| It is the worst in the entire Region, according to the PP complaint | After saving hundreds of thousands of euros to cancel the Fair, Night of the Museums, Easter, Fair of the Virgen de las Huertas, theater programming, courses of the popular university, courses for the elderly, action program with groups of women, closure of municipal swimming pools ...
have the "courage" to present an improvised fiasco.The Councilor for Culture in the City of Lorca for the Popular Party, Francisco Javier Martínez, has described as "deeply disappointing" the cultural program for this summer presented by the mayor of the PSOE.
What they have done is show that they did not have anything prepared, that they live off improvisation and act "leapfrog."The people of Lorca have been waiting for weeks for Mr.
Mateos to report on the supposed "cultural phenomenon" that he was preparing to energize the city.
He has been saving money for months, to the point that today the city council has more money than ever thanks to the PP's management, as the current councilor for the Treasury has already recognized.
Some expectation had been generated among the people, and they have the "courage" to appear with "this"."Lean in", they have called him, yes, lean out and run away because what a "disappointment".
This is nothing more than an amalgam of acts that have been repeated every year, as is the case of the summer cinema and the ordinary sports program, adorned with the usual concerts in squares and streets.
At least we are pleased that the municipal music band has been counted on to try to "save face", and with some of our magnificent local groups, but without offering them a real opportunity to show off.
In any case, and as the president of the Union of Event Promoters of the Region of Murcia (UEPEMUR) has pointed out, "the cultural programming for a city like Lorca is insufficient."There is a lack of a more attractive offer that attracts visitors from other parts of the region.This does not strain.
It completely lacks serious direction, a true failure, which is evident when compared to the offer presented by nearby municipalities and many smaller than ours.
This "fiasco" relegates us to the last position in the cultural panorama of the entire region of Murcia.
And it represents another missed opportunity to reactivate Lorca.After saving the money from the Fair, Easter, the Virgen de las Huertas Fair, theater programming, popular university courses, courses for the elderly, action program with women's groups, closure of municipal swimming pools, night of the museums ...
they have the "courage" to present this "cultural phenomenon".
Without supply there is no demand.
Without investment there will never be social benefits.How quickly the current mayor of the Barrio de San Cristóbal has forgotten! Not a single action to energize his neighbors, nor a sad performance, following the abandonment to which he has been subjected.
We demand that the summer cinema be held also in the Plaza de Tanners.
We have not forgotten the neighborhood, like Mr.
Mateos, we keep it very much in mind and that is why we demand that this action be carried out, just as it now wants to do in San José.He also did not want to take into consideration our proposal to start a drive-in cinema, which they are enjoying in many Spanish municipalities, fully adapted to the conditions of COVID-19.
We were especially surprised because we had heard that they had it "in the oven".
Apparently they must have been burned.And with respect to the criticisms made by Mr Mateos against the new fair model proposed by the PP, his statements are so consistent that he says that "it is irresponsible to ask that these things be done", when at the same press conference he is presenting a activities program no longer for three months, but for the next week that we are still in de-escalation phases.They say that the standard of living of a city is measured according to its cultural level, and it is evident that in Lorca the culture is not being decidedly decided.
