The general secretary of MC Cartagena and spokesman of the municipal group, José López, issued this morning a statement after the campaign launched by the PP to cover their lack of project for Cartagena, using for it a matter of great social sensitivity, action that results unacceptable and embarrassing.
Below, we reproduce the José López communiqué in its entirety:
This is a controversial impostada that obeys an attempt to discredit my party because we have led a change in political life in the municipality after twenty years punctuated by episodes of political corruption, some of them of national scope, such as the Punic Operation.
My criticism, and it can be heard in the complete interview, is the game that the PP sells in this Region and, more specifically, in Cartagena.
A game of pawns to which they place without blushing, the candidacy of Noelia Arroyo has been paid by placing an undocumented, Joaquín Segado, at the head of the Port Authority to pay them 90,000 euros a year, and the regional president operates as a figurehead of Pedro Antonio Sanchez, triple accused of corruption, defender of these 'professional' politicians and who, in fact, when the Púnica failed, hired this professional to wash her public image.
It is a policy based on posturing, superficiality and the accumulation of photographs.
That's what I meant, I simply made a general reflection on the policy that is imposed in our days that lacks depth, work and vocation of service.
At no time I wanted to make a direct reference to the candidate of the PP to the Mayor and regional government councilor to whom I respect, something she has not done with me.
Beyond this, I express my surprise at the repercussion that my words have reached, in the form of a metaphor, and that they only had the intention that I now manifest.
Because I'm the only one who can talk about the intention because the words were mine.
The rest are biased interpretations, attempts to get political revenue, issues that I can not control, but that should embarrass.
Our party supports the feminist struggle on March 8 and day by day shows that.
We did not see Noelia Arroyo or any other member of the PP supporting the women.
there are others who do not support it, the same ones who promote this political hunt, which began when we discovered the corruption of Pilar Barreiro in Cartagena, not because of women, but because of corruption.
I am not macho, I did not make a macho criticism or live or promote machismo.
This controversy is part of a washing of image of the Popular Party.
We continue working for Cartagena apart from these invented polemics.
