The municipal groups of PSOE and Cambiemos Murcia, and the councilor not attached Luis Alberto Bermejo, have submitted a motion to the Plenary next Thursday to be the citizenship, through a methodologically accredited participatory process, who decides on the uses of the rehabilitated building Of the Old Jail.

The formations have explained that this proposal, part of the Citizen Platform Cárcel Vieja Memory and Culture, raises the need for the process to fit the established urban planning considerations and counts on the collaboration of sectors such as cultural agents, associations in defense Of the patrimony, entrepreneurs of the zone and vowels of the Municipal Boards.

Also the Official College of Architects of Murcia (COAMU) proposed at the time to hold participatory citizen workshops on the uses of the property.

Precisely, the municipal groups remember, it was an electoral promise of the mayor, Jose Ballesta, that for this process was going to have groups, something that is not happening.

Both Cambiemos Murcia and the Socialist group and Bermejo have agreed that the Old Prison is an emblematic building that "represents a voice of the past that has to be heard," which makes it essential that "their rescue for citizens" respond to the "character Singular integrator and respect for the social, cultural and political diversity characteristic of our city. "

"The process of rehabilitation and implementation must be open, inclusive and essentially participatory" at the neighborhood, citizen, associative and institutional levels, as a key factor "of its future social and cultural function, and of its Social and citizen roots ".

The motion also calls for the definition of memorialist aspects to be included in the pre-draft competition bases, including a museum of democracy, historical memory and human rights, as well as a resource to support the research work on The local historical memory.

Likewise, it is important that the jury of the new competition has members of the Association of Historical Memory-We Have Memory, a university researcher in contemporary history and another that represents each of the municipal groups.

Note that, in any case, the hotel-type uses will be the first to culminate in preventing the reduction or blurring of the memorialist and cultural value is another of the requests of the initiative.
