MC will present a motion at the next municipal plenary session to demand that Ara Pacis return permanently to Cartagena.

Thus, the training Cartagena, as it did two years ago, demand the Ministry of Culture to perform the necessary procedures with the Catalan Government for the return of one of the most important heritage elements in order to be exposed to the public in the museum space appropriate

In this sense, the councilor and responsible for Culture and Heritage of MC, Ricardo Segado, recalled that "in September 2016 we presented an initiative for the regional government to establish appropriate negotiations for Cartagena to recover the Altar of Health or as is better known, Ara Pacis, which continues to be located in the Archaeological Museum of Barcelona, ​​just as it happened with the Cathedral, it was a bishop who decided to stop respecting our heritage and stealing the history of the city to take it to Murcia. "

Fundamental piece to understand the past of Cartagena

After numerous comings and goings, the Ara Pacis ended up far from its place of origin, although guarded by a public administration, in particular by the Ministry of Culture and the Generalitat of Catalonia, "to whom it corresponds to return that fundamental piece to understand the past of Cartagena ", underlined Segado.

Also, the mayor has shown that previously other political groups, for more than twenty years, claimed the return of Ara Pacis, demands eluded by the direction of the Museum until there is a formal written by the CARM.

"Since then, only MC has been interested in this issue," said the Heritage Cartagena responsible, adding that in December 2017 a letter was sent, signed by Ricardo Segado himself, to the then Minister of Culture, �igo M�ndez of Vigo, to influence this issue.

Lack of political will

Finally, Segado has lamented the lack of will demonstrated by the major parties for the piece to return to Cartagena.

"They presented motions of postureo that they neither fulfill nor execute when they have to do it from their government responsibilities, nobody gets wet or complies with our city except MC, so we trust that this new proposal will emphasize this cause and that the return of the Altar is not delayed ".
