The Councilor for Culture and Heritage, Ricardo Segado (MC), regretted that, once again, the regional government disregarded its obligation to contribute to the restoration of the Cathedral of Cartagena, as it has recently been known not to include The projects presented to opt for 1% Cultural (the economic funds that the Law of Historical Patrimony establishes as obligatory to allocate in public works contracts for the conservation or enrichment of the Spanish Cultural Patrimony).

In this sense, Segado has said that the regional PP demonstrates, this time customizing it to its regional deputy, Elena Ruiz Valderas, "a null interest" to manage and take advantage of the various channels of national financing, such as "1% Cultural", in Benefit of "the restoration of the Cathedral and its opening to worship", as well as its lack of involvement to "intermediate" with the Diocese of Cartagena (the owner of the temple except for the chapels of the Council and Cristo del Socorro) .

Ricardo Segado has shown his displeasure at the fact that "the PP turns his back on the people of Cartagena," who, along with the local government led by MC, "has been vigorously vindicating an issue that is of historical justice," An aspect in which no administration that "manifests its vocation of service to the citizen must be alien."

The mayor recalled that "70 years of abandonment are enough. Cartagena Cathedral suffers an unsustainable situation, depriving cartageneros and visitors of a patrimonial property of great value."

Interest in the Roman Theater.

Question of priorities

Similarly, the head of the area of ​​Culture of the City of Cartagena has celebrated the interest of Valderas (director of the Museum of the Roman Theater) to opt for funds to excavate the remains of the portico of the Roman Theater.

It should be remembered that the City continues to pay, and will continue to do until 2021, the loan to pay for the recovery of the Roman Theater and the construction of its museum.

Finally, the mayor of MC has remarked that, in the current circumstances, deciding to "take a step forward towards the restoration of the Cathedral of Cartagena as a priority is the most logical and important decision, above abound in the Roman Theater. Among other things, due to the fact that the Cathedral 'crowns' the Theater. Betting on it would definitely enrich an architectural ensemble of great value. "
