This morning the municipal government has known that the Autonomous Community of the Region of Murcia (CARM) and the Bishopric seem to have a plan for the Cathedral of Cartagena.

This project would be based, according to the regional administration in question to the Ministry of Culture, through the Institute of Cultural Heritage of Spain, its value as heritage and tourism resource, and its inclusion in the path of the Roman Theatre Museum.

The area councilor for Culture and Heritage, Ricardo Segado, praised this approach, moving the opinion of the municipal government in this regard: It seems a biased and inadequate proposal, he said.

For us, any ideas that try to reduce the historical and heritage value of St. Mary Major Cathedral is a new attack and disrespect to the history of this city.

Mowing has stated that the local Executive supports citizens' claims and believes that any action to carry out the Bishopric of hand CARM should be agreed with the municipal government and serve the inescapable ultimate goal of achieving full restoration.

The Head of Culture of the Consistory said that Cartagena Cathedral is a symbol as a transmitter building traditions.

Not only the Bishopric, for obvious reasons, should work to recover it for worship, but also the CARM has an obligation to defend it and not use it as a supplement to the Roman Theatre.

In the mayor opinion, the undoubted attraction Roman Theatre can not be an excuse for projects fagociten the Cathedral.

The heritage of the municipality is huge, but this does not justify the abandonment and neglect of previous years, and the design of plans that seek to reduce and sometimes tear pages to the book of the history of Cartagena, has stated the councilman.

Ricardo Segado concluded by saying that the Government works to which I belong, with its mayor, Jose Lopez, head, maintain and restore the heritage and traditions of the municipality.

We will not accept that politicians or managers with little broadmindedness work in reducing or summarize it.

Therefore, knowing these projects and ask that fit only to respect Alfin Santa Maria Maggiore Cathedral and not as an additional attraction.

We are pleased that the CARM and the Bishopric remember her after so many years of indifference.

Now, our goal is to get considered with the respect it deserves this BIC and the feeling that this landmark building awakens in Cartagena, was completed.
