Note sent by the Platform for Mobility against Garden Parking in San Esteban and Freedom:
They criticize that the City Council of Murcia persists in denying the evidence, and maintain a total darkness over archaeological excavations, which aims to avoid information to citizens, and eliminate any possibility of obstacles to building a parking in the heart of the city, as opposed to any approach to sustainable mobility.
The Platform for Mobility "against the Garden Parking in San Esteban y Libertad regrets the recent statements issued by the Executive Councillor for Traffic Safety and the City of Murcia, Mrs Nuria Fuentes, of archaeological evidence seen in the Garden San Esteban, and is obliged to answer them:
First, remember the City of Murcia that the presence of archaeological remains in the basement of St. Stephen's Garden is just one of many arguments and reasons given for this platform to demand the immediate withdrawal of a proposed park, which incidentally few years ago was ruled out after fierce opposition, among others, the same people who today are determined to carry it out, whatever the cost and contradicting the same reasons which then wielded.
There are many reasons to definitely rule out this project: the future will cause traffic problems, their contribution to worsening climate change, increased air pollution, increased noise, increased road safety for pedestrians (especially children and elderly), their contribution to a disastrous strategic planning of urban mobility in the municipality, the disappearance of a garden in the heart of the city to replace it with a solar planters paved with no shade and chimney out of toxic gases, legal contradictions of such an environment project with BIC and Park District, the opposition of thousands of citizens, etc.
Second, the fact that it continues to deny the presence of some remnants that any passerby can see is something almost pathological or demonstration of an absolute ignorance, and gives an idea of what is the true policy of this council with respect to information citizens of the municipality, which more misinformation.
The Platform believes that either the Councillor has not adequately informed or has visited the area, or is that what is desperately trying to avoid a public debate on the importance of the remains found and finally end up asking citizens conservation.
The statements made yesterday to the press by Nuria Fuentes are illuminating in themselves, "only they have found remains of the foundations of the old lunatic asylum in the late nineteenth century without archaeological value," and even goes on to say that "now they want to stop these works with the creation of a large archaeological site with remains that do not exist "
We invite all to Murcia Murcia and close to the garden and personally verify the existence of a network of archaeological remains can be seen with the naked eye, and obviously do not correspond to any modern building foundations.
Also, remind the City of Murcia in a democracy the fact of winning the election does not give "carte blanche" to carry out any action that pleases the government team.
Still less when, as in this case, neither mentioning the project in the electoral program, and is reflected in electoral advertising.
Therefore, not only this project has been legitimized in the polls, but has also has the honor of being the most contested municipal project throughout the term of this government team.
However, despite having delivered to the session more than 65,000 signatures opposing the project, Mayor Miguel Angel House has refused to ever receive this platform, ignoring the numerous requests for a hearing submitted in recent years.
In conclusion, the platform insists that the presence of archaeological remains is obvious, but equally obvious is that we are minimizing the importance of the City Council therefore calls for an immediate report made public on the status of archaeological excavations, and promised to open the web page promised that we would keep us informed of developments in the archaeological study of the area.
In addition, it calls for more construction is ruled out of that car, for environmental, health, mobility and cultural.
