City of Cartagena (MC) Movement, after knowing the intentions of the Ministry of Culture, which has been scheduled for May in Madrid the first public exhibition of the cargo and treasure of the frigate `Our Lady of Mercy ', particularly in the Museum National Archaeological Museum and the Naval, wishes to express its rejection of this initiative because it thinks that the appropriate place for such exposure is Cartagena, the city where the National Museum of Underwater Archaeology (ARQUA) and where the treasure was deposited .

For the mayor of MC, José López, "We regret that the mayor, Pilar Barreiro, presumed his friendship with the minister Wert and then being unable to demonstrate in defending the interests of Cartagena precisely in his ministry, as in this case Treasure of the frigate `Our Lady of Mercy ', the first public exhibition should be in Cartagena and not in Madrid, releasing a unique opportunity to project the city to the world."

He adds that "the slogan that Cartagena City Treasury must then live here because Ali Baba and his forty thieves and not because the main exhibition is to be held here since the government team headed by Ms. Barreiro does not care Cartagena ninguneada left when he should be speaking out to defend the first exposure was made in the ARQUA. Undoubtedly, this passivity is not the best way to defend the interests of Cartagena ".

MC wants to make clear that it is not against the treasure is displayed in other cities through traveling exhibitions, but by no means agree that the first exposure, assumed the most interesting and draw attention for novelty, is made elsewhere than the ARQUA.

Similarly, MC wishes to express its disappointment that not only has not been met with the exhibition calendar for the treasure of the frigate returned to the Spanish Government for the company treasure hunters Odyssey, as expected, that included an exhibition in October 2013, but now the exhibition will be in Madrid all without setting any date for Cartagena, bringing all the attention will be forfeited and cease to have incentives tourism both would do well to local hospitality.
