MC celebrates the excellent data obtained reaffirming Cartagena as the cultural capital of the Region.
This is clear from the conclusions drawn from the study 'Culture in Spain in 2016', carried out by the Observatory of Culture of the Contemporary Foundation, in which 361 experts from the field of cultural management participated.
In this way, regional experts in the different aspects of cultural creation and production have meant two events organized by the City of Cartagena as the cultural representations of greater depth and impact in the Region.
These are 'La Mar de Músicas' and the 'Cartagena Jazz Festival'.
The list of the first ten events also includes a museum located in our city (MURAM);
As well as the International Film Festival of Cartagena (FICC), and The Night of Museums.
In short, five of the main cultural events in regional territory were held last year in Cartagena.
This reality, based on the opinion of independent experts, shows the absolute leadership exercised by Cartagena in the cultural field.
This is the consequence of a line of action sponsored by MC in the local Government and, in a special way, from the area of ​​Culture and Heritage directed by Ricardo Segado.
The coordinator of the Culture area of ​​MC, Ignacio Borgoñós, stressed that "the data we have learned that Cartagena is the cultural capital of the Region. From here I want to congratulate the area of ​​Culture and Heritage directed by Ricardo Segado, who, with little Economic support of the Autonomous Community, has achieved in just twenty months very good results that place the festivals and events of the municipality in the regional vanguard.
"It is further evidence to refute that the CARM's Department of Culture should move to Cartagena, in a gesture of decentralization that never comes despite the arguments are more than enough," concluded Borgoñós.
Cartagena in cultural key.
Example of management.
The good state of the cultural beat of the municipality acquires special repercussion due to the fact of being materialized thanks to a local Executive who has prioritized, as an inalienable objective, the revaluation of the different cultural representations that mean the municipality.
And it has done so by solving the evident shortage of resources inherited by the work of previous managers, altering this dynamic thanks to a recipe that includes work, imagination and a optimization of resources that allows to achieve more with less.
This, despite the lack of warmth and support received from the regional government, committed to privilege those of always to subtract a shine that is the undeniable leader in the cultural and tourist field.
A Government committed to the History and signs of identity
The presiding executive José López has put the means to contribute to this leadership with measures that influence a line of recognition of the history of Cartagena.
An example of this is the celebration of the Year of Modernism last year or the commemoration of the Year of the Enlightenment during 2017.
Also other proposals such as the First Festival of Historic Theater of Cartagena that took place during 2016, promoted from the management area of ​​Ricardo Segado, in collaboration with the Center for Dramatization of History (CCDH).
Initiatives that emphasize the will of the local Government to promote the knowledge and historical education of Cartagena through culture.
