and of a generational relay.Marín affirms that the creation of a professional embroidery qualification will also allow "the current workers, who have been carrying out their work without adequate recognition, to see their competence accredited with an official qualification."In fact, in August 2018, the art of Lorca embroidery in silks and gold was recognized by the State Public Employment Service as a Training Specialty within the family of Arts and Crafts, which in practice means its consolidation as a completely professional trade and at the same time opens the doors to the implementation of a range of resources that will allow its strengthening and survival in the future.The matter is pending from the Council of Ministers, as reported by the Ministry of Culture of the Region of Murcia, for which Senator Marín has asked the Senate about the current situation of the definitive implementation of studies on the lorquino embroidery art in silks and gold, as well as their start date.
