Crime in Valledupar does not give up. Unknown subjects stole from the statue of Diomedes Díaz in the Los Juglares roundabout in La Provincia park in Valledupar, the Murano tooth that resembled the diamond tooth used by ‘El Cacique de la Junta’.
The sculptor John Peñaloza visited the place with the Secretary of Culture of Valledupar, Carlos Liñán, getting a tremendous surprise: there was no tooth in the statue of Diomedes Díaz, a situation for which they asked the police authorities to carry out the investigation of the case to find those responsible.
In this regard, the sculptor Peñaloza said that “I am surprised by this action since that tooth was almost impossible to pull out because it was held by a guaya; but they took it away. How sad”.
For his part, Liñán indicated that “from the Office of Culture we make an invitation and call to citizens to protect the works of art that embellish our parks, which makes our city a cultural attraction. We are committed to the maintenance of our parks and to the maintenance of the works, so that Valledupar can continue to attract worldwide attention, and thus we continue to be a cultural power ”.
The official also specified that repairs will be made to the statue of Iván Villazón, which was damaged in recent days by misfits, despite the fact that there is a CAI of the Police near the sector.
From the Twitter account of the Valledupar Culture office and the mayor’s office, a call was made to the community to protect the city’s parks and arts.
“From @AlcaldiaVpar we make an invitation to all citizens to protect the works of art that embellish our parks and make Valledupar an attractive city for cultural tourism. @CarlosLinan ”.
