From the orange formation warn the counselor Noelia Arroyo that "it is not good to make a festival fast and running, at the cost of losing a consolidated brand on which we should continue working not to lose, especially if we consider the investment millionaire Which this festival has supposed "
Citizens have demanded that the regional government give more explanations about the situation of the festival SOS 4.8;
And clarify the information that is being spread these days about the celebration of a decaffeinated festival that the Ministry of Culture wants to launch under another brand, fast and running, and without clarifying and justify anything.
"If Culture is clear that the brand is yours because it claims conflicts," asks the mayor of Ciudadanos Paqui Pérez, who defended in plenary last January a motion, approved by a majority, asking that the SOS 4.8 brand should continue to be linked to Murcia "Something that, according to the counselor Noelia Arroyo, will not happen because they will dispense with the brand, despite its strength and international recognition."
In this sense, the Orange Councilor has warned Culture that "it is not a matter of celebrating a festival because yes, but of maintaining what already exists and is consolidated, especially considering the investment millionaire that we Murcia have assumed since he started".
"It seems embarrassing to us that this situation has arrived, when both the festival and the brand are already consolidated," said Paqui Pérez, who has once again complained to the PP that "fight to the end to maintain and further strengthen SOS 4.8 ".
He also recalled that, in 2016, both CARM and the City of Murcia acknowledged with presumption that the festival SOS 4.8 had contributed in its years of celebration to a clear promotion of the Region and the municipality of Murcia as a destination Cultural and tourist attractions;
Constituting a clear economic inventiveness and a decided commitment by the Murcia brand in the field of tourism.
Therefore, Citizens have demanded that this situation be clarified as soon as possible, and that the Ministry of Culture explain in detail how much public money is going to invest in this new festival that now want to create, in a hurried way.
"We are not for inventions, it has been much public money that the SOS 4.8 took to have to justify the need to start over;
Murcia deserves more cultural respect than our political managers are demonstrating, "he concluded.
