling that links the decision of the 2004 Plenary. with the criminal acts studied by the judge of Lugo in the Pokémon case, as recommended by the legal and economic services of the City Council, "said the local spokesman of Cs, Manuel Padín

The spokesman of Citizens in Cartagena, Manuel Padín, has received this week in his municipal offices of the Consistorial Palace representatives of the Association of People Affected by Public Services of Cartagena (Asepucar), to address the appeal presented by a group of neighbors in 2004 against the extension of the contract to the concessionaire company of the municipal service of potable water supply.

The meeting was requested by Asepucar during the informative talk about water management in the municipalities that this association organized in Torreciega and that was attended by the spokesperson for Citizens in Lorca, Antonio Meca.

With respect to the resource of the neighbors, the spokesman of Cs Cartagena, said that "it is strange that this resource has been rescued now, after so many years, during which nobody responded, neither the PP nor the former mayor, José López, when they governed. "

Manuel Padín recalled that López did not even want to respond to his own recourse in the same sense when the Mayor's office.

The local spokesman also recalled that the mayor of Cartagena, as published today, has already answered in a negative way to this resource.

Manuel Padín explained to the members of Asepucar the position of Citizens in this matter, "we will not be those who condemn the Cartagena to pay millions of euros in compensation if we precipitate the cancellation of the extension, especially when that is what advise the legal and economic services of the City Council, and when we also know that an external audit has concluded that, in general, the concessionaire of the municipal water service, Hidrogea, does not breach the terms of the contract, as reported by the newspaper La Verdad few days".

The spokesman has assured that "Cs is the party that most wishes to overthrow the extension until 2042 and is probably the one with the most moral authority to ask for it, but it will do so at the opportune moment, that is, when there is a final judgment that links the decision of the Plenary of 2004 with the criminal acts studied by the judge of Lugo in the Pokémon case, at that precise moment the extension will be null and void and the City Council will be able to take the necessary measures without risk to any claim on the part of Hidrogea ".

For Manuel Padín, "the alleged plot of water has already been denounced and is judicialized, now we have to wait and respect the times of justice that I am sure will put everyone where it deserves, but it is important that in the meantime, we work and try to improve the service offered by this company, monitor that scrupulously fulfills its obligations and lower the price of water to relieve the pocket of the neighbors, a question that has already been approved by the Board of Government but has not yet been applied.

Ciudadanos is clear that "the City must monitor every euro and every service of the concessionaires, both the one that manages the water and others, as well as the one that manages the cleaning and the treatment of waste in the municipality, and for that reason it seems positive, opportune and it is necessary that the Contract Observatory be born as soon as possible ".
