Oblivious to defend the economic interests of the municipality, and therefore citizens of Cartagena, the team of municipal government, through the Councillor for Culture, María del Rosario Montero, has rejected the request of United Left-Greens that is approved by the House that the municipal government spending on festivals such as the Sea of ​​Music or Jazz meets conditions of legality and efficiency of public spending.
The request was based on the number of detected illegalities in the form of hiring and spending funds in this year's first event mentioned and the analysis of other years of both (contracts for more than 18,000 euros that do not appear to procurement as by law, hiring through double agents or representatives with a consequent increase in spending through commissions, paid use many thousands of euros Circus Theatre when you have the Auditorium and the Cultural Center Ramón Alonso Luzzy, catering for more than 10,000 euros without detailing the extent and form service, etc.).
According to the mayor said request such efficiency is demagoguery, ensuring inter alia that she has the capacity to contract by over 18,000 euros-which is not true and breaks the law-that some artists do not have representative (which is not completely because research to present the motion from the municipal group was discussed with some of the councilor said), to bring the film to the Circus Theatre is to give life to the city, like the Auditorium and Cultural Center Ramón Alonso Luzzy were out of it, or even in another municipality and appealing to the importance and impact of the festival, which is not called into question from United Left-Greens since the formation of the left he asks is not squandering money as is being done.
