Mayor Pilar Barreiro has closed in the early hours of this morning the XI edition of the Business Leaders Day of the District of Cartagena, which were held in the La Torre Golf resort in which they discussed and reflected on the world business in the region of Cartagena.
In the speech, the mayor noted that the objectives are drawn from a long time and, as you know, are to build a diversified economy and make the necessary infrastructure to develop.
Given the crisis situation that prevails in the country, has proposed several ideas that can improve the social and economic landscape.
One of them is not higher taxes, but working to lower costs and less need to concentrate on more investment return.
What not to do is raise taxes or take the companies' cash money that companies need to grow and even to stay alive, Pilar Barreiro stressed.
It has also identified the need to invest in projects and investments to growth in cities.
The high speed train is one of those basic pieces to our growth, he said.
It's one of those essential infrastructure so we can not allow doubts or hesitations occur in the proposed connection between Cartagena and Murcia for speeding.
He also recalled that two weeks ago we celebrated the news that the Government had agreed to increase investment in the region AVE.
That decision ensured that the AVE would Cartagena Murcia while and, moreover, I would put the center option, which is what travel is shorter and better connection to our future airport.
However, "continued" today we see posted statements that cast doubt on those commitments.
Another aspect discussed in his speech, has been the protection of agricultural variety that is the area of Cartagena, one of the most productive agricultural areas of Europe, which exports 80% of regional production.
The region is capable of generating 25% of Spanish fruit and vegetable exports by using only 3% of irrigation water.
