Of course, always in places where the safety distance can be guaranteed, with reduced capacity, under prior registration and complying with all the recommended sanitary measures, ”the mayor said.On the other hand, the first municipal councilor explained that “we have always thought that culture is safe as well as we believe in the importance of it for citizens.

For this reason, during these months, from the Department of Culture, led by the councilor, David Martínez Noguera, they have worked tirelessly so that culture continues to reach all citizens through online cultural programming ”.In fact, most of the cultural programming that was scheduled for these months is being broadcast through the TeleCartagena cameras and also on the YouTube channel of the Cartagena City Council.Castejón has also assured that “from the Department of Culture they have been in permanent contact with the Union of Theater Companies.

During this meeting we have been able to listen to their demands and, for the moment, we are already thinking about cultural activities for Christmas, which would focus on programs focused on families and also children's programming.

I insist, all this would take place if epidemiological data continue to improve ”.For his part, Alfredo Ávila, representative of the Union of Theatrical Companies of Cartagena has expressed his gratitude to the Cartagena City Council: “We want to show our gratitude to the City Council for the continuous and total support to the professional theater sector of Cartagena, especially during this pandemic that is affecting the cultural sector so much ”.In addition, Alfredo Ávila has stated that “during the meeting, we raised our concern about the situation of non-face-to-face activity of culture but we have received the good news that, at our request and the concern also expressed by the City Council, it will shortly be able to open culture face-to-face, with the logical measures of the situation we are going through ”.
