-Now Murcia denounces that today work continues between the Malecón and the accesses of the highway, started last Monday: "a new patch made with urgency and without prior planning", after the alarming statements of Councilman Pacheco on possible "incidents or problems that would make evacuation of the Malecón necessary "

- "It is inconceivable that 24 hours after the start of the Fair works are still being carried out that are necessary to protect and ensure visitors and workers of the Malecón site, this is Murcia de Ballesta, improvisation and constant delays"

-Now Murcia asks the government team the reason that "if these works were necessary for the plan of self-protection of the gardens and the camp, have been left for the last moment, we do not know if incompetence, improvisation or both"

Now Murcia has presented a battery of requirements to the government team of Mayor Ballesta before the alarming statements made last week by the councilor in charge of festivities and the occupation of the public highway, Jesús Pacheco.

The training wants to know the reports that guarantee the fulfillment of the current legality on security and festive events, necessary for this type of concentrations of people, and where the Police, Fire and Civil Protection endorse the installations and enclosures installed in the Malecón Garden, that must be issued before the opening of the same.

From the aforementioned statements, it can be seen that the Malecón garden, which has been turned into an inadequate party space by the Murcia City Council, could be a "mouse trap" for visitors, workers and volunteers from the different festeras, Huertos and Campamento facilities.

Literally, Councilman Pacheco publicly stated that:

We are going to have a new evacuation door, a new evacuation exit that will allow, in case there is a problem, especially given the success we are having in recent years, that we are having so much success that we are worried that arise some inconvenience, some incident and there was some problem with the evacuation of this area then it is going to open a new area and somehow, perhaps the most novel thing that we will have in terms of the measures that are going to be taken in this enclosure.

The municipal group has requested in writing the reports that analyze these "concerns" expressed by the councilman of celebrations, as well as the daily statistics of years ago on public affluence to the festeras facilities that are made in the Malecón garden, both in the Spring Festival as in the September Fair.

For Now Murcia, both these statements and the improvised works that are being carried out this week on the north side of the garden, still unfinished today and that this morning were still being developed a little more than 24 hours before the start of the Fair, denote the unsustainable situation of the Malecón garden, "a green space that does not meet the conditions of space and security for all the activity that the City Council concentrates on the Malecón, and we want to know the risks that have been generated so far".

Also, they add that "continue doing works 24 hours before the start of the holidays, is the example of a new patch made with urgency and without the necessary prior planning."

Now Murcia has also asked in writing to the government team the reason that "if these works were necessary for the plan of self-protection of the gardens and the camp, have been left for the last moment, we do not know if incompetence, improvisation or both things".

The municipal group wants to know the reports on these works carried out this week, which are assuming connecting the garden with the heavily traveled downhill of the Murcia "Ronda Oeste" highway, as well as the safety and self-protection plan, if there are any reports and plans, as well as the entity or administration in charge of the security of this site.

Now Murcia has written to the councils of Celebrations and Security and Citizen Protection requiring the reports of Local Police, Fire and Rescue and Civil Protection that had been made both for the organization and activities in the Malecón garden, and for the works of new accesses that take the exits towards an avenue of high density of traffic.

The training recalls that "the access stairs to the Malecón are poorly marked and even one of them is missing, as we have already denounced" as well as that "the placement of booths, fences and enclosures make the route chaotic and full of obstacles ", noting that" on the south side the Malecón is a wall that closes the exit, except for the few stairs, and the rest of the flanks is the descent of the highway, with an insurmountable wall when placing large panels and fences, with few exits ".

Finally, Now Murcia has indicated that "the incendiary statements of Councilman Pacheco leave concern about the management of our parties, and what they demonstrate is the need for a proper and dignified party venue, to relieve the current pressure on garden and promenade of the Malecón and allow you to recover once and for all your historic Botanic ".
