The councilman of Cambiemos Murcia Nacho Tornel today said that the budget proposal of the Government team for the reform and expansion of the Museum of Science in 2017 is "insulting" because it "leaves aside" the potential of this municipal service and demonstrates The "political myopia" of the Government team "not to take advantage of a scientific and educational project on the rise".

The mayor explained that the City Council will dedicate only 200,000 euros, an item "of all scarce", to move machinery and not to make a report on the needs of the Museum or to undertake remodeling works, which is what raised the agreement that Adopted the Corporation when it unanimously adopted a motion on the matter in November 2015.

In this sense, he recalled that hardly has been executed the budget addressed to the Museum in the accounts for 2016. And "another year we find that the planned investment is not close to what was budgeted at the time by Urbamusa, who Cost the works for the enlargement of a single plant in just under 2.5 million euros. "

In his opinion, the decision of the Councilor for Employment, Tourism and Culture, Jesús Francisco Pacheco, "makes it clear that it is among his priorities to implement an initiative that went ahead with the support of all groups, including his, Improve the cultural services offered by Murcia ".

For this reason, Tornel continues to demand an expansion of the Museum that meets current and future demands and meets the needs of this infrastructure, whose design "has become small and obsolete" to receive a number of visitors that increases year by year.

He also called attention to the need to "consider the suitability of starting other projects leaving aside the growth of those already consolidated", as is the case of this Museum, which after 20 years has not been the subject of remodeling works.

"The material conditions impede the development and evolution of the Museum's educational and scientific projects, which means that the economic and human resources invested so far are not being taken advantage of," concluded the municipal councilor.
