Culture rejected the statement as a Cultural Interest (BIC) to the whole estate which includes the building of the ESAD
Given the persistent rumors in recent days, NOW MURCIA confirms that it has been aware of the existence of negotiations between the UCAM (Catholic University San Antonio of Murcia), the Autonomous Region of Murcia and the city of Murcia to treat the possible sale of public building old Seminary of San Fulgencio, where today the School of Dramatic Arts (ESAD) is located and the Conservatory of Dance, located in the square of the Apostles, near the Cathedral of Murcia.
UCAM might be interested in installing this ancient and emblematic public building its Law School and rectory, where the president would lead the institution.
Although the PP hide behind that pricing was only by way of inventory, unprecedented in the sale of land and public buildings by the party to the UCAM and other interests, they make us fear the worst in the case the ESAD.
Apparently, the negotiations were stalling not agree to the parties to the sale price of the historic building.
The price offered was three million, something far below the real value of the building, being intended to be used as an intermediary Diocese of Cartagena, it would be who would sign the sale and later give the building to the UCAM.
You remember that the Bishop would be used as an intermediary with the excuse that it is the former owner of the building, which later became heritage of all Murcia, who paid for the restoration and reconstruction of public funds.
In this situation, it was requested by an association statement BIC of the assembly formed by the Episcopal Palace and Ecclesiastical Jail, the old Seminary of San Fulgencio and the former College of Theologians of San Isidoro (now Institute Cascales), but this entity received in response to the Autonomous Region denial.
The decision of the Directorate General of Cultural Assets acknowledged that it was "a building of undoubted both architectural and historical values" and "constitutes a key element in environmental entire eighteenth century Murcia" but nevertheless Culture BIC refused protection, which would in practice the impossibility of structural reform would entail the transformation to new uses after its intended sale.
This denial deepens founded suspicions that exist on that property transaction.
For NOW MURCIA, after the sale of the good of all Murcia and Murcia, apart from the loss to public property, damage would be caused to all students consumed, amounting to hundreds of young students, who would have to change their habits Study and transportation, besides having to be relocated to other facilities.
NOW MURCIA begin direct action to prevent such practices plundering of public assets.
