Bank of Spain

Although the agreement last February transfer of funds from the file to the Reina Sofia was sold as a step “final “and” historic “, the truth is that this step marked the beginning of a negotiation between administrations.

for this project, championed by the City Council, would be located in a building, the Bank of Spain, which was owned by the state, who ceded it to the Government of Cantabria (who will have competencies in cultural matters).

from there, spoke of the need to define the needs of the building itself, designed (no longer a bank) for restricted use, rather than a more popular use as pursuing this project

These requirements lead to a negotiation that starts on the wrong foot. reveals today the daily Elespañol, Culture (the Ministry of Culture, whose front is the santanderino Jose Maria Lassalle) has already quantified the cost of these reforms.

There are ten million, the payment of which derives the Government of Cantabria, who immediately recalled that is an aspect that is subject to the “negotiation”.

the unsuitability of the premises was precisely the reason to be brandished to change the intended use initially for the Bank of Spain, hosting the Museum of Prehistory and Archaeology of Cantabria (MUPAC), now located at the underside of the Market for Eastern and for which there are interested different Cantabrian municipalities.

NEEDS FILE

of the more than 2,600 square meters useful area, open to the public space will occupy 650 square meters, while much of the space will focus on the restoration and cleaning of funds on paper.

to these problems is added to the value of the file ( loan at a price to be determined, but still owned by the employer) is not taxed. And are funds that at any time may be used for the seat of the Reina Sofia in Santander.

CANTABRIA REQUESTS NEGOTIATION

It’s information that the Government of Cantabria has described as “working hypothesis “that has not been consulted them.

Ramon Ruiz, Minister of Culture, has stressed the need to” reach agreement “between the Government of Cantabria and” Lafuente Reina Sofia “on the full use of building.

in terms of project funding, Ruiz recalled that at the meeting last February and the need for the central government “commit” the execution was raised.

“If you have not discussed the museum program, one can not talk about rehabilitation project, and will be at the next meeting in may when the joint working group of the two administrations is started,” he insisted.
