Remember that in August 2018, the MC proposal to work on a 'Historic Wall Plan' was approved without any progress to date
The General Directorate of Cultural Property has dismissed this week the appeal raised by the mayor of MC Cartagena María Dolores Ruiz against the dismissal of his request to define a protection environment for the remains of the wall of Carlos III between the streets Carlos III , Ronda and Juan Fernández.
The head of Heritage of the Cartagena education has reported that "the Ministry of Culture considers it unnecessary to define the protection environment of the wall of Carlos III against the construction of a new building."
Next, Ruiz has added that the resolution contains "two surprising statements," which he detailed below.
"The first, the express recognition that the governments of the PP consented to the demolition of a part of the wall in the street of San Juan, despite being protected as part of the Historic Complex. The second, that they find the situation of the Wall of Earth in the area of ​​the old fish market ".
For the mayor of MC Cartagena "the sum of both, plus the return of the PP to the local government, we are very disturbed. We know that they have a very large poster that says 'Cartagena World Heritage Site', but not as big as their contempt towards our heritage, our history and our reality. "
Later, María Dolores Ruiz explained that the requirement of MC is that "the solution offered to bulwark No. 3 be combined with the section that has been recovered in the building that is being completed in front and that the priority is enjoyment and understanding of this part of the wall of Carlos III and not a few parking spaces. "
The precedents are disturbing
It should be remembered that, in August 2018, at the proposal of Ricardo Segado, the Municipal Plenary approved the development of updated regulations to decide on the excavation, conservation and enhancement of the remains of the layout of the historic walls.
In line with this circumstance, Ruiz recalled that "the Plenary approved the proposal of MC to promote a 'Plan of Historic Walls', but the PP abstained and now that Arroyo directs we fear that the result is not satisfactory" The mayor de MC concluded by informing that "we will ask the Government for this plan and its willingness to comply."
