The National Institute of the Performing Arts and Music (Inaem) has decided to impose two sanctions on the outgoing artistic director of the National Dance Company (CND), José Carlos Martínez, for improper use of choreography and costumes during his participation "a private title "in a gala held in Japan, although it is waiting to hear the allegations of the dancer so that this resolution is firm.

Specifically, as Europa Press has learned, pending the closing of the disciplinary proceedings, a sanction is of a mild nature, consisting of a warning after "proving" that at the 30th anniversary gala of the Sapporo Art Park Ballet Seminar in Japan They used two Nutcracker ballet costumes owned by INAEM "without proper authorization . "

On the other hand, it proposes a serious offense for having included in the repertoire that two choreographies were represented ( Ballet Don Quijote and Nutcracker ), whose ownership corresponds exclusively to this agency under the Ministry of Culture "without the proper authorization being requested from the organism".

The minimum penalty in the event of a serious offense involves suspension of employment and salary from a minimum of three days to a maximum of three months, and the maximum penalty would entail a penalty for the purpose of career, promotion and voluntary mobility.

In any case, a spokesman for the Ministry of Culture and Sports has recalled that it is a "guarantee" process and Martinez has been granted a period of ten business days to present claims. "So far it has not been possible to verify the reception by the interested party of the notification and, therefore, the disciplinary file in this case is still open, " said the same spokesman.

On this tour , another ten dancers from the company were also pending a sanction file . In the processing of the files it was found that five of them had requested compatibility authorizations and had been granted in a timely manner, so the file of those same files was agreed.

On the contrary, in the case of the other five, as they had requested the authorization of compatibility for the exercise of private activities after attending the aforementioned gala, they have been imposed a light penalty consisting of a written warning.
