United Left Greens + (IU + LV) in the city of Murcia has filed a motion in Parliament tomorrow to launch a public debate to explore the best way to preserve the archaeological remains found in the garden of San Esteban.

UI + Councillor LV, Esther Herguedas, stated at a press conference that this debate should involve the public as well as institutions, associations and groups to express their interest in submitting proposals.

Herguedas noted that the initiative also includes an agreement that, if accepted, the city of Murcia undertakes to adjust the decision on the fate of the archaeological site of the outcome of this process of participation.

He assured that the technical report of the Ministry of Culture Angel Iniesta on the future location of the remains "seems to have intended to force the justification that allows the construction of underground parking in the area."

"This report contains contradictions, while grants to all national importance because of the possibility of having an overview of a large space, proposed to destroy more than 60 percent and keep only a few isolated elements."

The mayor also criticized the document does not give details on the technical feasibility of clearing the wreckage, "leaving this matter to a later report," while it has secured the construction of parking is incompatible with the preservation of finding .

Has expressed concern that the architect Pablo Puente involved in the project "and that his career might be expected that the aim is to build a theme park where the remains are not only out of context, but also serve to generate a new business in private hands. "

To Herguedas, "the final political decision rests with the Mayor" and "there are only two options, and are not reconcilable, or is built park and the remains, ie serving or speculative interests of the group The General or property interests. "

"The voices of citizens can not be either silenced or ignored, and the PP can not look away, reducing the debate to a partisan struggle. We play a lot, including the possibility of rethinking a new cultural code-Murcia us reconcile with past mistakes, "he concluded.
