For the mayor of MC in the city of Cartagena, José López, "this is another example of the systematic abuse that takes place from Murcia to Cartagena, punishing more budget cuts when curiously with his region contributes 30% of regional GDP ".

What "is police court is the brutal cuts suffered by the Polytechnic University of Cartagena (UPCT) with 5% less, which jeopardizes the survival of the same and the service it provides to society," says Lopez , adding, "it is illogical clipping when is a growing university, a public university, which requires investment, and who has been reduced funding third in just four years."
