- Alicia Morales stresses the lack of seriousness of the councilor and Ballesta, "who had the nerve to assure that they would put Murcia to theatrical height of Chicago and New York.The empty ads of the PP are a great irresponsibility"
NOW MURCIA denounces the "enormous tease" of Councilman of Culture and Tourism, Jesus Pacheco, and Mayor Ballesta regarding the public contest for the artistic direction of the theaters and auditoriums of the municipality.
The spokeswoman, Alicia Morales, points out that "not because it is a common practice of the PP ceases to alarm us its habit of announcing projects in high esteem of which nothing is ever heard again." His attitude shows a lack of seriousness and responsibility Which Murcia do not deserve. "
The mayor explains that Now Murcia registered for the Plenary of last Thursday a question about this subject, to know "what procedures the City Council has done for the call for the public contest for the direction of the municipal theaters that announced in August of 2015 and to know On what date he intends to regularize that address, if he has planned it. "
Morales points out that "from the opposition groups and from Now Murcia we have asked the Councilor for Culture about this contest on numerous occasions, without obtaining a response, and we have demanded in vain to meet him." The lack of transparency is absolute.
The mayor stresses that "if you review the announcement of Pacheco almost two years ago, they provoke a huge blush affirmations like that thanks to this measure Murcia was going to put itself to the theatrical height of Chicago and New York."
The mayor recalls that "according to Pacheco, the incorporation of the new artistic director of the three theaters of Murcia and the five municipal auditoriums would take place in January 2016, that is to say, a year and a half ago.It is not only that we are still without This figure has been announced, but the PP has never again referred to this matter, as if the announcement of something magically supposed its materialization. Ballesta has to realize once that the big ads without real performances Are an irresponsibility, that from the opposition, or at least from Now Murcia, we will not stop pointing. "
The Councilor affirms that "the Cultural Department of the seventh Spanish city expects the planning and execution of a cultural policy, instead of being satisfied with filling the streets of the city center. Project in the medium and long term with certain objectives. "
"Pacheco noted that one of the artistic director's assignments was the writing of a 2016-19 Performing Arts Master Plan," Morales recalls.
"We will not have a plan, at least, until 2018. If the Councilor for Culture and Tourism does not start taking his work much more seriously, Murcia will continue to tail the most visited cities in Spain, as it was known a few days ago."
