- Alicia Morales emphasizes the little seriousness of the councilman 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 huge irresponsibility"
NOW MURCIA denounces "the embarrassment and irresponsibility" of the Councilor for 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. "
Now Murcia has written today to Pacheco to know "what steps has the City Council taken to call for the public tender for the management of the theaters and municipal auditoriums announced in August 2015 and know on what date it plans to regularize said address , if you have 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 emphasizes that "if you review the announcement of Pacheco more than two years ago, provoke blush affirmations as that thanks to this measure Murcia was going to get 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, almost two years ago. this figure is 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 irresponsible, that from the opposition, or at least from Now Murcia, we will not stop pointing. "
The Councilor affirmed that "the Cultural Department of the seventh Spanish city is expected to plan and implement a cultural policy, rather than settle for activities on the streets of the city center. medium- and long-term project with fixed objectives ".
"Pacheco pointed out that one of the artistic director's tasks was the writing of a Master Plan for the 2016-19 Performing Arts," recalls Morales.
"We will not have a plan, at least, until 2018. If the Councilor for Culture and Tourism does not start to take his work much more seriously, Murcia will follow the queue of the most visited cities in Spain."
