The "Murcia medieval" in the garden of San Esteban, visible and without artificial recreations (04/09/2009)

In a press release reported:

The Platform for Mobility Parking Against San Esteban and Avenida de La Libertad "calls for greater transparency with the archaeological remains being found in archaeological excavations in the Garden of San Esteban, and explaining to the general public history there is digging.

In addition, they criticize the hypocrisy of a mayor's mouth is full of great intentions and supposed achievements in press conferences, but in real life contradicotrias perform actions such as promoting a parking lot in a BIC, enable and encourage the destruction of cultural and historical heritage of the Huerta de Murcia, or demolish historic buildings, but are documented, as is the recent case of Ponce Mansion, which is not an isolated case.

The Platform for Mobility Parking Against San Esteban and Avenida de La Libertad ", has always defended the inconvenience of parking in the heart of Murcia for obvious and indisputable reasons for sustainable mobility (shared with experts in sustainability everyone), because of increased air pollution and noise (which cause 16,000 premature deaths a year in Spain), and loss of quality public spaces in private business after a few.

Another important and legitimate argument to seek the cessation of the construction project of a parking lot in the Garden of San Esteban, is the presence of important medieval archaeological remains beneath the surface, as mentioned in historical documents, and today you can see with the naked eye from the fence that protects the archaeological excavations in that area (not "works of parking" as the City Council wants the public to believe.)

Interestingly, many of these arguments have been used by the mayor and the Chamber to oppose Mr Valcárcel that project and the other car, the difference being that they were in the chair of the opposition, and the beneficiaries were different.

However, this platform is not surprising in many campaigns that Mayor House announced in press conferences, and with great paraphernalia.

A few days ago we were surprised with the announcement of the candidature of the City of Murcia to choose nothing less than "CULTURAL CAPITAL OF EUROPE."

A great display of hypocrisy by the Mayor, and a big surprise for this platform, as in the past 10 years, if anything has characterized this municipality is the amount of historical and cultural patrimony that has disappeared under concrete and brick , by act or omission of the City Council of Murcia.

The latest case came just days before the announcement, when it was demolished Ponce cataloged and protected Mansion, a landmark building in the capital, which had for years been calling for its restoration and conservation.

Although this is only the latest in a long list.

In another display of hypocrisy, Mr. House inaugurates a photographic exhibition on Medieval Murcia, organized by the Federation of Moros y Cristianos, within a shopping center located a few meters from a major archaeological site in BIC environment (either Cultural Interest), which can be seen in situ the reality of the medieval city of Murcia, without models or artificial recreations, and yet is no e-appreciated by their discomfort, when confronted with the "mighty lord" Don money.

Today this platform is wondering where is the promised website that would explain all the details Murcia on the remains that are found in archaeological excavations of San Esteban.

We take this opportunity to again ask the Mayor, D.

Miguel Angel House, which finally leaves the parking scheme and put in value the medieval archaeological remains found in the basement of the Garden of San Esteban, making a garden theme, which may be a cultural landmark attraction for other types of tourism.

MOBILITY PLATFORM FOR AND AGAINST THE PARKING IN THE GARDEN OF SAN ESTEBAN AND AVDA.
