Marisol Garmendia, the Spanish Government delegate in the Basque Country, will consider next week what steps will be taken to remove a Franco inscriptionfrom a municipal building in Baños de Ebro(Álava), which the mayor (PP) refuses to withdraw voluntarily.

Last March, the PSE-EE askedthetown council to remove the Franco motto "For God's Sake and Fallen for Spain", which is engraved in stone on the dintel of a window of a municipal buildingwith the name of four neighbors killed in the Civil War.

Subsequently, the Subdelegation of the Spanish Government in Álava issued a formal request to the City Council to comply with the Act on Democratic Memory and to withdraw this registration, which has not been complied with.

In this context, the mayor of the town\u00A0(PP), Francisco Javier García, has said that he will not withdrawtheinscription "of his own free will" and has said that he does not "disturb anyone" and that "he has been in town all his life".
