The People&#8217;s Party has attributed this to the &#8220;lack of interest or irresponsible negligence&#8221; of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, while the government has stated that it has &#8220;made countless attempts&#8221; to secure the renewal of the contract, but has been met &#8220;at all times&#8221; with the &#8220;firm&#8221; refusal of the Archdiocese.<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>On October 1st, the Archdiocese of Cartagena de Indias informed the Spanish Government by letter of its intention to assume full management and administration of the Convent of Santo Domingo, the building that has housed the Spanish Cooperation Training Center (CFCE) since 1999 under a loan agreement (comodato), whereby one party grants another the temporary use of a property free of charge with the obligation to return it in the same condition.<\/p>\n<p>As a result, the Popular Parliamentary Group in Congress submitted a written parliamentary question to the Government on November 25th, reminding them that the convent is \u201cone of Spain\u2019s most emblematic buildings in the Americas\u201d and that both the restoration of the building and its maintenance \u201cduring these 30 years\u201d were financed \u201centirely\u201d by Spain.<\/p>\n<p>According to the People&#8217;s Party (PP), this decision by the Archdiocese means &#8220;the loss of the headquarters of one of the most active training centers of the Spanish Cooperation, through which thousands of civil servants and professionals from both sides of the Atlantic have passed.&#8221; &#8220;The remarkable contribution of the Cartagena Training Center to the consolidation of more efficient public administrations in Latin America was complemented by a high-quality cultural program,&#8221; to the point of being considered &#8220;an emblem of Spain&#8217;s presence in Colombia,&#8221; the PP continues.<\/p>\n<p>The PP also asserts that, since the Center&#8217;s creation, the collaboration with Colombian ecclesiastical institutions, and especially with the Archdiocese of Cartagena, &#8220;was exemplary,&#8221; and recalls, as an example, that the Cartagena de Indias Training Center &#8220;hosted activities of Pope Francis during his pastoral visit to Colombia in September 2017.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, they continue, \u201cit is perplexing that this collaboration has broken down and that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Spanish Embassy in Colombia have been unable to reach an agreement to renew the loan agreement, allowing Spain to continue using the building.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to the Popular Party, \u201cit is clear that the terms of the negotiation with the Archdiocese of Cartagena were not conducive to fostering a positive atmosphere between the parties\u201d and that \u201cthe Archdiocese of Cartagena was given peremptory deadlines for responses, and our Embassy\u2019s communications conveyed a tone of imposition with a hint of arrogance.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, the Popular Party asserts, \u201cthere is no record of any meeting having taken place\u201d between the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Jos\u00e9 Manuel Albares, and the Colombian ecclesiastical authorities, \u201cwhich demonstrates either a lack of interest on the part of the Minister or an irresponsible dereliction of duty.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For all these reasons, the People&#8217;s Party (PP) is asking the Government if it is &#8220;in a position to reach an agreement that would prevent the regrettable loss of the use of the cloister of the Convent of Santo Domingo&#8221; and if there has been any meeting between Albares &#8220;or, at least, the Secretary of State for Cooperation and the Archdiocese of Cartagena to seek the renewal of the usage agreement.&#8221; Finally, the PP is asking the Government to clarify if it has a plan to ensure the continuity of activities at the Cartagena de Indias center &#8220;and Spain&#8217;s presence in the Colombian Caribbean with such an emblematic building as the aforementioned cloister,&#8221; should an agreement not be reached.<\/p>\n<h5><strong>Government response<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>In its written response, issued on February 9 and published two weeks later in the Official Gazette of the Spanish Parliament (BOCGE), the Government states that the loan agreement between the Archdiocese of Cartagena and the Spanish Agency for International Development Cooperation (AECID) \u201cis coming to an end\u201d and that the Archdiocese of Cartagena has decided, for \u201cpastoral and economic reasons,\u201d to resume its management, pursuant to clause seven of said agreement.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Government of Spain has made countless attempts to open negotiations and offer proposals for collaboration with AECID that would allow the Center to continue operating in the cloister of Santo Domingo,\u201d but has been met \u201cat all times\u201d with the Archdiocese\u2019s refusal, which has the \u201cfirm intention\u201d of recovering the property for its missionary work and financial support. \u201cCurrently, alternatives are being evaluated to allow the Training Center\u2019s activities to continue at another location,\u201d it concludes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Archdiocese of Cartagena de Indias has informed the Spanish government that it
