MC recently registered in the Department of Culture of the Autonomous Community, the initiation of a procedure for the declaration of BIC for the prison of San Antón, continuing the work begun years ago to favor the social use of this property and Its recovery for the neighborhood of San Antón.

The president and spokesman of MC, Jesus Giménez Gallo, has reported this initiative affirming that "it is a question of giving continuity to the work of MC that, since 2013, is the only party that has defended the social use of the enclosure , Being rejected at that moment by the PP of Barreiro;

In 2016 the central government, also of the PP, did not want to cede it without any consideration and, in 2017, we have succeeded in having the Plenary support us in the steps that the mayor initiated when he had knowledge of the sale ", thus referring , The MC spokesman to the motions presented by his municipal group and the local government's efforts in the spring of 2016.

Giménez has based the MC initiative in which "the heritage and rights of the people of Cartagena do not defend themselves with a slogan, that is bad political propaganda, and it is achieved by protecting it and adopting initiatives in that sense, and that we have done since MC The simple request of BIC protects the property and allows to continue advancing in its recovery for a social use, validating the efforts initiated by José López when he became aware of the acquisition through Of the media ".

This initiative demonstrates "MC's commitment to the neighborhood and the heritage of the whole municipality," adding that "the legal framework is the Heritage Law of the Region, and the arguments for its protection go from being an inseparable part of the Landscape of the neighborhood and the recent memory of the whole municipality, which left the death of the mayor in perpetuity of Cartagena, Alfonso Torres, or that its walls have housed criminals such as Lute and Vaquilla.

"However, our writing is based on its value as a sample of a concept of humanistic prison, which believed in the rehabilitation options of the inmate, and which we consider revolves around Victoria Kent," added Giménez.

Victoria Kent was a relevant Republican activist, who today recalls her confrontation with Clara Campoamor in relation to women's suffrage, being the first woman to join the Bar Association of Madrid (1925), in addition to occupying the position of director Of prisons between 1931 and 1932.

Regarding the urban situation of the building, the president of MC has confirmed that "it is a public equipment, according to the current planning (1987), and also to the one that is in process, as laid down the basis of the auction itself. Which have led to acquire it to its current owner, but what is clear is that this plot must have a public use and ownership, so we welcome the rapid reaction of the mayor requesting his transfer to the new owner. Use, the important thing is to protect the enclosure that could have been demolished at any moment because no administration has protected it ".

Reviews of other parties

Regarding criticism from opposition parties, Giménez has stated that "once again, reality surpasses the fiction and the facts of MC to the propaganda of other formations, MC has ensured the indemnity of the enclosure, while others play to Misinform and contradict themselves. "

"I trust that today CTSSP, and some associations that have attacked both this party and José López, apologize. His words attacking the mayor say one thing, but then, in their resources, they write others. Based on the fact that the City Council has not been aware of the auction, although they have been saying that it has been sold by the City Council, "said the president of the Cartagena formation, who added that" today is a good day to apologize and tell In this case, and with the neighborhood of San Antón, MC and the mayor have acted with diligence, guaranteeing a social use first and the protection now, other people, the truth to the cartageneros, that do not deserve politicians who use them in such a spurious way. Have launched empty proclamations and furious attacks, or opted for hypocrisy, like the PP that after years of abandonment, refusing to ask for the cession and voting against social use, has tried to fish the river uprooted.

Future of prison

MC's spokesman concluded by summarizing that "that is the usual and constant level of opposition at this time, attacking the mayor for doing things right, but they have no responsibility and do not show it.The reality is that the San Antón prison Will stand and have a social use thanks to the work of José López and MC, as channelers of the demands and needs of society, and there we will continue to be.
