- "We have said it many times, Cartagena can not live isolated from the world, and so far, it has been excluded from all the collaboration networks that have been promoted at the national level and that is something that our Municipal Group wants to correct with its motions ", said the spokesman of the orange formation, Manuel Padín

At the beginning of 2015, the Spanish Network for Sustainable Development (REDS) was born.

The Municipal Citizens Group will propose at the next ordinary plenary session that the City of Cartagena adhere to this network.
