The Huesca City Council plenary session this Thursday approved, in principle and expeditiously, the regulations for the use of municipal cultural centers with a vote in favor of PP and Vox and a rejection of the PSOE, which considers the processing to be “hasty.” Socialists realize that in this system, which implies that there are no political or religious associations in these places, The Raíces Center, where the Republican constituency has been located since 2019, should not be included.
PSOE asserts that the only explanation for this urgency is “the government team’s need to access requests from the Vox group, whose support may be fundamental in future issues, laying the foundations for a future government agreement.”
This regulation will define the rights and obligations of users of municipal cultural centers and the conditions under which they will be able to use their facilities and services. After initial approval, it will be open to the public to submit applications for 30 days. PP defended the urgency of the treatment that Theater workshops management bids City Council, attended by 200 people, This list should exist.
Culture advisor, Teruca Moreno, has pointed this out in regulatory decree From the fee for the use of spaces located in cultural centers that depend on this municipal area (amended in October 2022 and effective since January 2023) There is a Raices Center, Next to the CC del Matadero, the CC Santiago Escartín Otín, the Casa de la Música (former court) and one on Calle Calatayud, where the Espacio de Arte Joven is located, is where theater workshops take place.
“If the urgency was to regulate Espacio Arte Joven, we would understand that its regulations were addressed as a matter of urgency and we would not take advantage of the new regulation to include Centro Raíces in its purpose, which is not urgent,” insisted the group’s spokesperson. Salazar reiterated that the processing of this regulation was “expedited” because it did not pass through the Culture Committee, where Changes to the text should have been discussed, Among them, the inclusion or not of the Raíces Center.
The PSOE spokesman indicated that the aforementioned center “has no use as a cultural center” and that the conditions for transfer to the Republican constituency of Huesca “They do not prevent any other association from occupying its spaces.”
For his part, Tiruca Moreno stressed that for the first time the regulations for the use of cultural centers were discussed in the Committee for Culture in June 2021. “And just over a year ago, The People’s Party requested the inclusion of the Rice Center As a cultural space because it has always spread its management of the culture area.
As he said, the regulation submitted Thursday “has been kept in the Secretariat for more than a year.” The popular advisor added that it has five places because Centro Raíces joined after being decided by a majority in the Committee on Culture on June 8, 2022. “The text was drafted by the Socialist Workers Party, which went to public information for 20 days, but that did not reach plenary,” Moreno settled.
The Centro Rice Hotel was, as the socialist speaker mentioned, as well Headquarters of various entities On behalf of the Association of Dancers of Huesca. In 2016 it was the seat of the French Institute and in 2019 it was ceded to the Republican department. “This is a non-profit entity that carry out cultural and social activities and that it is registered in the Register of Cultural Associations of Aragon “, Salazar affirmed, in addition, stressing that it has a library that “serves as a tool for study and research” for the citizens of Huesca and “one of its objectives is to ensure compliance with the law of democratic memory”.
