The socialist mayor abolishes the free city buses during Friday of Dolores and the deterrent parking services throughout the Holy Week.

This morning, the councilor of the MC Cartagena municipal group and former head of the area of ​​Sustainable Development, María José Soler, lamented "the tireless clumsiness of the socialist government, unable even to continue the initiatives of our training to facilitate the day to day of the citizenship, such as the M17 mobility plan. "

With these words, Soler has referred to the decision of the Executive directed by Ana Belén Castejón to eliminate the measure implemented by José López, during his two years as mayor (June 2015 to June 2017), to manage the free of charge of all urban bus lines of municipal competence in dates of special impact and social relevance, such as the recent Friday of Dolores, date in which the Cartagena had to pay to make use of public transport.

The initiative of Lopez, seconded later by Soler, also extended to Thursday and Friday of Carthaginians and Romans and the Cabalgata de Reyes, measures complemented with the habilitation of separate dissuasive parkings (Severo Ochoa and Cartagonova), from where free buses departed to the Historical center, in normal schedule and in the nights of greater demand.

At this point, María José Soler has criticized "the lack of tact and sensitivity of the mayor's office towards the traditions and, in particular, towards the neighborhoods and councils, which manifests itself in the suppression of a service launched by the mayor, José López, who benefited all the neighbors on the big day of Cartagena for two years. "

"He is able to take some photos with three buses that renew three others who cancel their flights last week, but he does not consider their usefulness or take advantage of the special Easter service." The concepts of planning, work or solidarity they are foreign and, once again, fail the neighbors ", Soler argued.

The mayor recalled that, during his last days as the head of Sustainable Development, he had to "force Castejón not to suppress the measure during the afternoon of the Cavalcade of Kings, with magnificent results that they have silenced. , erase all traces of MC even knowing that it hurts the neighbors, arrogance, ignorance and insolvency of the hand.

Soler regretted that "revanchism and irresponsibility are placed before a measure that encourages mobility and the participation of neighbors, who takes care of residents in neighborhoods and councils, and that increases citizen security on dates of special significance."

To conclude, María José Soler has urged the mayor "to restore this service from the night of Holy Wednesday, so that Cartagena and visitors have the car parks with free buses on the days of greatest influx of Holy Week and they can more comfortably access our passionate courts, which the socialists are harming daily with their disability.
