The Carthaginian Pride Sports Association (OC), registered in the Register of Entities of the Autonomous Community Sports wants to show its concern about a series of events that precede the celebration of the Audi MedCup regatta in the waters of Cartagena (23 to August 28 ).

Audi MedCup circuit, marking elitist, has already cost city coffers almost 3 million since 2008.

Meanwhile, local and regional authorities have not yet specified the alleged economic benefits to be for the city.

They try to convince a hypothetical economic impact on the city of 9 million euros.

But where is that money?

Has anyone seen a report broken down on those profits?

For now, the only thing that is clear to the citizens of Cartagena is public expenditure by the taxpayer involved in the MedCup, held to enjoy a privileged few in a city ravaged by unemployment and economic crisis.

The sport of Cartagena, without much luck as the MedCup

While the citizen's money flows towards the luxurious ships of the race, Cartagena clubs continue to suffer political disinterest of the city and the Community.

Regarding Futsal Cartagena, which was about the disappearance barely a month ago, we still do not know if the City has kept his word and made effective half the slope of this grant in 2011.

On the other hand, FC Cartagena continues without receiving their respective grants the last two years.

Also, has not received any official amount for the sponsorship of the Roman Theatre in Cartagena in 2010 and 2011.

What's more, Efes is still to announce whether continue sponsoring Teatro Romano, not paying the club for next season.

Dangerous Liaisons

Finally, OC questions the appropriateness of the City of Cartagena keep close contact, through this race with the group Santa Monica businessman Jesus Samper, as a division of that business group is the organizer of the Audi MedCup.

Is it ethical for the city of Cartagena is related to an enterprise of a defendant in "Operation Umbra 'for alleged incitement to breach of trust, money laundering and tax fraud?
