The Municipal Group of Citizens in Cartagena today demanded the convocation of the Local Employment Board, meeting for the last time on April 24, 2017, and has asked the Government of Cartagena to stop dragging their feet on this issue.
"No one can deny that we have shown an infinite patience with this Government and that our attitude has always been conciliatory and constructive, but if delays and breaches continue, the relationship with the Citizens party will not be so easy," he warned. spokesperson for Citizens in Cartagena, Manuel Padín, who has thus made reference to the 10 months since the last Local Employment Table, "10 months in which we have not seen anything of what was promised in the last session, among other things , the proposal of Cs for the City to organize a conference on the Logistics Activities Areas in Spain, with representatives of the ZAL of Algeciras, Asturias or Valencia to know their experience, as well as the influence they have exerted on the economic development of their environment".

Manuel Padín wanted to remind the mayor today that both the organization of these days, as the development of the Employment Plan are just two of the conditions that Citizens will impose to sit down to negotiate the municipal budgets of 2018, "we have heard from the press that Mrs. Castejón intends to start the contact round to negotiate the 2018 accounts next week, and I warn her, that without the draft of little or nothing we will be able to talk. "
County and local employment board
For Manuel Padín, "if we want a better future for the region of Cartagena, we must reactivate both the local table and the district of employment."
"Cartagena does not reduce unemployment at the same rate as other municipalities in the region, and the figures for unemployed people have been stagnating for more than 17,500 people since the summer months." The urban break caused by the annulment of the General Plan of Urban Planning and the lack of strategic infrastructures due to the lack of sufficient regional and state investment is holding back the recovery of all the municipalities that make up the region, "explained the spokesman of Cs Cartagena, which in this situation considers" inexplicable "that the Community has not moved a finger to convene, after almost five years, the Regional Employment Board, and that the City of Cartagena allows almost a year to pass without convening the municipal. "" The unions also regret that this table has not been convened, " as reported by the newspaper La Verdad.
The last time the Regional Committee was held was on November 28, 2012, at that time, responsible for Employment of the municipalities of the Comarca, as well as trade union delegates and business organizations were gathered three hours in San Miguel, and not even then managed to finalize some 26 proposals to combat the unemployment that arose at the beginning of the year 2011 ... "It is a joke to all the inhabitants of the Region of Cartagena, a shame that Citizens want to correct, so we are going to ask our colleagues in the Regional Assembly to promote a new call to refound the Regional Employment Board, with new assessments, new objectives, and new strategies, and from that refoundation should arise the commitment of continuous work over time, be who be in the government of each of the municipalities from the year 2019, because the important thing is the people, and not the political color of the
local ecuadorians ".
