After 14 years of operation, the model implemented by the Municipal Neighborhood PP is obsolete and does not respond to the changes undergone by the municipality of Cartagena in recent years.
SPCT think this model has some structural defects should be corrected with a thorough remodeling of municipal decentralization model.
This model encourages municipal requests for segregation, because it creates frustration in the districts and the counties of Cartagena.
First, the current model has a serious problem of land distribution, since the 11 local neighborhood councils do not cover much of the town of Cartagena.
So there are councils that do not have figures of municipal decentralization, such as Santa Ana, Quarries, Los Belones, El Algar and the whole area of Mar Menor.
Similarly, only a suburb of Cartagena Neighborhood Board has, as is the case of Dolores., Yet neither the Barrio Peral, Private or Mediterranean, or the Barrio de la Concepción, nor Barreros for example, very problematic like, you have bodies of decentralization.
SPCT proposes the repeal of the current model of neighborhood for a consensual manner and within the new Regulations for Citizen Participation, the response to this institutional asymmetry that has dragged on since launched a decentralization model.
SPCT also like to emphasize that there is a current Neighborhood territorial chaos, as is the case of Mills Marfagones term which includes in its large number of people, or Albujón-Miranda case, consisting of the 2 villages, without much sense this union territory.
This chaos territorial joined the cast of the limited budget you have accounts with low efficiency criteria (The City does not take into account the uniqueness of each Board), causes a low effectiveness of these neighborhood councils, since virtually overlooked or even know the functioning of these decentralized bodies when there are problems using neighborhood associations.
Moreover, the designation of thumb of political parties represented in the City Hall representatives of neighborhood councils, representation on these bodies remains decentralization.
So SPCT bet because they are the citizens of each territory that elect their representatives on electoral lists by third urn.
In this way the selected candidates will not defend the interests of party, but that of their neighbors, since now they can be immediately dismissed by the spokesman for his political education.
From SPCT bet because under the new Rules of Participation, including the possibility of any political formation which contributes to the municipal elections, if you get representation on the governing decentralization because the citizens of each territory have so decided, can be represented in that court whether or not to obtain representation in the municipal council.
Not just for example, that a political gain 18% of the votes in the area of the Board of Alum-Vista Alegre and has no voice in the Neighborhood Council of the town, not having councilors in Cartagena.
Finally we find it necessary to reform the Local Government Act in the Region of Murcia, as well as the Statute of Autonomy, that respond to the uniqueness of Cartagena, backing the creation of the province of Cartagena, as well as the government, in this case in Ayuntamiento de Cartagena facilitate economic data demanded by neighbors under the current law on Local Rules of the municipal segregation arise.
SPCT thinks the law is equal for all and government must be the guarantor of observance.
