This morning, the coordinator of Patrimony of MC Cartagena, María Dolores Ruiz, has alarmed the inaction of the Ministry of Culture of the CARM, accomplice in the abandonment that the property of Villa Calamari is submitting to the farm, "engaging (the real estate ) on paper to a ridiculous maintenance plan that not only does not allow the public visit to the monument, but also, it is completely ineffective given the state of abandonment to which it has been directed ".

With these words lamented Ruiz the current state of Villa Calamari (1900), known as Versailles Palace, work of the architect Víctor Beltrí, (located on the road to San Felix and declared BIC since May 2012 with category of monument).

Once the situation has been contextualized, María Dolores Ruiz has informed that "we will ask the Ombudsman to initiate the complaint file in the Office of the Prosecutor against the Ministry of Culture for alleged crimes of pillage and omission against property, referred to in articles 321 and following of the Penal Code, we will also ask you to study possible infractions for prevarication ".

At this point, the Cartagena responsible for Heritage has delved into "the shameful performance of a regional administration that has among its obligations the safeguarding of heritage, consenting to the plundering of one of our most beautiful modernist villas, while trying to deceive those who request your protection. "

Therefore, Ruiz recalled "the numerous initiatives arising from different entities to force the CARM to initiate proceedings that oblige the owner to clean and allow the visit of the monument, without that until now we have knowledge of the initiation of any file" .

"The leader of MC has put the accent on" two of the great accomplices, who have contributed decisively to the deterioration of the site, on the one hand, María Comas, from the General Directorate of Cultural Assets. returned Noelia Arroyo, ceased in his duties in the Ministry, who with a mixture of neglect and disability has facilitated Villa Calamari continue to deteriorate.

More concretely, Ruiz has urged the regional government to "compel the property to replace the deteriorated or subtracted elements, initiating the opening of an exemplary sanctioning process or, where appropriate, begin the procedures to plunder the farm for lack of surveillance, custody and protection of a monument that is, a little, of all of us ".

Subsequently, has warned about the breach "in the opening of the property to the public visit for more than three years, legal obligation that does not admit more excuse"

María Dolores Ruiz has ended up regretting that "we have to fight against the administration itself, which deliberately forgets what its obligations are regarding the care and protection of the heritage." We will not settle for a simple statement from an administration that systematically fails to comply with Cartagena We will take one more step. "
