A spokesperson for the concentration indicated that one of the reasons why the former mayor does not deserve this place is his leading role in the controversies. with “brutal sexist and homophobic remarks”in addition to “his absolutely brutal attack and belligerence against the neighborhood movement, social movements, the youth movement and everything related to the world of culture, artists and music in bars”.
Likewise, he recalled episodes such as the “brutal repression” that occurred in Playa de las Moreras on the night of San Juan in 2000 or what happened in the Pajarillos neighborhood with its “belligerence against the movement against drug trafficking in the neighborhood.
“On the other hand, there are all the problems he has had linked to corruption and which come from physical commerce and speculation, from the ‘Letters of Comfort’ affair, from the burial or officially protected accommodation given to the son. de León de la Riva, PP officials and families of PP officials, are some of the most important episodes,” the spokesperson underlined in statements collected by Ep.
For the spokesperson for the concentration, for all this the former municipal councilor, who in his opinion is a “very toxic” asset, “does not deserve a place” and “Valladolid does not deserve only its public squares and its streets are linked to this character “that he is still active as a talk show host and that he supported what Israel is doing in Gaza a month ago,” he warned.
For her part, the spokesperson for Valladolid Toma La Palabra, Rocío Anguita, who participated in the demonstration, expressed her disagreement with the proposal which she considers “no consensus”.
“To name streets and squares, we must first seek consensus and then be educational”, he indicated, to emphasize that, for example, the initiative of the PSOE by which a street would be named “Jeros “, that of Los Chichos is “a proposal from a local artist”, which, according to him, “has all the consensus in the world”. However, “the mayor said he would look into it, but they voted against it,” he criticized.
In this sense, he called on the mayor of Valladolid, Jesús Julio Carnero, to “seek consensus on these measures, because they concern the entire city”. “Otherwise, we are looking for a neutral name, like the one proposed ‘Plaza de la Igualdad’, that is, names of consensus and values that we all assume,” he concluded.
