The regional head of Culture IU, Manuela Seville, accused the director of the Department, Pedro Alberto Cruz, of being "an inquisitor with avant-garde outfit" by the veto to the performance of Italian comedian Leo Bassi festival under the Alter- Art.
Sevilla made the remarks at a press conference with Councilwoman IU + Greens municipality of Murcia, Herguedas Esther, who noted that Cruz "can not go to modern and then quell complaints about corruption and land speculation in the Region .
Both criticized the statements of Minister of Culture, in which he stated that the next Alter-Arte festival will be "the best of all, to what Herguedas responded that" this is impossible because it has passed through the filter of censorship. "
Referring to the closure of the Romea Theatre for two seasons, Sevilla said that this is due to "poor planning" by the Councillor for Culture of the capital, Fátima Barnuevo, who also "has not bothered to seek alternatives to more than 420,000 inhabitants registered in that municipality. "
"You can be the only theater in the town of Murcia closed," said the mayor of IU + Greens after adding that "since the PP is in command has disappeared from street theater" in the town.
In this sense, Seville and said they Herguedas Romea programming in the last ten years, when it ceased to belong to the network of theaters, has been characterized by "the lack of artistic and aesthetic quality, as well as" the little relevance of the plays that are represented. "
