During a forum organized by Forum More Europe and Casa Mediterráneo, with support from the University, a senior minister in Alicante spoke about the delicate issue of a proposed transfer. The minister stressed that the move is not a simple political choice and emphasized the importance of careful consideration alongside technical assessments. He also noted the ongoing discussions and the desire to showcase an exhibition in the location under review, while acknowledging the necessity of the existing report.
In his remarks, the minister underscored a broader intention to balance cultural goals with practical safeguards. He expressed a wish to champion a venue that can host a meaningful exhibition but said he cannot bypass the formal evaluation that informs the decision. The forum provided a platform for voices from different sectors to weigh in on the project, including contributions from regional cultural figures and academics who support a measured approach to the transfer, pending the technical findings.
As the event progressed, the minister greeted the mayor of Elche, Carlos González, and offered a candid assessment of the situation. He cautioned against setting expectations too high and stressed the importance of grounded planning. His words reflected a commitment to transparency and a desire to avoid giving the public any false hope while the study and consultations continue.
Speaking before Mayor González, the minister reiterated the need for prudence. He explained that a working group was established to monitor the situation and to determine whether the transfer could be pursued safely at any point if the technicians confirm it is viable. He stressed that the group will act only when there is clear, proven certainty about safety and logistical feasibility, ensuring that all relevant experts are satisfied with the conditions of the move. The tone remained measured, focusing on safeguarding cultural assets and maintaining public trust in the process. (Source: Forum INFORMACIÓN)
