"The first monumental cemetery of the Region of Murcia is still not in the network of cemeteries of the ASCE because the City Council, as recognized in the House, does not know how to make the online payment of the entrance fee," recriminates the spokesman of Cs Cartagena
The Los Remedios cemetery in Santa Lucia continues today outside the European Cemeteries Route, as today Citizens have been able to confirm today by consulting the entity that manages it, the Association of Significant Cemeteries of Europe (ASCE).
Since the regular plenary in July 2016, the local government has been justifying the breach of the agreement by assuring that it does not know how to pay the monthly fee to the Association of Significant Cemeteries of Europe (ASCE), an entity that accepted inclusion in its network. of the Cartagena cemetery, and that is waiting for payment, "said the orange spokesman, Manuel Padin, who considers" disheartening that this City Council does not know how to make a telematic transfer of money or have found in three years a viable alternative to perform the payment. "" There are some Spanish municipalities on the route, how difficult is it to pick up the phone and call to find out how they pay the fee? "the spokesperson asked.
The Council of Europe has wanted to support funeral tourism in recent years, and has recognized the European Route of Cemeteries with the mention of Cultural Itinerary, the same distinction that has such prestigious routes as the Camino de Santiago.
The route promotes this valuable heritage through a network of cities that have especially significant cemeteries.
The ASCE is a non-profit association, with a marked European character in which all public and private entities that manage or conserve the tangible and intangible heritage of cemeteries are located.
Currently, it includes the 179 most important cemeteries in more than 50 cities in 22 countries and its objective is to promote the restoration of the funerary landscape, convert these spaces into a tool of knowledge and continuous research, and operate with a clear educational vocation so that schools incorporate it into their cultural visits.
In addition, they revalue these places by offering a cultural product where, in a unique way, history, art, memory and nature are intertwined, through tours of great variety and cultural richness.
"From Cs we consider that the Cemetery of Santa Lucía, one of the best testimonies of the history of Cartagena and the first monumental cemetery of the Region, deserves to be integrated into this network because it would promote the funerary heritage of the city placing it at the same level as other European graveyards of great historical and artistic importance, "explained the spokesman Manuel Padín, who says it has been" the situation of continuous degradation and plundering have forced us, before the Government's sloppiness, to propose this road map to dignify this Treasure of Cartagena ".
