Neither PP nor Vox supported the motion to repair the poet’s memory Miguel Hernandez and cancel their political beliefs. But this time, the abstention of “popular” has made it possible to move forward, an initiative that has the support of the author’s family and that Compromís considers essential.
For advisor Esther Díez, it is a matter of “transmitting a more than fair request from the family who hears restore dignity also in the judicial field of the figure of our famous poet”. The PP doubts that the plenary session of the City Council is an appropriate place for this debate to then enter into comparisons, according to the mayor of Elche, Pablo Ruz.
“The conviction of Miguel Hernández is as unjustifiable as the death of Muñoz Secalike those that occurred in 1936 with the Paracuellos trial,” he said. From Vox they equate Miguel Hernández with Primo de Riverajust like the councilor for Family and Elders at the Town Hall, Aurora Rodil: “Lawyer, who was a legislator, very impetuous and who formed a political party”.
These comparisons were criticized by the opposition. “I regret that we are once again hearing the mayor’s statements that equating fascism with democracy“said Díez. For his part, Mariano Valera, PSOE advisor, sees in these words an “attempt to manipulate the historical narrative for his own political ends.” The truth is that a few days ago the PP aligned with Vox to overthrow this party same initiative, but at the town hall of Orihuela.
