Secretary of Culture of the Socialist Municipal Executive, Angela Martinez Sanchez, has reported today at a press conference "the horror or humor who has offered the city of Murcia in August if we stick to the poor cultural programming."
Martinez explains that "this month, partly because of the economic crisis or because the trend is to distribute your Spanish holiday period throughout the year, the city of Murcia has not been as empty as other years, and of Murcia walk has encountered a series called 'Summer Murcia. "
This cycle from June to August has scheduled a total of 16 performances, eight of them in August (four sessions and four family film performances of music and ballet) and the Socialists are asking "whether it is sufficient for a city aspiring to be European Capital of Culture in 2016. "
Martinez contends that "here it seems that with the arrival of the September Fair anything goes and we have to resign ourselves to suffer the rigors of heat and poor cultural offer that seem typical of a nightmare than the dream of a summer night."
Responsible for Culture, said that "while other candidate cities, which themselves have been taken seriously the candidacy of 2016, because remember that Murcia has neither a website, have used the summer to promote their project and attract tourists. "
Thus we find in the competitors offerings like "A Summer sinners' in Zaragoza, the Fresh Festival Go to Cuenca, the concert series' August Moon in Caceres, the festival 'Music Pamplona Key' or 'Nights of Enchantment 'in Cordoba.
If we compared to fifteen other candidate cities, Martinez said that "at least we can say that the supply of Murcia is the third category, provincial, without a shred of originality because it also repeats itself every year and certainly not promoted in all our city ".
The head of Culture recommends to the City Council take note of other competitors such as Oviedo folklore program cycle of indigenous music all weekend with a gala Santander Cantabria and Burgos folklore with two routes dramatized on historical figures.
In this situation, the Secretary of Culture of the Municipal Executive says that "understands the hoteliers of the city when they raise from their tips to boost cultural tourism offer broader because the drop in visitors this summer Murcia is attributable not only to the economic crisis. "
Cultural activities in the districts lacking
Finally, Martinez said that "if the cultural offerings of Murcia has been poor in the city center in the districts has been void because outside of the festivities that have taken have not had a minimum range of leisure, with centers Bernal as the Theatre of El Palmar and the auditoriums Cabezo de Torres, and La Alberca Beniaján without programming since June, demonstrating once again the parishes are neglected by the City.
