Cartagena UPyD states that "the Sports Palace is one of the main infrastructure of the city, and has 3 years of delay on the delivery date."
According UPyD "at this time has increased its budget 1.6 million euros. The City Council and the joint venture are now negotiating a further increase after 18 months of work."
UPyD argues that "the work to be awarded in the contest, the JV should follow the budget, or what the law allows as an extraordinary item increased by changes in work. Also should require penalties for delays. The City Council should not yield to these pressures, or speculate on the date of delivery of the work within a year, just on the eve of municipal elections. "
Also, UPyD maintains that "should take into account the needs of the rest of the region at the time of setting budgets: The sports facilities in many towns and councils of Cartagena are totally inadequate. UPyD intends to use the penalties to other builders have not executed their work on time or correctly to improve infrastructure, sports and otherwise, of the districts and councils of the municipality.
