This morning, prior to the theatrical act of repression of the mayor Ana Belén Castejón against the spokesman of the municipal group MC Cartagena, José López, PSOE and PP have joined forces to reinforce the protection that both formations provide in a continuous manner to the concessionaires that work in the City of Cartagena.
With their vote against, they have restrained the creation of a Research Commission that will assess and study the degree of compliance with the cleaning and collection contract that the Consistory maintains with the mixed cleaning and hygiene of Cartagena (Lhicarsa).
It should be remembered that the local administration holds a 10% stake in society.
Before the media, the spokesman of the Municipal Group MC Cartagena, José López, said that what he experienced today reveals "an underground coalition that for twenty years has been maintained by Pilar Barreiro, with the oasis of two years in which we have been able to work for Cartagena, which has been frustrated, the interests of these groups are muddy water, "said López, who has asked himself why he has avoided" not even being investigated. That is taking control of the concessionaire has reflected issues that should be clarified, for example, more than twenty workers who were not on the street and yes in the offices, lack of drivers on weekends, that the accounts have not been delivered of the lots of sheet metal sold, etc. ".
All this, Lopez added, would show that "we may not owe so much money to the company, but there may be breaches of contract that could be worth for that company cease, without intent to the municipal coffers, to continue leading the management and collection of solid waste from Cartagena, PP and PSOE vote together so that nothing changes, red and blue in one uniform, that of the big concessionaires, misfortunes for all Cartagena.
Slamming of control and transparency
For PSOE and PP, the reasons given by the cartagenerista and Cartagena Sí Se Puede training have not been sufficient to shed light on the status and control of a contract on which Ana Belén Castejón herself and Councilor Torralba have expressed doubts in recent dates, exposing the insufficient of the same, at the time of sliding an increase in the allocation to the company of up to five million euros more per year, through a modification of the contract.
Thus, the refusal of the traditional parties has prevented to inquire about problems in the provision of the service, according to municipal reports, which translates into insufficient cleaning, obsolete media, and a contract that, in short, is not adapted to the new ones. collection needs.
The constitution of this working group would have made it possible to clarify the lack of material and human resources;
lack of income due to plant by-products;
the obtaining of benefits by the company that should be valued, investigated and regularized, if necessary;
the implicit acknowledgment of the existence of the known 'special cleaning plan' for Lhicarsa's non-compliance with its obligations, as well as the origin of any modification to the contract or alteration of its conditions, or of a new tender according to the corresponding administrative procedures.
PSOE and PP agree to check the heritage of Cartagena
Another motion presented by MC has exposed a bleak panorama, with the Cartagena-based training as the only voice urging the multinational energy and petrochemical company Repsol to continue with its investment in the Roman Forum neighborhood.
PP and PSOE have returned to vote against, while Ciudadanos and Cartagena Sí Se Puede have abstained.
The concern of MC has arisen from the domino effect that will propitiate the construction project of the Roman Forum Museum, financed by Repsol, which would cause the cessation of the excavation of a significant part of this site.
MC considers that the Executive of Castejón is more than legitimized to demand the company to maintain its commitment to Cartagena, given the remarkable port traffic that supports the municipality with two refineries and the consequent risk for all citizens.
For all this, the merchant is obliged to respond in the only way possible, providing money on issues such as conservation and revaluation of heritage.
During his speech, MC Cartagena spokesman, José López, has wished that the current mayor does not imitate past governments and defends the general interest, requiring Repsol what justice belongs to the Cartagena, a longing that has finally become unhappy utopia.
