The mayor, Jose Lopez, and Deputy Mayor, Ana Belen Castejon have received this morning the Minister of Development, Francisco Barnabas to join him and try various issues such as improvement works on roads and the arrival of the AVE to Cartagena, taking advantage of its visit for the inauguration of the works of the bays executed in the Tower Nicolas Perez.
The first municipal mayor said after their meeting that has flowed cordially and thanked his visit to the Town Hall.
In addition, Lopez explained some of the issues discussed as improved roads example is that inaugurated today. The five parking bays Bus Torre Nicolas Perez, which represents an investment of nearly 50,000 euros part of the region and who are already placed in service.
The Minister explained those road improvements as in the area of Alum, Pozo Estrecho and likewise we discussed in a special way as regards the AVE in the region.
The Mayor explained that the road from Torre Pacheco and Pozo Estrecho is already tendered and the escape route of Alum will be launched.
They have been flat and will take place quickly.
On the other hand, in phase of recruitment is the link to the highway to La Manga from Los Belones which has cost nearly four million euros and will shortly contest, as explained by the director himself, to which he has also added the works in the roundabout to Cabo de Palos (would be the third) and is in the process of concession.
Arrival of the AVE to the Regia "N
Another of the issues and a very special way has been the arrival of the AVE in the region since, as explained by the Minister, it is scheduled to arrive in Murcia by year's end as the sections of work is already contracted and then would the tendering of the works of the arrival of the AVE to Cartagena at the end of 2016.
In a few days there will be a plenary session in the city of Murcia very important to remember the arrival of the High Speed.
As explained by the counselor, if finally the city of Murcia get underground requires a whole, takes him to court and a judge decides to stop the works, would be a very serious delay.
On the issue of bypass Reguerón, the Minister explained that it is planning a council administrations AVE Cartagena between the city, the region and the Ministry of Development to establish time.
According determined Barnabas, I have asked them to do see the other political and especially in Murcia of the strategic importance of this work.
The AVE can not be stopped because it affects all Murcia.
In the event that a bypass is realizase the bird would be delayed much more, in years and lacking any previous administration and not within the current roadmap to follow the Ministry of Development, as the counselor has manifested continued.
As for the arrival, the mayor has promoted the station is not in Mandarache but in the current season so lowers costs and deadlines.
In the opinion of counsel, if the city of Murcia decided to oppose and appeal to the courts and the work is stopped, the bypass would be the first option as Beniel may not be the main stop in the region and could be Cartagena, although Barnabas has said that time would sit and talk.
Regarding the bypass Reguerón, the mayor explained that the municipal government was walking in front of the regional government because the bypass that is now manifesting can be high and if the arrival of the AVE one year delay would not have contemplated the bypass of four kilometers from the Ministry from the beginning.
INSTITUTIONAL impolite
The mayor, Jose Lopez, thanked the assistance of the Minister of Public Works and added the fluidity that has been maintained for the meeting, and has taken advantage of the presence of the media to express discontent City of Cartagena by certain ques tions with other ministries and even ministries.
Jose Lopez explained that have been directors, general managers and Minister once without warning as is the time that Pedro Antonio Sanchez came to Cabo de Palos talking reserve Cape Tiñoso and we are not told, he came to the Minister ARQUA and neither warned us, came the Minister of Education.
This is disrespectful to the city of Cartagena as it is the host.
The Minister of Tourism and came twice and warned not have much to say on these issues.
I raise the complaint that does not happen again.
I regret the Strategic Plan of the Ministry of Culture and they have not had Cartagena, was explaining the first municipal mayor.
I want to believe that this happens by chance but I think we are ninguneando, she said Jose Lopez continued.
DESCONTAMINACIÃ "N of the Honda" N
In addition, the mayor added that this problem is compounded by the cataloging of contaminated soils The Hondón. Twenty years with this problem and three days to get the government we get the information you need to advance the plan of El Hondón and yesterday we surprised that the land must be cataloged.
The Mayor conveyed that l to cataloging these areas involves the immediate decontamination and passing the 21 million euros and again hit the dwindling coffers of the City Council, which would have to pay 14 million excluding fees.
