The orange training has sent today to the mayor of Cartagena his conditions to move from abstention to affirmative vote in the approval of the accounts of the Agency for Local Development and Employment, including strengthening the Observatory of Employment, increase some items , and include a new employment program
In the absence of an official meeting with the party that governs in Cartagena, PSOE, the Municipal Group of Citizens in Cartagena has decided to send today to the mayor of Cartagena, Ana Belén Castejón, their conditions to move from abstention to favorable vote in the approval of the budgets of the Local Agency for Development and Employment for 2018. The approval of the accounts of the autonomous agencies is an essential requirement to be able to send the municipal budgets to the regular plenary, an issue that apparently the Government of Cartagena has understood little. has withdrawn the draft accounts from the Finance Commission today.
"Given the concern that we began to feel so late this year, we decided to take the first step with the ADLE," said Orange spokesman Manuel Padin.
The Cs spokesperson recalled that his group regretted at the last meeting of the ADLE Governing Council, that this year's accounts would be continuous and that the same amounts would be allocated in 2018 as in 2017 for the same programs, and where the amount that the City Council allocates to the Agency at 215,000 euros;
"For us, that lack of news and those numbers do not reflect the proper attitude that requires the battle against unemployment in a municipality that has 18,000 unemployed."
Citizens has today transmitted to Ana Belén Castejón, that if she wants the support of Cs she will have to significantly increase the budget and include a public-private collaboration plan valued at 200,000 euros, "it is a structured strategy of various collaboration agreements to favor the integration of the unemployed in the labor market through programs that allow them to recycle and adapt to the new requirements of the market and promote their hiring ", explained Manuel Padín.
Citizens has also demanded the creation of aid aimed at supporting the return of talent to Cartagena, facilitate the establishment in Cartagena of people currently residing abroad or outside the Autonomous Community and want to return, as well as the increase of other items related to self-employment and the long-term unemployed.
Another of the requirements of the orange training is to promote the Employment Observatory in Cartagena, in the opinion of Cs is working "mid-gas" and requires the incorporation of new tools to facilitate the creation of new businesses, the optimization of those that already exist , and that allow micromarketing studies to small and medium enterprises and self-employed, who do not have their own marketing department as large companies.
"If the City Council needs to tender a contract for the management of these services, it will have to do so, and for this we believe that 30,000 euros is a figure that approaches the necessary tender, as they have done in other Spanish cities."
"If Mrs. Castejón accepts these commitments, Citizens will be in a position to vote favorably for the budgets of the ADLE, and thus take a step forward for the final approval of the budgets, Padin has noted that warns," in no way, this approval means that we are going to support the accounts of the City council for 2018, it is only the first stop, I remember to him to the PSOE that still has not deigned to negotiate the budgets with us nor with anybody, and that they are not in absolute majority, but in absolute minority " .
Citizens has already prepared a battery of amendments, and a broad list of conditions to give their support, "Citizens are perplexed by the indifferent and passive attitude of the PSOE, which has carried the budgets of the ADLE, and has sought to bring the generals to Full day 22 without negotiating a single comma, they are behaving as if they had an absolute majority, and at some point they will have to get out of this strange inertia. "
When will the Local and Regional Employment Bureau?
Citizens has once again demanded the convening of the Local Employment Board, which met for the last time on April 24, 2017, "it has been 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".
"We do not know anything about these days, nor do we know anything about the development of the Strategic Plan for Employment in Cartagena," laments orange spokesman.
"Cartagena does not reduce unemployment at the same rate as other municipalities in the region, and unemployment figures have been stagnant around 18,000 unemployed since the summer months, explained the spokesman of Cs Cartagena, which considers this situation" inexplicable " that the Community has not moved a finger to summon, after almost five years, the Regional Employment Board ".
The last time was on November 28, 2012.
