We the United Organizations Safeguards of the Historic Center of Panama City send greetings to you and to the executives.

We are worried about the technical management and handling and administration of our Historic Center of Panama City, Central America.

We are specifically emphasizing a note we sent to the Spanish Embassy in Panama delivered to Dr. Jesus Molina Vazquez, dated 22 January 2007. And a copy sent to the Spanish Embassy Cultural Attaché, Dr. Miguel Moro, dated 25 January 2007. Secretary Lourdes phone: (507) 227-5122.

Our concerns have not been replied to date by the Spanish Embassy of Spanish International Cooperation Agency.

Now they want to seize and occupy a valuable historically significant site for Our San Felipe Community and our Nation of Panama, The Independence Soldiers Home, contiguous to our Paseo General Esteban Huertas of Our Historic Center.

Most importantly, the only historical building with pedestrian access to Paseo General Esteban Huertas where the Artisans United of the Casco Antiguo (AUCA) daily work. We are registered with the Office of the UNESCO-World Heritage Center (WHC) as Safeguards for Our Historic Center.

We are writing you to express our concern of our exclusion by the Spanish International Cooperation Agency and the Spanish Embassy from the planning, the active participation in committees and pseudo cultural projects in Our Historical Center.

We want you, as EU/EC leading authority to audit the funds provided for Projects in Latin America and Panama by EU/EC given to the Spanish International Cooperation Agency.
Respectfully submitted,

Adán Cerrud Sánchez, Coord. OUPSAF Aníbal Chacón, Sect. OUPSA
