Tania Rojo, Secretary of Culture of Podemos Region of Murcia has indicated that we are facing "a new subjugation to a BIC, a historic monument declared of Cultural Interest." Therefore, we demand that the government put to work to protect it and restore and protect the entire heritage including the Molino del Batán and the ditch of the Azarbe Mayor del Norte.We fear that Ballesta wants to make a roundabout around a monument dating from the twelfth century. "

Rojo recalled that the Islamic Tower of the Moor, which is located on the old road of Monteagudo, is "a patrimonial element and great landscape value of the garden of Murcia since it is a Royal Surveillance Tower of medieval Islamic era, the XII Its purpose was to attract admiration and prestige towards the owners of the lands it dominated. "

Although, the Secretary of Culture of Podemos, the City of Murcia has said instead of "protecting and enforcing our culture and historical heritage in such a unique area as the garden of Murcia, what has allowed is the construction of concrete walls a few meters from the monument, it is a total nonsense since it will make it difficult to observe and appreciate correctly. "

In addition, Tania Rojo stressed that this action is "contradictory" with the investment that has been made in the area, about a hundred thousand euros, for "cleaning and clearing work and archaeological excavations that allowed locating several silos, a well of the XVII century and two accesses consisting of a staircase and the original ramp ".

According to the secretary of Cultura de Podemos, the HUERMUR association has already denounced that what Ballesta City Council wants is to "facilitate the creation of a roundabout projected around the fortification".

On the other hand, Tania Rojo has requested that since within the demarcation of the BIC monument is the section of the ditch of the Azarbe Mayor del Norte and the millennial mill of the Batán, "both in a sorry state, the entire patrimonial complex is protected so that it does not continue to deteriorate, the area is becoming a dunghill and graffiti mural.
