Socialists accuse the PP government team repeatedly lying about the conservation status of the sculpture, and demand the resignation of Councillor for Culture, Julio Garcia, to hide their status and their carelessness when attempting restoration.
The PSOE La Union comment that "although it was well known that the valuable sculpture was abandoned to their fate by the government team, which never can expect is to present such a degree of destruction, which shows a lack of respect and sensitivity on the part of the government team to the municipal cultural heritage. "
Socialists point out that "sculpture" La Taranta, Minera, the Cartagenera "work of artist Dora Catarineu, was located in the Plaza Salvador Dalí, and was donated to the town in 2000 during the previous socialist mandate, as a tribute The 40 year history of the Festival del Cante de Las Minas, and with it the author paid tribute to the mining songs. "
The PSOE La Union indicate that "This sculpture was part of municipal assets, and from the Municipal Socialist Group we had since 2009 demanding the government team of PP restoration and proceed to replace it in its original location, having even applied for inclusion in the catalog of cultural property of the municipality. "
The socialist state that "The state of the sculpture shows again that the PP government team and Councillor for Culture, Julio Garcia, are more focused on travel and photo rigor that meet our artistic and cultural heritage, as it is inexplicable what happened with this work. Moreover, is a deception and a lack of regard for the artist who altruistically donated the sculpture to the town, and which was promised by the government team restoring more than four years. "
The PSOE La Union require 'Team PP government explanations about the destruction of the sculpture and identify responsibilities relevant as the pictures show that it is not a simple act of vandalism, but an absolute lack of laziness and lack interest in protecting the local heritage. "
