García Jiménez recalls that 2018 marks the 100th anniversary of the foundation of one of the most significant buildings on Corredera Street and of Lorca's heritage, due to its history and uniqueness.
The Socialists ask that activities be programmed during the year to publicize and highlight their history, and regret that the Popular Party keeps "paralyzed" the rehabilitation of this building and the lack of definition regarding its future public use.
