Coordinating Secretary PSRM-PSOE and regional deputy, Francisco Javier Oñate, demanded that the regional government in the preamble to the BIC file open for the site of San Esteban include a recognition of the civic platform has made possible the salvation of the site .
It also calls for the application citing that the Socialist parliamentary group made in the Regional Assembly for initiating the BIC file, and requests made by the Municipal Socialist Group in the city of Murcia.
"Ultimately, who were already demanding the conservation of the site long before Valcárcel convene the Committee of Experts."
"One should not forget history, and can not exist in a file amnesia BIC with those who have demanded a respect for Murcia and its institutions," he said.
Socialist MP believes that "if it does, the regional government in their attempt to want to lead the maintenance of the archaeological remains of St. Stephen, once again demonstrates its contempt for the citizens and the opposition Socialist Party, and would be a shows that go behind the events. "
These statements were made after learning that the Official Gazette of the Region of Murcia (BORM) published yesterday the beginning of the file declaration of Cultural Interest (BIC) which justifies this decision was taken "by the request of the Commission Experts meeting at the request of President Ramón Luis Valcárcel a few days ago. "
According to Francisco Javier Onate, "the regional government has again forgotten that since the advent of the challenges of San Esteban, thousands of citizens requested with your signature and deposit mobilization protection, and the initiative in the sense that Socialist Party presented at the Regional Assembly for instituting a record of BIC and the repeated requests for protection of the Municipal Socialist Group in the city of Murcia. "
This, as far as necessary for the preservation and enhancement of the site.
There was never willing to preserve
The data published in the BORM "only show that the Popular Party, both by the City of Murcia and the Ministry of Culture, never had real desire to preserve the remains, for if it was true that no citizen action and disorderly judicial decision was taken to freeze the parking lot of St. Stephen, could not understand that at the same time, it had opened an office record, as provided for Regional Heritage Act. "
"We must remember that the Committee of Experts met as a result of public pressure, and therefore, despite the despicable attitude of the regional government, the socialists are happy that we eventually start opening the file.
And we will ensure, no doubt, that the archaeological remains are put into value for the enjoyment of all Murcia and Murcia, "he concluded.
