The PP spokesperson in Les Corts Valencianes, Nando Pastor, confirmed his party's backing for the initiative this Tuesday. Pastor regretted that the Valencian Concord Law is currently before the Constitutional Court
due to the fault of Pedro Sánchez's Government
as, according to him, otherwise this issue would not be debated. Vox's proposal urges the Valencian Government to adopt necessary measures to prevent the destruction or removal of buildings, shields, insignia, and any other elements attached to public buildings or located in public spaces, with the aim of
preserving national historical heritage intact
The Vox spokesperson, José María Llanos, explained that, following the Government's unconstitutionality appeal and the suspension of some provisions of the autonomous law, a modification was made through the Accompanying Law regarding the relocation and re-signification of affected symbols, which
has not been suspended
Therefore, they believe that
it is legally possible to proceed
to maintain these symbols, which include the Cross of the Fallen in Alicante and the Cross of Ribalta Park in Castellón, in addition to
all other symbols that represent our historical heritage
When asked about the association of these symbols with Francoism, Llanos argued that the cross
is 2,000 years old
and
has little to do with political regimes and more to do with our tradition and our faith
The PP spokesperson added that the Concord Law
values and places all victims on the same level
including those of the Republic, Francoism, and ETA, as all deserve the same respect. For his part, the PSPV spokesperson, José Muñoz, criticized Vox for showing
its essence
which is to
defend fascism and all commemorative monuments of fascism
lamenting that the PP has
fallen into the hands
of this party.
