Ortiz: 'Now Murcia first voted against the file to finance the rehabilitation work and then tried to make a bureaucratic gibberish to delay any attempt to recover the building.
Fortunately for the Murcia, We may have failed again '
The former Provincial Prison does not need to receive the declaration of cultural interest.
According to the resolution of the General Directorate of Cultural Property, according to the technical criterion maintained in the Historical Heritage Service report, the property is considered to be sufficiently valued culturally in the category of 'cataloged by its cultural relevance'.
This is reflected in the resolution last October 3, which dismissed the request for declaration of cultural interest presented by the councilor of Agora Murcia Alicia Morales.
"From the first moment we announce our intention to recover the old Old Jail, the municipal group of Now Murcia has only dedicated itself to putting obstacles and impediments against this action," said Councilor Roque Ortiz.
"It is their usual way of proceeding," he added, "because it is more important for them that the Popular Party can not develop beneficial actions for the municipality, even at the expense of hurting the Murcia people."
In this regard, Roque Ortiz recalled that Now Murcia voted against the financing file of this project, which was able to get ahead because his presentation in the Plenary is two or three councilors (depending on his loss of a councilman), insufficient to paralyze approval.
Last July they submitted the BIC request that has now been rejected.
In Ortiz's opinion, the only thing that Murcia was really trying to do was 'paralyze, obstruct and even prevent Murcia from being able to recover a unique space that has been abandoned for many years because its policy is that: no, no and no'.
Well listed
The resolution of Cultural Property, according to the technical criteria of Historical Heritage, considers that the property is sufficiently valued with its current category: well cataloged for its cultural relevance.
In this classification are the movable, immovable and immovable goods that have a significant cultural relevance and that do not deserve the protection derived from their declaration as goods of cultural interest.
It also provides for the obligation of the owner of the property to 'preserve, safeguard and protect them to ensure their integrity and prevent their destruction or deterioration'.
