The atrium and the entire monumental complex that houses the Patron Saint of Lorca must shine in all its splendor to welcome neighbors and visitors at the beginning of the 17th Jubilee Year in honor of the Virgen de las Huertas on the occasion of the 75th anniversary of her canonical coronation, reason why "it is not understood that the Cross, declared BIC, is not already properly restored".

They also demand the cleaning of graffiti, improve gardening in the surroundings of the Sanctuary and install information panels.

The councilor of the PSOE in the City of Lorca, David Romera, has called on the PP government team "to proceed immediately to the restoration and enhancement" of the Cross of the Humilladero located in the center of the atrium of the Patronal Shrine, built in 1713 and classified as an Asset of Cultural Interest along with the rest of the monumental complex, in view of the celebration of the Jubilee Year, which will begin next March 17, in honor of the Patron Saint of Lorca, Santa María la Real de las Huertas, on the occasion of the 75th anniversary of his canonical coronation.

Romera has indicated that "in the absence of just ten days for the start of the Jubilee Year in honor of the Virgen de las Huertas, it is not acceptable that the Cross of the Humilladero located in the atrium of the Sanctuary remains unrestored and valued. despite having been broken since September, apparently, there has not been enough time in six months to be restored. "

The socialist mayor criticized that "time is falling on top", so that, in the end, "the usual will happen: the rush will come and action will be done badly", especially when it comes to the Cultural Heritage of Lorca, where each The action has to be perfectly executed and with the relevant technical advice.

From the PSOE blames this situation again "to the lack of planning and management" by the PP Government team, and the "no interest" for the tourist promotion of the city, because Lorca "must take advantage of this religious event of great importance around our Employer, to offer its best image, promote the city and be a tourist reference, which will benefit both the hospitality and hospitality industry, as well as the commercial sector ", so it is not understood" this lack of involvement and diligence ".

In fact, he pointed out, the Christmas garland that existed in the main door of the Sanctuary, has remained there installed and in operation until yesterday that was dismantled, "fruit of oblivion and disinterest."

In addition to claiming the restoration and enhancement of the Cross of the Shrine of the Atrium of the Patronal Sanctuary, Romera has asked the PP to clean the graffiti and graffiti around the main access door of the church of the Shrine, improve gardening of the environment to look with the greatest splendor and install interpretive panels of the monumental complex and our Patron for information of tourists and visitors.
