- "The necessary investment to make the projects of the participatory budgets, to execute the Fenix ​​Manifesto, for the Greenway of Barrio Peral, or for the construction of the pedestrian access and the free parking in front of the Santa Lucía Hospital is kidnapped by the Populists and the PP ", denounces Manuel Padín

The Popular Party has ruined the hard work of the Spanish Federation of Municipalities and Provinces with the Ministry of Economy and Finance in Cartagena to ensure that the municipalities could reinvest the surplus almost without limitations, which in the case of Cartagena is more than of 13 million euros.

Joining MC and Podemos in the Finance Committee, the PP prevented the approval of the necessary budget modification to devote more than 4 million to the amortization of long-term loans, more than 5 million euros to the payment of invoices to suppliers, and 2.5 million euros for the works of the participatory projects, the Neighborhood Committees, and for neighborhoods and councils such as the improvement and expansion of the Greenway of Barrio Peral, or the projects framed in the Fenix ​​Manifesto for Los Mateos, Lo Campano and Santa Lucia.

"This political irresponsibility that knows no precedent in Cartagena, not even last year when the MC and PSOE proposed the liquidation of the previous budget and the investment of the surplus without detailing the investments, but this year, the amounts and amounts have been broken down. works that will be made ... the popular decide that it is not enough, perhaps because they believe that blocking the City Council and damaging the Government will be profitable in the municipal elections of 2019, "said the spokesman for Citizens who hopes" that the national or regional of the Popular Party react and oblige its councilors to look first for the general interest of Cartagena and not for partisan tacticism.

For Manuel Padín, "the reasons of PP, MC and Podemos to reject liquidation and reinvestment are overwhelmingly less important than the consequences of their rejection".

According to the orange spokesman, "the blockade of the surplus could be expected from populist political movements like MC or Podemos, but despite all their corruption and their mistakes, we could not foresee a party that has had government responsibility for so many years. in this municipality and knows perfectly the vital importance of enabling this investment millionaire, it is incomprehensible that these three parties kidnap the investment needed by Cartagena.

The orange spokesman has appealed today to the Cartagena PP, "I ask that for the good of citizens reconsider their position, to meet as many times as necessary with the municipal government, and change your vote at least abstention" .

The mayor of Citizens warns that "the PP has in his hand free investment to make the projects of participatory budgets, to execute the Phoenix Manifesto, for the Greenway of Barrio Peral, or for the construction of pedestrian access and free parking in front of the Hospital Santa Lucia, have two days to correct their decision and not contribute to the paralysis of the municipality, if they do not and prefer to continue blocking with MC and We can this investment, they will be committing a historical error and betrayal "
