- According to the spokesman of Citizens, Manuel Padín, "we agree that the Government of Cartagena could have done better, and give more information, but this Municipal Group does not want to be an accomplice to increase the paralysis and delay of fundamental works in the municipality, we did not do it in 2016, we did not do it in 2017 and we will not do it in 2018 "

After the ordinary session of the Finance and Interior Commission today, the spokesman for Citizens in Cartagena, Manuel Padín, has indicated that he thinks "a tremendous irresponsibility on the part of PP, MC and Podemos, prevent budget modification to enable investment of the 2017 surplus, among other things, in pending participatory projects ".

For Manuel Padín, "it is incomprehensible that they have decided to vote in this way arguing that it has not been detailed in what is going to spend that money, when we already know that a good part of that item will be destined to the financing of works of participatory budgets , among other financially sustainable projects ".

For Padín, "in the case of MC your vote is especially hypocritical, because they were the ones who last year presented a plan of financially sustainable investments charged to the same game, and now they vote against that you can invest that money with the plan that the Government is preparing. "

"Today was about giving the green light to the budget modification, and the time will come to influence and commit part of the surplus and there are instruments to do so, and to supervise how this money is spent."

According to Manuel Padín, "we agree that the Government of Cartagena could have done better, and give more information, but this Municipal Group does not want to be an accomplice to increase the paralysis and delay of fundamental works in the municipality and continue to amortize debt, we did not do it in 2016, we did not do it in 2017 and we will not do it in 2018. "

"What we can not do is put forward the political strategy, or the desire to wear down a government with the look set in 2019, hurting the neighbors who chose their projects in the participatory process, or the other neighborhoods and councils, we can criticize to the Government, to amend their accounts, we can even vote against the accounts, but what we can not do is block investments that Cartagena needs, "Manuel Padín has reported.
