Socialist Party MP, Teresa Rosique, said the Minister of Culture, Pedro Alberto Cruz, tried to "give the little card scam with Muram" during his appearance in the Assembly to announce that the museum will open in April 2009 without the library of Marifí Plazas.

To Rosique the regional government fails and the agreements signed in 2001 and 2004 "by pledging to create the Regional Museum of Modern Art's collection basis 'Marifí Plazas', which gave way to the Autonomous Community for free for a period of 20 years. "

"To achieve these commitments by the regional government agreed to extend the Palacio de Aguirre with the acquisition of two adjacent plots: one in the Plaza de la Merced, and other San Diego street. These works should be completed and Museum operation in 2007. Currently the site of the San Diego Street has not yet been acquired by the regional government. "

The Minister of Culture yesterday in the Assembly intended, in the opinion of the socialist deputy, "us for a ride to announce that they intend to launch out on April 9 is the Muram.

This, despite acknowledging that by that date will have the collection "Marifí Plazas' but is open only to the artist's works Cartagena González Moreno and exhibition halls.

And having done the work of the site of San Diego. "

To Rosique to the "inability to meet regional government commitments to Muram, we must add their lack of ambition to ensure that the museum has what brings Marifí library space."

These 300 works of art from 85 artists of the twentieth century among which are names like Tapies, Dali, Bores, Miró, Saura, Canogar, Leiro, Clave, Viola and Valdés, among others.

He added that although the adviser said that "negotiations with the owner of the collection were advanced planning which the director presented yesterday at the Regional Assembly for the opening of the Palais de Aguirre show that they are not."

From the Socialist parliamentary group "we remain concerned about the risk of losing a collection as important as this, concerned that far from being dissipated by the intervention of the grew yesterday."

The PSOE will not accept "the change had intended to give us the Muram regional government."

Rosique said Cartagena and Murcia can not lose the historic opportunity to have an authentic regional museum of modern art.

Socialist Parliamentary Group has submitted a motion asking the regional government to ensure the acquisition of the collection 'Marifí Plazas' and create a museum of modern art in Cartagena.
