Pedro Sanchez, this Wednesday, in Congress.
The President of Spain, Pedro Sánchez, has announced that before the end of November the catalogue of Francoist elements and symbologieswill be published in the Official Gazette of the State "so that they can be removed once and for all from our country and our streets".
Sanchez made this announcement at the Government Control Session in the plenary of Congress in response to a question from EH Bildu's parliamentary spokeswoman, Mertxe Aizpurua, who asked him what measures the government will take to "end the exaltation of Francoism."
This list announced by Sanchez is contained in the 2022 Lawon Democratic Memory, which urges the State to draw up a catalogue of Francoist symbols and elements to be removed.
Aizpurua has denounced that "there are organizations, fascists, Franchists, ultras or, why not say, Nazis operating in this state with complete impunity"whose actions have no consequences and are not punished.
"We believe it is time to take action," he asked Sanchez, who asked him to implement the Democratic Memory Act to put an end to this situation.
Sanchez replies that his government "has taken many steps in the field of democratic memory" and mentions the actions planned to commemorate the beginning of the Transition in 2025 (on 20 November it will be 50 years since the death of Francisco Franco), as well as the reform of the law of associations "with the aim of closing and dismantling the Francisco Franco Foundation".
He then announced the publication of the aforementioned catalogue because, in his words, "the memorrio may be democratic, but it must respect the principles of tolerance and democracy enshrined in the Spanish Constitution".
