The Secretary of Tourism of the PSOE in Cartagena, Salvador Martinez, considered inappropriate to use terms like "antibotelleo plan", "tough" and "suspicious car" by the municipal official of Public Safety in Cartagena when it comes to press young residents and tourists, with the programming void leisure activities (sports, music, culture in general, clubs, etc), decide to get together to make 'botelleo', which in any case is a recognized form of entertainment and not a crime in itself.
In this sense, venture to bring socialist ideas in other Spanish municipalities have been effective, as has been the case of Calvia and Marbella, in two different communities and governments of different political colors, but where common sense and dialogue solutions have allowed the short and medium term focus to move to the city and mark public spaces authorized for this purpose for the meeting of young people during the summer night.
-To avoid the chaos of 'botelleo', we propose to adapt a sufficiently large area, with easy access, away from the houses, bounded, cleaning services, security and access control, which also could be installed fast-food outlets Municipal permission during hours to allow the youth meeting.
-It is essential to enable public transport services that communicate the enclosed area with the nearby population.
This will cut the use of private vehicles in exchange for extending the hours of meeting Urban Bus line.
Admittedly, the 'botelleo' is not the problem in itself, but the place where it is performed.
For this we must direct involvement of public authorities, including the Community, when these phenomena leisure redirect youth to safe environments that citizens do not disturb residents, while cultural events are scheduled liked by young people in these same areas.
A view of the Socialists, has been shown in other areas of high incidence tourist, more alternative activities for young people, the less the impact of 'botelleo' pure and simple.
In this sense, report that La Manga del Mar Menor need activities of this season as music concerts, sports, nightlife, local festivals performances, to help diversify the pattern of tourists who visit us to achieve medium-term youth tourism offer profitable and healthy, which can coexist with other types of tourism.
