From that table must leave the contracting of the master plan, as well as an unequivocal will of the administrations and the owner of the property, the bishopric.

"If the bishopric of Cartagena does not work to open a cathedral to the cult, as it does not to clean the façade of Santa Maria, and counseling does not oblige to recover this good, the City Council perhaps should opt for drastic measures to obtain The ownership of the Cathedral, but it is a scenario that we do not contemplate, because we are convinced that the council will attend to the demands of citizens and the bishopric those of the people of Cartagena. "

The councilor of area recalls that "we have not faded in the claim and we are pending authorization to place information posters and also facilitate access.
