Citizens today has shelled some of their proposals on culture and heritage in their electoral program, "there are issues that require an immediate response in 2019 and 2020 because the projects are there, I mean the musealization of the birthplace of Isaac Peral, Roman Amphitheater, Victoria Cave, Roman Quarries and the site and surroundings in the Plaza de la Merced;
also the recovery of the Cartagena Book Fair and the improvement of Carmen Conde's literary route will be something that can not be waived ", explained the candidate of Cs, Manuel Padín.
Isaac Peral House Museum
Citizens announced today that it will promote when the government is created the Isaac Peral Museum in the house that this illustrious Cartagena had in the Zorrilla alley of the city, "although we do not arrive, if we are decisive after the 26M, the Isaac Peral Museum It will have to start being a reality this year "says Manuel Padín.
"After more than three years neither PSOE nor MC have moved a finger to develop the project;
they have preferred to spend 500,000 euros to buy the Hotel Peninsular for a member of the localist party rather than to value one of the most international Cartagena ".
In addition, Ciudadanos also wants to establish a true cultural route, "as suggested by several voices such as those of the researchers, Diego Quevedo and Juan Ignacio Chacón;
we want to close the Peral triangle and enable a cultural route consisting of his birthplace, the submarine of the Naval Museum and the mausoleum where he is buried in the cemetery of Los Remedios in Santa Lucia. "
Cathedral, Roman Amphitheater, Victoria Cave
As for the Cathedral of Cartagena and the Roman Amphitheater, Manuel Padín, points out that MC only managed to stall all the dialogue, and the PSOE only started a declaration of intentions to the Government of Pedro Sánchez, "it is smoke, another empty promise of the two-party system, another trickery for electoral purposes;
Cs will work to demand the necessary economic commitments with legal obligations to execute the master plan of the Amphitheater and that of the Cathedral of Cartagena as we have demanded since 2015 in the Congress and in the Assembly, and will invest in the continuation of the archaeological interventions in the first case, "with respect to Santa María la Vieja we will undertake the roof to pass the bill to the Bishopric", warns Cs.
In addition, "we will request an audit to Hidrogea to alleviate the structural defects in the surroundings of the Cuesta de la Baronesa to solve the problems of humidity and channeling on behalf of the concessionaire," Padín promises.
The Liberal Party will also undertake actions, with a deadline of one and a half months, so that the entrances to Cueva Victoria will be adequate and allow to host relatively large groups of visitors on a regular basis.
Torres Park
"The Torres Park reform is a thorn in our side since we managed to promote a unanimous plenary agreement in 2016 that urged the Executive to design a comprehensive project to improve Torres Park that will integrate joint actions to take advantage of all its possibilities as a center for tourist attraction and green space associated with cultural, ecological and sporting activities ", assured Manuel Padín who explains that since then," MC and PSOE undertook small patches in the Auditorium and in the environment that do not meet our objectives ".
The plan of Cs goes not only by the replacement of the lighting, improvement of the Auditorium or the children's games, the renovation of the furniture or the tourist information signals, but above all by improving the connectivity with high frequency microbuses to facilitate the visits to the elderly people, people with reduced mobility and families and recover the tickets to the mountain from the north and south areas that will also help the transporters of scenic elements to the Auditorium.
Cs also intends to lower the prices of the tourist lift, continuous maintenance and cleaning services, increase leisure and sports activities, strengthen the interpretation center and promotion campaigns in the area through ambitious communication campaigns.
"All this will also influence the interest of entrepreneurs to manage after a public tender the restaurant that exists there municipally owned," says the spokesman for Cs.
Canteras Romanas, Casa Rubio and Book Fair
Ciudadanos will also launch a true Master Plan for the Roman Canteras site, rescue the UPCT report to rehabilitate the Rubio House in El Algar, highlight the Carmen Conde route, and recover the Cartagena Book Fair after ten years of absence.
