The Municipal Socialist Group has requested a visit to the Old Jail to check the state of the building after heavy rains in recent months, while waiting for the result of the ideas contest convened to project the rehabilitation of the building.

Attempt to obtain information or results and not receive a reply, we will publicly insist on seeing if we achieve the transparency they preach. "
Regarding the visit to the Prison, he argues that "I would like to know the state of the building, given the time spent closed it is very likely that its deterioration is going more, especially after the last rainy seasons."
He also points out that this building not only has value because it is part of the memory of the Murcia or because it is an example of the architectural heritage, but because it is a magnificent space in the center of the city that could have different purposes.

In addition, Garcia Retegui warns that "we can not consent to announcements with hype and sheet that remain in a single photo because they are not followed, and the signing of an agreement in September with the College of Architects to carry out a contest of ideas with The purpose of rehabilitating the Old Prison has not been more than that, another photo without more transcendence.
