The PP and Vox will scrap the Memory Law on Tuesday: "The era of revenge is over"

Palm"Vox will fulfill its promise to repeal the sectarian and unjust Democratic Memory Law in the next plenary session." The far-right spokesperson, Manuela Cañadas, celebrated the fact that the law's repeal will finally be on the agenda next Tuesday. "The era of revenge and the dictatorship of a single way of thinking is over," she declared. To carry out her plans, she will have the support of the PP (People's Party), which considers the law unnecessary. "This law has never sought justice, but rather revenge and to erase half of Spain from the history books with public money," the deputy asserted. "Those responsible for the conflict have names: the PSOE (Spanish Socialist Workers' Party) and its separatist partners," she said. In her view, these parties "have tried to impose an official truth by fining those who don't think like them." "We are returning freedom to schools, families, and victims," ​​she said: "History belongs to historians, and the victims belong to both sides."

Parliament passed the law in April 2018 during Francina Armengol's (PSIB) government. The PP gave it partial support. However, since Vox began conditioning Marga Prohens's government, it has demanded the law's repeal. Its elimination has been repeatedly postponed as relations between the two parties became strained. When the far-right Vox rejected the president's 2025 budget, the PP negotiated several decrees with the left-wing party in exchange for keeping the law in force. However, once it repaired its alliance with Vox, it again offered to repeal the law. The fact that it is finally being repealed is a sign of the good relationship that currently exists between the two parties. But the left believes that, by using this law as a bargaining chip, the PP has broken its word.
