- According to the spokesperson of Citizens in Cartagena, Manuel Padín, "this Municipal Group has not been complicit today in increasing 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 "

- "The incredible political irresponsibility of today knows no precedent in Cartagena, PP, MC, and Podemos have kidnapped the investment of 13 million euros to repay debt, pay suppliers, and perform works in neighborhoods and councils by whim, rancor and partisan strategy ", has warned Manuel Padín

PP, MC, and Podemos have ruined today in Cartagena the hard work done by the Spanish Federation of Municipalities and Provinces with the Ministry of Economy and Finance to get the municipalities to reinvest the surplus almost without limitations, which in the case of Cartagena is more than 13 million euros.

These three parties have decided to ignore the request made today by the Federation of Neighborhood Associations of Cartagena and Shire.

Together with MC and Podemos in today's plenary, the PP has 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 Boards, and for neighborhoods and councils such as the improvement and expansion of the Greenway of Barrio Peral, the arrangement of the pool of La Aljorra, the Campo of La Palma Football, or projects framed in the Fenix ​​Manifesto for Los Mateos, Lo Campano and Santa Lucía, among other things.

"PP, MC and Podemos have today consummated a political betrayal and irresponsibility without precedent in Cartagena, not even last year when MC and PSOE proposed the same liquidation of the previous budget and the same modification without detailing the investments, but this year, that they have explained almost all the quantities and the works that will be made ... the popular and the populists decide capriciously that it is not enough ", Manuel Padín explained that he regrets" the sad attempt of these three parties to justify their decision ensuring that they have still detailed the works, it was not about that, to say otherwise is to deceive the citizens, it was simply to enable the departure, and later to carry the reports and the relation with name and surname, but even though it was not their obligation to do so, the Government has informed everyone of every detail of these works, but MC, PP and Podemos have preferred to continue with their strategy of harming the Government

, despite knowing that he is doing it to all Cartagena. "

Manuel Padín has stressed that, "in the case of MC your vote is very hypocritical, because they were the ones who last year presented the same amendment that was being debated today, but today they have decided to paralyze the works of participatory budgets only out of resentment and animosity towards the PSOE ".

"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, amend their accounts, vote against the accounts, but what we can not do is block the investments that Cartagena needs, "the orange spokesman informed.

According to Manuel Padín, "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."
