After the request of Huermur, last October, the Ministry of Culture has had to initiate again the due BIC protection environment of the monument of the Paseo del Malecón to which the Heritage Law obliges.
Huermur has urged the City Council of Murcia to suspend the urban planning licenses granted to buildings being built, as well as the prohibition of granting new permits under articles 14 and 15 of Law 4/2007 on Cultural Heritage.
The conservation entity regrets that due to the mismanagement of the Ministry of Culture, the previous protection file, also requested by Huermur, has expired, as well as urges the City of Murcia to actively collaborate to establish the proper protection of the unique monument of the Paseo del Malecón .
The Association for the Conservation of the Huerta and the Heritage of Murcia (Huermur) has once again achieved that the BIC protection environment of the monument of the Paseo del Malecón in Murcia is initiated.
An environment of protection whose existence is required by virtue of the mandates contained in Law 4/2007 of Cultural Heritage of the Region of Murcia for all monuments declared of Cultural Interest BIC.
This has been recognized by the Director General of Cultural Bines of the Ministry of Culture in a certificate sent to Huermur a few days ago, in which such opening is recognized by the Ministry of Law, after the request of the association, and full power legal effects the aforementioned opening of the BIC environment of the Paseo del Malecón.
Huermur had to reapply for this protection by having expired from the Ministry of Culture the previous file also urged by the conservation entity, an expiration that has recently been published in the Official Gazette as a previous and necessary step for the start of the new file.
Huermur has also urged the regional administration to publish immediately due and without further delay the proper opening of the file to continue with the procedures provided for in the legislation.
In the same vein, Huermur has sent the aforementioned certificate of the Director General of Cultural Property to the City Council of Murcia and the Town Planning Council, in order to urge the immediate suspension of urban planning licenses granted in the monument's protection environment, as well as the prohibition of granting new permits, under articles 14 and 15 of Law 4/2007 on Cultural Heritage.
Huermur reminds both those responsible for the Ministry of Culture and those of the City of Murcia, the obligation to "follow together" the legal system in terms of urban and administrative deadlines and obligations in order to fully ensure proper protection and conservation of the monument declared of Cultural Interest of the Paseo del Malecón in Murcia.
In the same sense, the President of Huermur, Sergio Pacheco, has stated that: "It is the second time that the opening of the protection environment of this important monument of our land whose existence is required by law, is requested that from Huermur we hope not to have to reapply on more occasions, because if that were the case, we would be forced to have to communicate that situation before the appropriate instances. "
The environment urged by Huermur covers a wide area, which covers the most significant spaces next to this monument of Murcia, such as the areas of the garden that are still preserved, historical buildings, and the various ditches and channels of the traditional irrigation that run through the environment.
Huermur hopes with this protection, that the constant and deep degradation to which the BIC monument of the Paseo del Malecón has been subjected for years has been stopped.
Finally, the conservation group recalls the importance of the Paseo del Malecón over the centuries and whose origins date back to the fifteenth century, as a fundamental infrastructure to deal with the feared avenues and floods of the Segura River, and that It has shaped the landscape closest to Murcia, assuming a heritage element that symbolizes the union of the garden with the city, thus making it known as a National Monument in 1982.
