| The group that claims that an archaeological excavation be carried out in an extension of the entire historic hill recalls that where the site has been studied, impressive and unique remains have been found | The Coordinator for the Defense of the Cerro del Molinete and its surroundings has denounced that the municipal government of Cartagena has rejected the allegations presented by 14 groups against the sale of plots on the hillside of the Molinete known as Morer a, despite the fact that it has been excavated only 15% of this historic hill, and where it has been studied it has given spectacular results. These groups asked that the City Council not continue with the sale and carry out an archaeological excavation throughout the entire historic hill, for which they could take advantage of the call for European funds that pursue change of a construction model for sustainable development such as the commitment to culture. From the Coordinator they denounce that "the mayor, the PP and Cs continue with their desire to destroy our heritage, despite the fact that we have shown that the reports of the municipal archaeologists included in the specifications of sale show that in the Morer a has excavated less than half of the plots put up for sale and not an inch of the streets and squares under which they want to put the electricity, water, gas, sewerage, telecommunications pipes, destroying the remains Panics and Romans ". Lack of spending authorization The Coordinadora del Molinete also denounced inconsistencies in its allegations such as that "the specifications oblige the City Council to urbanize future streets and squares, but nevertheless there is no authorization from municipal technicians to carry out this expense" .

"It is incomprehensible that at a time when the entire Molinete may be about to be declared an Asset of Cultural Interest with the category of archaeological zone and there may be financing to put the whole set in tourist value , the city council continues determined to benefit a few instead of betting on the true recovery of the Old Town ", they add from the group. function { ;(, , {});}
