The council Municipal Socialist Party, Isabel Casalduero, began his appearance denouncing again, "the situation in which is a large part of our heritage. In this case, we refer to the churches of the Barrios Altos our city. We know that our city has been battered by nature, but we think it's time to show, in this case with images that attitude Popular Party government with respect to our heritage, can only be described as the regrettable ".
Casalduero considered very sad "let places and buildings that constitute our identity as a city deteriorate;. Being these invaluable from the point of view of equity are not talking about the rehabilitation of these buildings before us today, which assume that will be undertaken to be covered by the Master Plan for the recovery of Lorca Heritage funded by the EIB credit. We are talking about keeping that heritage in a minimally presentable state. "
The Socialist councilor said that "our city aims, and may be for its rich monumental, a leader in the field;. But we are told from the government team that wants to use the reconstruction as a tourist attraction should be emphasized that this is not compatible with the deplorable state in which is what we already have. "
"We speak today of the churches of San Juan, Santa Maria and San Pedro, and also the outskirts of the square of Spain and the collegiate church of San Patricio. Also the cobbled street leading up to the old file and the old jail. All the historical district, in general, is dirty, dark and lifeless. broken lamps, cobblestones abandoned ... the opposite of what is desirable in the aspect of a city that has much to offer and that the Popular Party is denying " he explained.
Lorca The mayor has reported that "in photographs that show you can see clearly state that present these churches we are talking about: graffiti, garbage, weed eating buildings ... all in an area that should be visited and enjoyable both Lorca and visitors ".
"What can think of a visitor when see, firsthand, the places you are talking about? What concept can be?" He asked.
Social responsibility has remarked that "in snapshots can see also how are certain areas of these churches and the slopes of the castle;. That have become real dumps And that, for example, is the image guests Parador takes the view from the area. "
Isabel Casalduero finished demanding, once again, the government team to "put minimal interest in maintaining our heritage, whether the ruins, in excellent condition for it to be visited. They keep on conditions there, both for not to continue deteriorating how to offer the image we want to give our guests. What good is investing billions of euros if we do not keep in conditions we have? ".
