The councilman of the area of ​​Culture and Archaeological Heritage, Ricardo Segado (MC), this morning expressed his amazement at the statements made by the spokesman of the PP in the City of Cartagena, Francisco Espejo, in which he criticized the decision of MC of To send a letter to the bishop, José Manuel Lorca Planes, and to the Minister of Culture, Noelia Arroyo, in order to convene a table to promote and ensure the immediate hiring of a master plan to recover the Cathedral of Cartagena as a monument and also for worship .
Segado expressed his surprise at the "memory problems" of the popular councilman, showing that a little more than three weeks ago, on March 30, "Espejo voted in favor of a motion in which he reiterated to the General Directorate of Cultural Heritage of CARM, the requirement approved in the municipal plenary of September 2016, in order that this regional body requested the owner of the Cathedral of Cartagena (Diocese of Cartagena) to prepare a Master Plan that contemplates the integral restoration of The same and its opening to the cult ".
"Only some kind of temporary amnesia would explain a new episode of high school political hypocrisy in the local PP," said Segado.
"How can you criticize something that you have defended just three weeks ago?" Asked the local government's Culture and Heritage director, who reiterated the desire of the López government to "demand from everyone under Their responsibilities ", so that the higher administrations" comply with Cartagena ".
Ricardo Segado has recommended to Espejo that, "for deference to Cartagena's taxpayers who pay their salary, we read in detail the general budgets of the City of Cartagena, which will surely save some ridicule like the one made this morning."
And is that the General Budget of the City of Cartagena includes, for this year important investments in the field of heritage that far exceed the one hundred thousand euros alluded to by the leader of the popular Cartagena.
In this way, Segado added that in various actions, "more than 300 thousand euros in the Plaza de la Merced, 180 thousand euros in a Comprehensive Plan to upgrade the Torres Park, 200 thousand euros to continue work in the Roman Amphitheater, in addition to a significant amount to work in the Castle of the Watchtower, in this case, thanks to the remaining result of the business competition in the bidding of the winning projects in the Participatory Budgets.
"This figure will be closer to one million euros than the one hundred thousand euros to which Espejo refers. If I had used a morning of his 'work' would not have been evident, again more, although this circumstance is no longer noticeable ".
The town councilor of Patrimonio has listed other initiatives, such as the aerial photogrammetric study of the Roman Amphitheater and the hill of Despeñaperros, as well as others, articulated from Casco Antiguo, such as "the archaeological performances carried out on Mount Molinete, Monte Sacro and Castillo de The Moors, or the plan of flushing facades and lots through canvases, something easily executable, except for the PP government that was unable to do it, "has meant the councilman.
In reference to the Amphitheater, Ricardo Segado has reported that the last details are being drawn up to forward to the General Directorate of Cultural Property of CARM the project that draws conclusions from the surveys conducted in the Amphitheater and continue excavation through The preparation of the Master Plan.
This text will be sent throughout the month of May to encourage the start of work.
Inaction on the heritage of Cartagena
Segado has taken the opportunity to remember that, to date, regional investment in the Cathedral of Cartagena has been estimated at 40,000 euros, intended for consolidation work.
At the same time, he congratulated himself on the "timid awakening of regional investment in relation to the heritage of Cartagena", emphasizing that until May 2015, with the arrival of MC to the mayor, "little or nothing knew the regional interest in The Roman Amphitheater, the Cathedral, Monte Sacro, Despeñaperros or the Windmills, to name a few. "
Likewise, the councilman has referred to MC's willingness to bring together the authorized voices of the local heritage in the definition of political action in this area, through the creation of the Heritage Advisory Council.
Also to the impulse given by MC to the restoration of Monastery of San Ginés de la Jara, conjuncture that has been the result of the multiple actions carried out in this sense, through requirements to the commercial property owner of the monumental set, favoring agreements of the Board Of Government, as well as with numerous meetings and meetings.
Finally, Ricardo Segado has hoped that what Francisco Espejo said would not constitute a strategy to promote "an airy departure to the Ministry of Culture and the Diocese. From the Government of Cartagena we expect a step forward of both institutions in the fulfillment of their obligations".
