Huermur submitted a letter to the Ministry of Culture last August requiring immediate compliance with the obligation to open the Real Casino de Murcia for free at least four days a month, as required by the Law of Cultural heritage. The conservation group will demand that the regional administration initiate the corresponding file for the extension of the free hours, since the Real Casino has only established two hours on Sunday afternoons, and Huermur points out that this schedule is ridiculous. Huermur does not consider any "gift" for the Real Casino de Murcia to open its doors for free only for Christmas and temporarily, since it is a legal obligation to establish a schedule of free monthly visits throughout the year as it is a BIC building, and recalls that it was restored with 10 million public euros. The Association for the Conservation of the Huerta and Heritage of Murcia (Huermur) presented last August a letter addressed to the Ministry of Culture of the Region of Murcia, so that the Real Casino de Murcia to begin to open its doors for free four days a month throughout the year.

As established by Law 4/2007 on Cultural Heritage of the Region of Murcia, and state regulations.

All this, as the Real Casino is a monument cataloged and protected as a BIC Cultural Interest Site. This same week, Huermur has verified how on the Casino website a schedule of free visits has been established on Sundays from 7 to 9 p.m., but the conservation group describes this schedule as scarce and ridiculous, so it is going to urge the Ministry of Culture to review it and initiate the corresponding file for its expansion, at more normal and accessible hours. In this sense, the President of Huermur, Sergio Pacheco, has spoken, noting: "That the Real Casino de Murcia is only open for free eight hours a month, distributed on Sunday afternoons, seems ridiculous and This is why we are going to demand that Culture force it to establish a more consistent, wide and accessible schedule for the public, since this building is a BIC monument, and must be open four days at a time.

month free.

In addition, it seems that some forget that its restoration cost all Murcians ten million public euros.

" In the same sense, and before the announcement of the Casino to open for free during this Christmas and temporarily, Huermur does not consider that this gesture is any "gift", but an obligation established by law, which obliges its free opening during certain periods of time each month. Finally, Huermur has asked both the Minister of Culture, Esperanza Moreno, and the General Director of Cultural Assets, Rafael G mez, where is the due file that has had to be instructed for this purpose to approve the hours of Free visit of the Real Casino as it is a BIC monument, as the legislation establishes that it must be the public administration who, after processing the appropriate procedure, approve a calendar and schedule for this purpose.

To this day, and since August, Huermur has not been notified of any of these extremes.
