The municipal group of Citizens has announced that it will vote tomorrow against the proposal of budgets of the government team of the Popular Party, since it considers that “they are a continuity accounts that do not reflect the extraordinary situation that the Municipality lives by the Mar Menor state "
This has been highlighted by the local spokesman for the formation, Jos Luis Ros, who added that "the collapse of the Mar Menor will cause enormous damage to the Pinatarense economy of which the PP does not seem to be aware."
Ros considers the minimum aid raised by the 2020 Budget as "cosmetic", since & ld quo; they are more a statement for the gallery than serious aid to recover sectors such as commerce, tourism, fishing or traders. "
The spokesman believes that "the mayor is portrayed with this budget" and regrets that after Citizens have been asking for help from affected groups for months, "the PP's response is a ridiculous proposal of 60,000 euros to help our fishermen and another 60,000 in advertising and promotional activities ". Ros considers it" insulting "that not a single euro of direct aid be allocated to sectors such as commerce or merchants:" With these amounts we do nothing, they are cosmetic aids and facing the gallery " .
The orange spokesman believes that “this is the time to recover the Mar Menor brand for tourism” and has proposed a joint action by the Autonomous Community and all the municipalities of the Mar Menor to carry out “a joint promotion of tourism and commerce of the region ”, because in his opinion“ the separate sale of San Pedro del Pinatar, San Javier and Los Alczares will be worth nothing, we have to understand that the Mar Menor is our most powerful brand and in which we have to turn ”.
In addition, the spokesman for Citizens has launched the proposal to make San Pedro del Pinatar a center of the economy and green tourism: "This budget does not include a concrete measure to fight against climate change and make our municipality a sustainable reference in the Region. The Mar Menor has taught us that we must be sustainable and take care of the environment. "
