The council reported that, after a visit to the field, during which the condition of four monuments in the Los Heroes area was verified, “irreversible damages” were observed.
The National Monuments Council has ordered that all cleaning activities carried out by the Metropolitan Regional Government in Alameda be “immediately suspended”.
Four statues in Los Heroes, located between Vergara Street and Almirante Latorre, have suffered “irreversible damages” according to a letter addressed to an architect of the Claudio Orrego-led organization. The sculptures are those of Simon Bolivar and the Swiss Community, Carlos Walker Martinez, George Canning, located in the Los Heroes sector, between Vergara and Almirante Latorre streets.
The text begins: “I greet you and write to inform you of my concern regarding the Public Monuments located on the Alameda Axis, as well as the information reported by the Council in its Ord. The text starts with CMN Ndeg3801 from 08/28/2023. This is where the technical guidelines for proper implementation of these interventions were sent, along with considerations and suggestions.
It is also added that: “Additionally an annex containing interventions guidelines for these members of parliament was included, including specific considerations in certain cases. Some proposals weren’t made individually and they were inappropriate. These guidelines were also to be adjusted to reflect the individual statuses of the MPs in order to prevent damaging monuments, and preserve the assets according to conservation criteria.
The situation at these four monuments has been confirmed by a visit to the field. It was noted that these interventions were carried out using aggressive and highly intrusive methods, which caused irreversible damages.
It is noted that the Council had already alerted him to this point: “In the annex sent, it was indicated the following:”[…] In the case of removing the layers of painted from these pedestals the more layers applied The greater the degree of resistance will be for its removal.” It is noteworthy that the Council has already warned him on this issue: “In an annex, the following was indicated: “[…] The more layers applied, the greater resistance it will face for removal. Doing it this way means subjecting the support under very aggressive processes. This, without taking into consideration the disintegration or cracks and fractures which may be present beneath the paint layers.
It is noted that the material used to support the monument was severely damaged. Damage to a National Monument can be exemplified in Articles 38 bis and 38 of Law No. “Law No. 17,288 concerning National Monuments.”
The Ord states that “therefore it has been reported that all MPs in Alameda must suspend the current intervention work in MP immediately to avoid causing further damage. Likewise, the proposed intervention must be revised in accordance with what had previously been reported.” The communication concludes by stating that CMN Ndeg3801 must be submitted to the Council for review.
Orrego sent a first message to the social networking site “X”, stating that the Monuments Council’s message was “unusual”. However, the original message was deleted later from Orrego’s account. Regional Government said that they would make a decision in the coming minutes.
Orrego was seen in Alameda cleaning the monuments and façades. He reported on August 8 that 100% of facades were beautiful after the completion of the first phase. On the 31st, the second phase began. This included the cleaning of 51 monuments along the eight-kilometer Alameda.
