In the motion at the last full council, Citizens Movement (MC) criticized the actions of the Department of Sports for 18,000 euros spent on lawn overseeding Cartagonova stadium, arguing that the final of the Copa del Rey was played youth, especially where the state end of the season was pretty good.
Instead, the Councillor for Sports, Diego Ortega, hid behind technical reports for the realization of the same.
The truth is that today the Spanish Football Federation has decided to suspend the meeting in Cartagena and move to Madrid before the unfortunate aspect that presents the same.
From MC regret not have been wrong in our assessment and that the unilateral order issued by Councilman Ortega for reseeding results in the image of Cartagena, athletically speaking, has made the scariest ridiculous nationwide, not to mention losses that generated the hospitality they had made reservations and displacement of people that would come to our city, Madrid, Seville and the rest of Spain.
Party was to be televised at rush hour and with the assistance of the Royal House to deliver the cup.
For José López, mayor of MC "after this embarrassing spectacle we have no other choice but to ask for the resignation irrevocably the Councillor for Sports, now to try to save the situation attached some pictures of the current state of the stadium turf, which demonstrates, once again, their inability to be responsible for the sport in the city, as the simple picture that does not release when the field is pressed your situation is unfortunate, therefore preventing a football game is played in this level. "
Lopez added that "also the Mayor is directly responsible for putting forward such a singular department, Sports, to non-members, first with Mr. Cabezas, dissolving the good performance that had the Municipal Board, closing wards , laying off workers and cutting sports, then rewarding him with the Deputy Mayor, and now Mr. Ortega, the only thing that is dedicated to this type of shoddy, to take pictures, attend the boxes and have beers in breaks, in addition to use for their official vehicle trips paid all Cartagena ".
