Hundreds of Murcia are manifested in the Glorieta to express their rejection of the proposal to remove the Christ of Monteagudo and require conservation and protection (13/02/2010)

The Platform in Defense of the Christ has read a manifesto

Several hundreds of Murcia, among whom was the Mayor of Murcia, Miguel Ángel Cámara, the Minister of Culture and Tourism, Pedro Alberto Cruz, Regional Representatives and Councillors of the Municipality of Murcia, have come to the Square tonight to reject the proposal for a set of lawyers to remove the image of the Sacred Heart of Jesus Monteagudo.

Likewise, citizens have demanded the preservation and protection of this image, a hallmark of Murcia.

The Platform in Defense of the Christ of Monteagudo, formed by 400 municipal associations, read the following statement in defense of Christ

ALL MURCIANO

The monument to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, popularly known as Christ-Monteagudo Monteagudo completes the hamlet since the year 1926, with the only brackets that arose during the Civil War, when the sculpture was dynamited and replaced by the actual work of Nicholas sculptor Ramon Martinez and opened in 1951.

For several generations of Murcia, the image of Christ has become a fixture in the garden of Murcia, overcoming any ideological argument, political or religious, to make the most of Murcia and identify those who visit the city with sculpture .

Before the decision of a group of lawyers to demand the withdrawal of Christ, claiming it is a symbol of former regimes, we can not remain indifferent and we firmly demand respect for this symbol

Murcia society has already ruled in recent days about it, with innumerable examples of rejection of the removal of the sculpture, which had joined other initiatives such as the one headed by the Mayor of the City, Miguel Ángel Cámara, who has filed for Cultural Property for sculpture.

Therefore, the persistence in the intention of a small and unrepresentative group of Murcia, we CALL TO Murcian society to express their rejection of the attempt to forcefully take away the image of Christ Monteguado and propose to the competent authorities establish the guarantees necessary to protect and preserve ONE OF THE SYMBOLS OF THE HUERTA DE MURCIA.
