Overview

• MNAC lodged its objection with the Huesca court overseeing enforcement, saying it will proceed with profane works but cannot safely remove the murals detached in 1936.
• Fresh opinions from ICOMOS mural-painting chair Simona Sajeva and an ICCROM specialist urge a full risk assessment before any relocation.
• The museum proposes a phased plan aligned with international procedures that could run 15–18 months, contesting Aragón’s seven‑month schedule.
• MNAC challenges the credentials of lead conservator Natalia Martínez de Pisón and notes that her firm, ArteCo, has not filed annual accounts since 2017.
• Aragón’s government decries the move as a delay tactic, backs its technical team, demands the complete return to Sijena’s prepared chapter house, and says the matter proceeds through the courts.
