Ruiz rejects "the hypocrisy of local and regional governments that speak of World Heritage Sites while they fall the Wall of Carlos III"
MC Cartagena has been aware of the result of the complaint filed by the Virgen de la Caridad Citizen Platform, an entity advised by the mayor of MC and responsible for Heritage of the Cartagena formation, María Dolores Ruiz, which led to the inspection of the General Directorate of Assets Cultural (DGBC) of the CARM to the Wall of Carlos III (Well of Cultural Interest), in its section of the Rambla de Benipila.
As a result, the DGBC has urged the Ministry of Culture "to carry out an inspection on the terrible state of conservation of the wall and the works that the Navantia company is carrying out on it without any conservation."
This is because, as reflected in the report, "the property of the wall in this area" is the Ministry of Defense, "a fact confirmed with the cadastral record of the estate of the castle of Galeras."
It should also be mentioned that the DGBC report must also be notified to the Ministries of Culture and Defense.
The denunciation of the Platform, which has had the impulse of María Dolores Ruiz, "draws attention to another of the plundering of our heritage that we have been denouncing both from MC and from associations."
Specifically, the mayor of MC, María Dolores Ruiz, has reviewed "the hypocrisy of local and regional governments who take the photo and talk about World Heritage Sites while they drop the wall of Carlos III before his flagrant neglect."
In this line, he has denounced that "López Miras boasted of our spectacular walls, curiously one day before the report of the General Directorate of Cultural Property that speaks of the very serious state of Carlos III, knowing trying to cover with propaganda his disinterest in heritage protection. "
Ruiz reminded the regional president that "they already have the honor that a section of the Wall, from Heroes de Cavite to the Naval Hospital, does not comply with the heritage legislation as the Supreme Court ruled. Now, they add the Benipila section to this policy of annihilation of property. "
On the action of the municipal government, María Dolores Ruiz has indicated that the "City Council received, like the General Directorate of Cultural Property, the same complaint about the state of the Wall. However, the mayor has not even responded to the Platform, true to its good forms and interest in the municipality, despite being its obligation as governor to send municipal technicians to know the status of the complaint, as well as collaborate with other administrations to face solutions.But it has not been so, something which is not surprising since we already know that the trinque occupies all the time in Castejón and there is no space for management and citizen service. "
The alert report of the serious state of the Wall of Carlos III
Among other issues, the report states "that the curtain on the wall of the front of Benipila is crossed by tubes, some that have poured black paints and others are pouring, even today, sewage of possible organic origin; the growth of vegetation , that the wall is covered by electrical wiring and fiber optic boxes have been installed, the numerous graffiti, the discharge of water from the ships attached to the wall that flow into the wall, the deterioration of the sandstone of the corners of the bulwarks, the opening of accesses in the wall for the entrance of the vehicles and the workers of Navantia, the deterioration of the environment due to the parking of vehicles and the existence of garbage, as well as the degradation of the bulwark n ° 9, that is propped up. "
Also, the DGBC reflects that "the Wall of Carlos III on the front of Benipila closes the Navantia company facilities, so the BIC is under its responsibility, so it is up to it to keep, maintain and guard said wall from the bulwark n 9 to the bulwark n ° 6 ".
