| María Dolores Ruiz: "They asked for almost ten million and they neither act nor return the money to the banks" | More than a year has passed since our municipality and the region suffered the effects caused by DANA, an atmospheric phenomenon that left behind numerous damages to which our heritage was not alien. An example of this is the Roman Amphitheater of Cartagena, to whose protection, through a fence, the Government indicated that it would allocate part of the nine million euros requested in loans last year for actions to alleviate the damage caused by the cold drop. Obviously, none of that has been converted into a concrete action, so the future of the deposit is in question.

MC Cartagena's concern has been expressed by the head of Heritage, María Dolores Ruiz. "A part of the Amphitheater has been at risk of detachment for more than a year and the local government looks the other way," the mayor has started arguing. Later, Ruiz has revealed that "through a neighbor of the area we have had access to a photographic report that proves that the western part, which faces Gisbert street, is in an unstable balance, something that brings cause in the DANA of 14 months ago and that has not yet been corrected.

" "Since the end of 2019, our Group has requested access to the site and the local government has not allowed it," recalled the Cartagena councilor. In the specific case of this jewel of heritage, María Dolores Ruiz has indicated that "we know that this Executive is more concerned with hiding MC's footprint and signing up for the projects that we promote than its successful end, but being able to let it lose would be dramatic for Cartagena ". Finally, the MC councilor added that "there are no economic excuses, because the local government indebted the City Council by 10 million euros at the end of 2019 to attend to these damages and has not undertaken the works or returned the money to the banks, a new example of his contempt for Cartagena and our heritage.
