The mayor of Cambiemos Murcia, Margarita Guerrero, has today called "nonsense" the partial closure of the Malecón's dissuasion parking lot, one of the most used during the holidays, for the celebration of an event for young people with the aim of avoiding the problems of capacity in the "Moros y Cristianos" enclosure that took place last year.
Guerrero has lamented that the youth policies carried out by the Councilor Rebeca Perez, Public Services head, are based on macro events such as "The youngest orchards", which she has considered "a replica of 'La Repanocha' or '' Murcia moves', in this case the argument used has been "avoid collapses" in the fairgrounds, we believe that the solution does not go by doing separate acts for young people but addressing the integral solution to a problem that is repeated every year.
The mayor insisted on "the need to work on the Youth Plan and overcome the dynamics of the three annual macro events, and young people need policies beyond leisure".
This government team offers "a lot of circus and little bread for young people in our municipality"
Regarding the location of the event, Guerrero pointed out that the closure, on which the City Council reported for the first time yesterday, responds to "a new sample of total absence of planning" from the government team "that has been unable to comply with the motion approved in full at the proposal of Cambiemos Murcia for the creation of a fairground that accommodates all activities without having to affect the environment of Cultural Interest (BIC) such as the Malecón ".
In addition, Guerrero recalled that regarding traffic and mobility management have not been reinforced public transport services that connect the center with neighborhoods and districts.
Therefore, people who want to approach the center "will have no alternatives" other than the usual routes of the bus, whose hours and frequencies are "limited", or the tram, which only covers the north, which will result in the "Collapse" of the places where the Fair's activities are held.
In addition, according to the General Plan for Urban Planning (PGOU), the Malecón car park is provisional as long as a green area is not built to link the river with the continuity of the monumental surroundings, a project whose execution has been requested in several We change Murcia while looking for alternative measures for parking as the extension of the one that exists on the other side of the river, in La Purísima-Barriomar.
