"Contrary to what CTSSP-Podemos councilor and president of the Casco Antiguo Research Commission, Francisco Martínez, has done today, I will not disclose confidential information, nor will I present the conclusions unilaterally before the deadline without respecting the work of the rest of the members of the Commission, "said the spokesman for Citizens in Cartagena, Manuel Padín, who said that" today is a sad day for democracy in Cartagena, because much damage has been done to the credibility and purpose of these municipal control bodies, if we want citizens to believe in the work of the Commissions of Investigation we have to be serious and respect the rules of the game, without that minimum we have nothing and today we can have all skipped them to the bullfighter " .

According to Manuel Padín, "in order to be serious, we can not compromise the efficiency of the research work by publicizing the deliberations and voting before the Commission concludes, or by not respecting the deadlines to offer the conclusions of each Group, between other things because they are the rules that we have given, if what I wanted was to set up a media circus in solitary, I did not need the creation of this Commission or waste our time at all ".

"Martinez has preferred to betray the trust and the work of the Commission for a few minutes of personal brilliance and glory," said the orange spokesman.

"CTSSP-Podemos has demonstrated, in the only opportunity it has had to manage and preside over a municipal organ, how damaging political populism can be for Cartagena: the lack of respect for democracy, participation and the rules given that the councilman of Podemos is demonstrating in his presidency of the Commission of Investigation of Casco Antiguo is unprecedented, not even, if we look back and review the roller that imposed the still senator of the PP, Pilar Barreiro, "has criticized the spokesman of the orange formation.

"In today's press conference, the mayor of CTSSP-Podemos has bypassed all the rules, which in the absence of an express regulation, we have given the members of the Commission, among others, the confidentiality of the deliberations, the inclusion of information that does not appear in the minutes, or the deadlines to present the general and specific conclusions, which must be duly reflected in an opinion to be debated and voted by the Plenary, "explained Padín.

In addition, the conclusions that he has made public today, CTSSP-Podemos, do not correspond to those he shared in the Commission's session of February 13, since they have undergone substantial modifications, "after being required today on three occasions, and after the refusal of Mr. Martínez to read his "new" report, it has been agreed that he would do it in the next session, but of course, why respect the deadlines if he expected an appointment with the media glory and a few minutes of personal brilliance "

Mr. Martinez did not want to wait even to read the report of conclusions made by the Socialist Group, "and that gives us an idea of ​​what matters to Mr. Martinez what we think others."

On the other hand, the Cs spokesman explained that one of the modifications made public today We can result from a request for legal advice that Cs transferred to the secretary of the Commission before reading the first version of the president's report.

On the conclusions that Podemos has presented, "I think that to say that things were not done well in the University District, with the purchase of the San Miguel Building, in Puerta Nueva, or with the expropriations and that the leaders of that time were politically responsible. It is necessary to be very clever, but from there to conclude that the Casco Antiguo Society can not reverse its path and should disappear, it is a stretch that we are not willing to go because we still believe that well worn Casco Antiguo is a necessary and useful instrument for Cartagena "

As for the qualifiers that the councilor of Podemos has used to refer to his person, "I do not know if I can continue calling him a companion of the Corporation because one partner does not disqualify another in that way, they are getting close to MC, which They are infecting the former mayor's way. "

Given the criticisms that Francisco Martínez made today, Manuel Padín recalled that in the session of February 13 "the first version of the conclusions of Podemos were read by Mr. Martinez, so much so that he even forced us to vary our agenda of the day and delay a meeting we had later with the Councilor for Animal Health and Welfare, Obdulia Gomez. "

"Only after taking cognizance of the content of this report we cast our vote against," the orange spokesman explained, explaining that moments later, he presented his own conclusions in a verbal manner to which Mr. Martínez ignored;

for which the president of the Commission has returned to lie today when he affirms that Ciudadanos did not emit an informed vote or contributed anything ".

"Mr. Martínez has shown today more than ever the true face of Podemos, the authoritarian populism that does not listen to those who think differently or respects the basic norms of democratic plurality and has presented conclusions without guarantees, a report that could be written before even that the Commission of Investigation began because it is in its electoral program ", has indicated the spokesman of Citizens.
