- The orange training will not sit down to negotiate the municipal budgets of 2018 if the mayoress of Cartagena continues with its road map, "the message that Castejón is sending to society Cartagena is that political regeneration does not go through the PSOE, that if It has to choose between an independent control of its management or follow the steps of the worst version of the PP, prefer the second, today the representatives of the Socialists have destroyed the roof of political incoherence "
Given the information published today by various media in which it is claimed that the mayor of Cartagena, Ana Belén Castejón, has decided that a former leader of the PSOE occupy the position of auditor in the City of Cartagena, the spokesman for Citizens in Cartagena , Manuel Padín, has not hidden his disappointment and anger, "this is not the way to proceed that we expect from a City Council that proclaims itself to be one of the most transparent and democratic in Spain, we can not accept or expect that an actively linked person with the PSOE (has occupied four positions in the socialist board) safeguard the principles of neutrality, impartiality and independence that is required of a post that must ensure transparency and legality of municipal accounts.
"That it is a legal procedure does not de facto make this decision a positive thing, on the contrary, with this unilateral, political and interested decision, Mrs. Castejón is betraying the values ​​of her own party, of her voters, and of herself, because precisely she, together with her former MC government, bitterly criticized this type of movement in the PP legislatures, "Manuel Padín has warned.
The spokesman for Citizens has decided to leave the Finance and Interior Commission today for all the above, and after verifying that the appointment of the new auditor was imminent in that same session.
For Manuel Padín, "the message that Castejón is launching today to the Cartagena society is that political regeneration does not go through the PSOE, that if it has to choose between an independent control of its management or follow the steps of the worst version of the PP, he prefers the second, today the representatives of the socialists have destroyed the roof of political incoherence. "
Before this change of direction, Citizens has announced that it freezes relations with the PSOE sine die and announces that it will not sit down to negotiate the municipal budgets of 2018 if a trained, neutral and independent professional is not chosen as auditor.
In addition, orange training expects the Autonomous Community to reject this proposal because it considers that it is against the general interest of Cartagena, and asks the mayor of Cartagena to rectify and seek, if necessary, an auditor who is free from suspicion of bias or who maintains the current intervener, until a future public contest succeeds in designating this position definitively.
"In Citizens we are aware that today there is a battle between constitutional and nineteenth-century values, that is, objectivity, equality or merit against clientelism or the interested plug, and we know very well on what side we want to be," he said. the spokesman for Citizens.
For the orange training, the figure of the controller in a local administration is essential and its functions of the first order since it carries out the control and internal control of the economic-financial and budgetary management, as well as the accounting.
Therefore, "we understand that this City Council should have promoted better a contest based on the principles of equality, merit and ability and have implemented the necessary actions to prevent these calls were declared void."
