The mayor Paqui Pérez regrets that Murcia is in the tail car of cities in terms of cultural offer, down five places in a single year, from 15 to 20

The Councilor for Citizens Paqui Perez has called "unfortunate and disturbing" the data reflected in the report of the Observatory of Culture, dependent on the Contemporary Foundation, which refer to cultural activity in Spain during the year 2017.

"It is sad that Murcia is in the wagon of Spanish cities in terms of cultural offer, down five places in a single year, from 15 to 20", lamented the mayor of the orange formation, who has made an appeal to the councilman of Culture, Jesus Pacheco, "so that he puts the batteries and reacts to these results so worrying" ..

In this sense, Pérez has reminded Pacheco once again that "Murcia has a huge potential that must be taken advantage of;

and that, based on these data, it is more necessary than ever to give a twist to the cultural management of the municipality with brave and successful bets ".

Thus, the orange mayor has mentioned some of the proposals that, "from Citizens have been sent to Councilman Pacheco on more than one occasion, the last time during the Debate of the State of the municipality, in which we highlight the need to create a brand unique that agglutinate the museums and municipal interpretation centers ".

"With regard to the first," said Pérez, "it is essential that they form part of the regional system of museums that entails some benefits, such as the granting of economic aid for research activities or the preferential incorporation of touring exhibition circuits. , among others".

Likewise, the mayor of Cs has insisted "on the importance of promoting and consolidating existing music and film festivals, which do not appear in the mentioned report".

And he cites as examples the Murcia Tres Culturas Festival, which this year celebrates its 18th edition;

the International Folklore Festival, one of the most important of the Mediterranean arch that in 2018 commemorates its 50th anniversary;

or the International Film Festival of the city of Murcia (IBAFF).

"We trust that the mayor Pacheco will start working and revert these results in Murcia so that our municipality occupies a predominant place within the network of cities that is committed to culture as an engine of knowledge, economic and socio-cultural wealth and tourism development", it is finished.
