The institutional act of granting the title of Favorite Son of the City of Totana to the historian and researcher totanero, Ginés Rosa López, will be held on December 1 (20:45 hours), in the sociocultural center "La Cárcel", in the framework of the cultural activities of the patron saint festivities of Santa Eulalia.
The Plenum approved last June a proposal of the Mayor's Office, with the votes in favor of Ganar Totana-IU and PSOE and the abstention of the PP and edile not attached, to appoint this totanero writer, historian and researcher Favorite Son of the Leal and Noble City of Totana and give its name to the Theater of the Municipal Center of Culture, that would happen to be denominated "Theater Ginés Rosa".
The event will also be celebrated with the celebration of a concert of the Band of the Musical Group of Totana that same night (21:00 hours) inside the program of the celebrations patronales.
In the motion of the Mayor's Office, it was recalled, in its day, the support and promotion that Gines Rosa gave to the handicrafts totanera from its positions as director of the Institute of Promotion of the Region of Murcia and as director general of Tourism of the Autonomous Community of Murcia, which allowed the opening of doors and the promotion of businesses in sector fairs, both national and international.
It also referred to the fact that in his person "facts and values" come together as "a totanero at the service of others, who has worked with effort, determination and generosity and always to put in public value the socializing character of our culture and crafts ".
In addition, since 1984 he settled permanently in Murcia, he has given repeated examples of being a tireless worker in the investigation and diffusion of the history and culture of Totana;
an effort that has been reflected in the publication of 10 books on this municipality, as well as more than 40 articles for the publications of Holy Week and Cuadernos de La Santa.
Likewise, recently Totana's bibliographic and documentary heritage has been greatly enriched thanks to the generosity and affection it feels for its people.
Also in the year 2015, he donated almost 300 books of his magnificent personal library to the municipal library "Mateo García", and also, on two occasions, he has made very important altruistic donations to the Municipal Archive of documents that were once in the same and then, by unknown avatars, disappeared from this public service.
These contributions have taken place during the years 2015 and 2016 and between them total a total of 23 documents of dates between 1374 and 1863, all written on parchment and eight dating from the Middle Ages, a very important period of local history, since that was when Totana was born and was then the object of a series of privileges aimed at favoring him and making him prosper in those times of consolidation and difficulties.
The 23 documents have the peculiarity that almost all are privileges or confirmations of the same that the Council received from the "generosity and authority" of the kings and masters of the Order of Santiago.
In the motion of the Mayor's Office it is stated that "thanks to people like Ginés Rosa López offers the opportunity to be more cultured every day, to know our history better and to verify the successes, correct the errors and walk steadily towards the path of progress and concord. "
