Madrid Nacho Cano wants to build a theater on a site where José Luis Moreno planned to build the Coliseum of the Three Cultures
The parties of the left have attacked the president of the Community of Madrid, Isabel Díaz Ayuso, for the temporary transfer of public land to the artist
Nacho Cano
so that he can build a theater. Although the land in question is owned by the City Council of the capital and not by the regional government,
Más Madrid
and
PSOE
interpret that in the operation - advanced by EL MUNDO - there has been "favorable treatment" by the popular leader, who this summer He has visited a former member of Mecano in his home on the island of Ibiza.
The spigot of the controversy is located on a 19,000 square meter plot located in the
district of Hortaleza
and has been in disuse for three decades. Now the company
Malinche The Musical Spain
- of which the composer and record producer is the sole administrator - is going to receive authorization to set up a stage for shows and exploit it commercially for a maximum of four years in exchange for paying an annual fee of 450,000 euros. for rent.
More Madrid has registered a battery of questions addressed to the Ayuso government about this award, censuring that when "a public space is given to a friend for
a favorable treatment
, it turns the whole society into a private club of nepotism and chalaneo." "It is not only an insult to the cultural fabric, but it shows once again that the PP understands the public as a feudal private preserve," says Mónica García, spokeswoman for the main opposition group in the Vallecas Assembly, reports Europa Press .
Along the same lines, the PSOE in the Madrid City Council criticizes the allocation
of
a plot
"
by finger
" to "carry out a private business" through a mechanism that "favors the affairs of friends or relatives."
In addition, they emphasize that this already happened in 2002 when the same plot was awarded to the producer of the ventriloquist José Luis Moreno for the construction of the Coliseum of the Three Cultures, although in 2010 it had to be reversed due to breach of the contract.
"Fantastic" initiative
In the Ayuso government it has been its Minister of Culture,
Marta Rivera de la Cruz
, who has come out in defense of an initiative that she considers "fantastic" for the region because it will give "a lot of work" to professionals in a sector "hard hit "Due to the coronavirus crisis and has urged the opposition to" loosen up "criticism. "I think it is the only place in the world where when a man raises a project someone sees the problem," he laments.
For its part, the Madrid City Council argues that the authorization of the use of a land for a certain period "is a common practice of administrations to give temporary uses" to plots "without a planned use in the short term," reports Efe. In the municipal coalition formed by
PP
and
Ciudadanos
- which is the one who has urban planning powers - they give as an example other similar licenses previously granted such as those of the Circo del Sol and MadCool.
Four months ago Ayuso decorated Cano with the
Grand Cross of the Order of Dos de Mayo
in recognition of his professional career.
The artist then removed the red band and put it on the Madrid leader for having been "brave and a good president" for having kept cultural spaces open during the pandemic.
