Note sent by the Platform for Mobility:
In addition, it can be considered an aggravating cynicism plantificar this magnificent exhibition a few inches from the Arab street "suburb of the Arrixaca" Alfonso X that describes itself in its documents, while the shadow of "The General" hanging over his remains.
The Platform for Mobility "against the Garden Parking in San Esteban y Libertad criticism, to be celebrated with great fanfare the launch of a magnificent exhibition of Alfonso X the Wise (1), and remember to" Murcia " he was found and described in his writings, while a few meters are No the archaeological remains being discovered in the basement of St. Stephen's garden and that correspond to the Arab neighborhood of the suburb of Arrixaca that Alfonso himself X described in his writings.

This platform considers a mockery and a joke to Murcia, in addition to the encroachment of the memory of this city, which a few meters from where they are unearthing the archaeological remains of the Arab quarter "of the Arrixaca Arrabal" (and which still says that only the "foundations of nineteenth-century insane asylum" - Nuria Fuentes, The Truth and Opinion, 15 Oct 2009), this week opened an exhibition on "Murcia Alfonso X".
It's funny how the "public interest" outweighs the interest of public space and on the actual historical memory of our people.
This platform is shown astonished at the continuing abuses of Murcia and regional administrations not only insist on not recognizing what kind of remains are being uncovered in the basement of the Garden of St. Stephen, but it can expose some of the history of the city Murcia a few meters from them, but without naming them.
The platform emphasizes that in the Garden of St. Stephen not to build any car park, on the basis of historical and cultural heritage, urban mobility reasons, for reasons of public health and quality of life, for environmental reasons, and which involves the transfer of a public space for purely private gain, with the loss of a garden that will be transformed into a solar pavement with ludicrous and bonsai pots.
(1) By the way, this magnificent exhibition features items brought from outside the Region of Murcia, but curiously took place without the contribution of the important materials alfonsinos which has the city of Murcia at the Museum Almudí.
(2) In different texts, the King Alfonso X refers to the Arab neighborhood "of the Arrixaca Arrabal.
These include grants for construction of houses, palaces and to build the salt market.
All these indications are supported by some of the numerous research works conducted by the prestigious D. Professor of Medieval History
Juan Torres Fontes.
