IU + Councillor for the Greens in the city of Murcia, Esther Herguedas, said today that the Romea Theatre rehabilitation "is becoming a real soap opera that is not expected to go on forever," since the 2007 are being partial reforms "in what seems an exercise in improvisation

He recalled that in July 2007, made public the exterior renovation and noted that the work would end in January 2008, after a full season 2007-08, with the theater closed, it said that you also have to change the comb scenario being awarded the work in December 2008 with a deadline of four months.

"The last chapter has been written on the Board of Governors on 1 April with the approval of a new specification for pending reforms announced months ago that would run at the same time as the comb works, and is used to say that the theater will open next season, though in practice, and given the need to meet legal deadlines for public contracts and they usually have delays in the works, will be with a little luck at the end of next season (May-June 2010) if not returned to complete the season with the theater closed. "

He added that given the lack of theaters in the city of Murcia, absolutely endemic in the urban area, "the seventh largest city in Spain in population can not afford to do without for so long for this space, much as its programming in recent times could be described as provincial.

This approach has been extended in a completely unnecessary reform process, if undertaken with a minimum of rationality, would have ended long ago.

While improvisation can be a very unfortunate reason for action, not be ruled out that other elements have been shuffled and the budget savings in the program during these three seasons.

It is clear that anyone convinced by the argument that programming Romea has moved to other venues like the Teatro Bernal plays, as indeed has been deleted.

Yes, looks like.

Lorenzo Píriz-Carbonell, director of the Romea, has continued to receive their salary even though you had nothing to program.

United Left group + The Greens would like to know what has worked during this time and what were the roles they've been assigned from the Department of Culture.
