The area of Environment, Energy and Sustainable Mobility Izquierda Unida in Cartagena considered off everywhere Albaladejo statements in which states that prohibit the use of bicycles in all pedestrian areas.

"Once again, the city shows a considerable confusion at the time of their performances in terms of mobility in the city, where for every step forward there are two backward."

From Izquierda Unida "We believe that the city should regulate the consistency of the bicycle with pedestrians in the city, just as in many other cities in Spain and Europe, we believe this regulation needs to be addressed in the Mobility Bureau open participatory citizenship as that proposed by the United Left repeatedly. One way to regulate the coexistence of a harmonious and beneficial to pedestrians and users would be, for example, allow the movement of bicycles in those areas subject to priority pedestrian, with limited speed and whenever possible leave 1 meter distance from the pedestrian and the front and must continue walking is not possible compliance with these conditions. "

In any case, Victoria Rodriguez expressed his rejection "of a measure as harsh contrast to the laxity with which the municipality acts with vehicles parked on sidewalks, pedestrian crossings or bus stops, preventing movement for people with some degree of disability and obstructing and endangering many times for pedestrians, bicycle users, public transport or other cars. Moreover, this measure was announced without having carried out any dialogue and with an urgency that makes a contrast with the delay and slowness of the council, and the same Albaladejo, in implementing the project "Integrated Programme for the promotion of cycling in urban and suburban areas of the city of Cartagena, which launched in spite of having almost 10 months continuously in a frozen state that can jeopardize the grant of € 375,560 provided by the Ministry of Development. "

Therefore, Izquierda Unida de Cartagena "requires Albaladejo withdraw his words and is dedicated to do their job as councilman of infrastructure, carrying out both the pedestrian, who performed much faster since it is not necessary to have changed the pavement pedestrianise a street, as the above project with the utmost promptness. Also, IU asks the council to create a table for mobility where all citizens can have our say and where they treat these types of issues outside the permanent improvisation authoritarian showing the Popular Party in such decisions.
