After hearing the latest news and information in the media about the procedures for the recovery of different heritage elements of Cartagena, MC again denounce the lack of will of the local and regional governments in this matter.
In the same way, the cartagenerista formation regrets that, to few weeks of the autonomic and municipal elections, the parties that to day of today sustain the executives of PP and PSOE in the CARM and the City council, with the pleasure of the match of the weather vane orange , Citizens, continue paralyzing key projects such as the recovery of the House of the Child, the Amphitheater or the return of the Roman Sillar of San Ginés de la Jara.
More than two years late to start the BIC of the Children's House
After the approval of the motion presented by MC in the municipal plenary session of December 30, 2016, in which the Directorate General of Cultural Assets (DGBC) of the CARM was urged to declare the Asset of Cultural Interest (BIC) with category of monument for the House of the Child, "both administrations pass the ball so that it does not fall on any roof", has assured the councilor and person in charge of heritage Cartagena, Ricardo Segado.
In the same sense, the mayor has shown that the Autonomous Community "is announcing works that have been delayed for more than two years, as it also delays the necessary legal protection of the entire heritage. they are not the ones that were announced nor do they suppose the integral recovery, they lack municipal license, to which it is necessary to add that the regional government neither has known to ask for it nor has signed the contract with the company that will carry out said works ".
New stumbling block with the Master Plan of the Roman Amphitheater
Regarding the recovery of the Roman Amphitheater, project promoted by the MC Government, Segado has outlined the new hurdle imposed by the CARM and the popular candidate for the Mayor of Cartagena, Noelia Arroyo.
"Now, communicate that the Master Plan of the Amphitheater, made by the Heritage Coordinator, Mari Carmen Berrocal, must go through the filter and the approval of the same DGBC."
It should be noted, the councilor from Cartagena stressed, "that this is the star project on which MC's patrimonial recovery policy was focused." Extensive documentation and cataloging of the remains was the first step followed by the consolidation plan. of walls and excavation of the first twenty meters of the southern sector of the building ".
The Sillar Romano of San Ginés de la Jara continues without returning to Cartagena
Finally, in relation to the Sillar Romano of San Ginés de la Jara, Ricardo Segado recalled that MC went to the headquarters of the DGBC to inquire about its location and current status, stolen in 2005 and recovered by the Guardia Civil in 2017 "In particular, we could verify that this patrimonial element is still in Murcia and, specifically, in its Archaeological Museum".
Thus, after a year and a half since its recovery, "El Sillar continues without returning to Cartagena due to the ineffectiveness of the regional and local governments, which prefer to continue playing with our heritage," said Segado, who concluded that "the Roman Chair of San Ginés de la Jara must return to our city to be the Department of Heritage which decides where it should be exposed to the public.
