- The orange training spokesman says he feels disappointed with the games destined to neighborhoods and councils, he regrets the repeated investments of 2017 for the breaches of MC, the indifference towards employment policies and misses the investment impulse to take forward numerous agreements plenaries of 2016 and 2017

The Municipal Group of Citizens in Cartagena today made a first assessment of the draft municipal budgets of 2018, which qualifies as "timid and somewhat disappointing."

According to Orange spokesman Manuel Padín, "it is early to offer a final evaluation of these accounts, but we have to admit in a preliminary way that both the departure for neighborhoods and councils (450,000 euros this year of the Community without specifying) and the increase for social policies has known us little, and has not fulfilled the expectations generated by the mayor of Cartagena since his inauguration. "

Manuel Padín has announced that next week the Citizens' Economy Bureau will convene to seek advice and continue with the analysis.

On the other hand, according to Citizens, this draft notes the breach of the previous MC Government party, "not only punished the city with a multitude of urban botches such as the submarine roundabout or Santa Ana bike path that will have to be modified, but also they have been unable to carry out the works to consolidate the Monte de las Casillas and the remodeling of the Beatas and adjacent streets, one of our amendments to the budgets of 2017 whose starting is fully recovered in the 2018 accounts ", explained Manuel Padín which also highlighted the departure to continue works paralyzed in the CATAD, "another amendment of Cs and another irresponsible botched that MC leaves inheritance to all Cartagena after his disastrous passage by the Government."

"

We do not consider the repeated inclusion of investments for our 2017 amendments any gesture that brings us closer to the support of the 2018 budgets, because we took it for granted, it is not about any favor but an executive obligation after a breach, "he clarified. spokesperson for Cs.

Castejón forgets the plenary agreements

The orange training ensures that it has been surprised by the absence of items linked to the last plenary agreements, "the Government has forgotten to reserve the necessary budget items to execute many plenary agreements of 2016 and 2017, not only those promoted by our Group, but the immense majority of those who have proposed the rest of formations ".

With respect to the proposals of Citizens in the Plenary that are not reflected in the budget draft, Manuel Padín has stressed that "there is nothing to review the security and improvements in the playgrounds of the municipality, and neither for the development of the plan to endow of shade the public spaces of municipal competition, like the patios of the infantile schools, or certain squares and streets ".

On the Integral Plan of Torres Park, only one game of 26,400 euros has been reserved, "with this we can not think that the City Council really wants to recover this unique enclave," says Manuel Padín.

"We have not found any trace that makes us think that the adequacy of a plot of Miranda for sports and recreational uses will soon be a reality," added the Cs spokesman who also regretted that there is not a single reserve euro for a new one. neighborhood meeting in the Corner of San Ginés, agreement promoted by Cs;

not to mention what has not been spent this year in the Neighborhood Councils for bureaucratic problems, about half a million euros. "

The increase in investment does not reach employment policies

Another criticism of the orange training has to do with the reduction of investment for the Agency for Local Development and Employment (ADLE), "no new programs have been planned to combat unemployment and promote training, and if that were not enough the local government has decided to reduce the contribution of the ADLE in 215,000 euros, I believe that the message that the Government is throwing to the 18,000 unemployed that exist in Cartagena can not be more hopeless ".

"The stop increased in Cartagena in February in more than 250 people and we are again in the indexes of 2016 and 2010 and that should put us all on alert and start working to lower this figure, because we are going in the opposite direction to the national trend ", Padín has warned that he remembers that the Local Employment Board has not been moving for a year, and that the County Board has not met for five years.

"Employment policies drop by 215,000 euros, but for example, institutional advertising by 300,000 euros goes up", are things that we do not understand and that we will have to explain in detail ", assured Manuel Padín.

Budget inconsistency

Finally, the Citizens Group again criticizes the lack of specificity of many items, "clear feature that there is no clear roadmap for the immediate future of Cartagena but a hodgepodge of unspecified intentions," said Padin.

Conclusions

For the above, the spokesman for Citizens believes that "it is early but at this time, I can say that Ciudadanos is far from being able to support the accounts this year, we will continue to make numbers and match items, we will try to make weaknesses that we have detected with amendments, our spirit is the same as always, be constructive and a factor of stability for Cartagena but the PSOE must show that it is up to the circumstances ".
