- The local spokesman of the orange training announces that his group will intensify its control over the execution of the works that the City Council does, "it is not the first time between the specifications of the project and the final result is a shameful stretch , we have lived with the works of the cycle path of Santa Ana, with the improvement works in the CATAD, or with the roundabout of the Peral Submarine, it is an obligation for any opposition party to avoid the fudge and the waste of public money "

The spokesman for Citizens in Cartagena, Manuel Padín, has climbed up to the Atalaya Castle to see first-hand the results of the work to adapt the fortress and its surroundings.

The first phase was awarded to Andrés Mendoza e Hijos for an amount of almost 49,000 euros.

As announced by the City Council, the objective of the actions, framed in the 2017 Participatory Budgeting, was to stop the deterioration of a construction that ended up in municipal hands over a year and a half, ceded by the State.

To achieve this, the Government of that time, made up of MC and PSOE, ensured that the castle would be cleaned in all its dependencies and its surroundings, the collection of loose architectural elements, the consolidation of damaged structures by shoring and shoring, and the sealing of holes in canvases and flanks opened by vandalism.

The spokesman of the orange training, Manuel Padín, has indicated that "we thank above all the effort of our officials despite so much political nonsense that lives in the City, they coordinate and do everything on their part to get things out ahead".

For Manuel Padín, "it is clear that the inside of many dependencies has been cleaned and that the 200 meters of concrete on part of the access road are a reality, but we have to say that the protection measures to prevent the level of abandonment from returning that he presented are manifestly insufficient. "

"A flimsy wooden door has been placed with a padlock that was closed yesterday at first hour, but after a few hours someone had forced it and a group of young people were inside it, although they put another padlock, it is too easy to access to the interior by what is required another type of entrance gate, in addition, for the hole in one the flanks have been limited to placing a simple cross supported by a pair of boulders, it seems to me that there is no one in Cartagena who can think that These measures of protection are serious, "said the local spokesman of Cs who says that if the purpose was to block the way to looters and hooligans and thus prevent their actions contribute to the deterioration of the strength, they have not succeeded, not even they have approached. "

"We also value in a very negative way the work related to the collection of loose architectural elements or the consolidation of structures, because we have seen many of those elements scattered around the perimeter of the Castle, and we have not appreciated important consolidation works in any structure, for example, the spiral scale is in the same dilapidated state it was in, "said Manuel Padín who has announced that his group will study the original project to continue the comparison and analysis and will evaluate the possibility of including new items. to the municipal budgets of 2018 to continue with the adequacy works and warns that, "this time we will monitor very closely and from the first minute the conditions, the money used, the objectives, and the development of the works, we are convinced that when the neighbors voted for these works for the Castle of La Atalaya, this was not what they were after. "

Manuel Padín said after his visit that "what Citizens wants is to intensify their control over the execution of the works that makes this City Council, is not the first time between the specifications of the project and the final result is a stretch embarrassing, we have lived it with the works of the cycle path of Santa Ana, we have seen it with the improvement works in the CATAD, with the roundabout of the Peral Submarine and partly we have seen it here today, to control the correct development of the execution of the works allows us to verify that the money of Cartagena is profitable, it is an obligation for any opposition party to avoid the botched and the waste of public money ".
