Cartagena, Friday, April 13.

The opposition groups, PP, MC and Cs, have held a meeting today to initiate the first contacts and exchange the first impressions of the last draft of the 2018 budget delivered last Monday 9 April by the mayor of Cartagena, Ana Belén Castejón.

The meeting is motivated by the support that the three formations gave to the motion to negotiate the elaboration of a budget agreed by all the formations of the City Council in the Finance Commission, and in the face of Mrs. Castejón's refusal to comply with it.

The three share the opinion that this draft, after a first analysis, is a budget made to campaign a year after the elections.

The mayor has drawn up a budget that is not made to favor the development of the municipality and its inhabitants, but to make electoral and try to buy wills.

The three opposition formations maintain their doubts about the legality of the processing of the accounts and have reported that today the joint letter registered last week remains unanswered for the reports that support the possibility of taking the budget to the Plenary. municipal without having approved before the budgets of the Autonomous Bodies, so that, today, can not consider the approval of the budget, even being amended, without having all the guarantees that it is complying with the law.

The three political groups have agreed that in the municipality there is a serious problem of paralysis and disability and that we must work generously to resolve it.

For that reason and in spite of the deep ideological and political differences that they maintain, PP, MC and Cs will meet as many times as necessary to find a solution to this situation.

Finally, the three groups have set out to make a final list of the amendments that each group wants to include in the budget to try to reach a consensus and amend the ridiculous electioneering and clientelist budget that has delivered the Socialist Party with Castejón at the helm .
