- "Castejón would do well to draw his character and end once and for all with the innumerable interruptions, the breach of the time limit in the interventions, the endless political rallies, the exits of tone, and the personal attacks that take place in the Plenary Hall. ", has indicated the spokesman of Cs Cartagena
- The Orange Training is considering requesting that the Plenary be divided into two sessions tomorrow to facilitate its monitoring by citizens and the work of the media
The Municipal Group of Citizens in Cartagena today called for the immediate constitution of the Bureau for the Modification of the Rules of the Plenary and is considering the possibility of requesting the support of all groups to divide the development of the ordinary Plenary in two sessions tomorrow , one of control and oversight with the rendering of accounts of the Finance Commission, and the turn of requests and questions, and another with all the institutional declarations and motions presented by the municipal groups.
According to the spokesperson for Citizens in Cartagena, "the Plenary has gone out of hand, and the mayor has to redirect the situation, with these marathon sessions, we are not promoting the attendance of the citizens of Cartagena and we are hindering serious the work of journalists who see them and want them to be able to include in the next day's edition what happens in the plenary session from 20:00 hours ".
In addition, for Manuel Padín, "it does not seem reasonable that more than 100 proposals are debated, there is no City Council that can execute and respond to all these initiatives, or we understand that one thing is the different research committees and work groups and another very different one the Plenary, or we will have the honor of participating in the most inefficient and unproductive Plenary of Spain together with that of Cádiz ".
The spokesman of Cs ensures that the Organic Regulation of the Plenary (ROM) that we manage is not adapted to the political plurality that exists today, "it is a ROM designed for absolute majorities and rollers that does not establish any limit to present proposals, and for that reason it is necessary to modernize it and take it to the XXI Century ".
"If we want to open this space of democracy and participation to the neighbors, we have to find formulas that facilitate their follow-up", assured Manuel Padín, who considers that regardless of whether his group ends up presenting this proposal for modification "the mayor of Cartagena should ensure the normal functioning of the Plenary, and leave the warnings and advice to start implementing the regulation and thus end the interminable political rallies that some councilors declare when they disregard the object being debated, only to dispose the Next day of a video to share on their social networks. "
Manuel Padin believes that "Castejón would also do well to get his character and to end once and for all the countless interruptions, the breach of the time limit in the interventions, outings of tone, and personal attacks that take place in the Plenary Hall, in Citizens we are sure that if the regulation is applied forcefully, it would not take two plenary sessions. "
The orange spokesman says they are not willing to continue supporting "the embarrassing spectacle that was offered yesterday, here comes to work for Cartagena and not a therapeutic session to vent the frustrations and complexes."
Manuel Padín explained that dividing the plenary sessions into two-day sessions is not something strange, "our fellow Citizens in Malaga already requested this modification of the procedure, it is to optimize and streamline schedules, facilitate the follow-up of plenary sessions for citizens and the work of the media.
