Vox considers it "historic" to leave the Islands without a Democratic Memory Law

PalmVox's deputy spokesperson in the Balearic Parliament, Sergio Rodríguez, applauded a "historic event" on Monday: the repeal of the Balearic Islands' Democratic Memory Law, which will take place on Tuesday in Parliament. He considers it historic for two reasons. First, because it will eliminate a "partisan, freedom-crushing" law. Second, because it is "the first law to be passed solely at Vox's initiative": "It's the first law we've passed."

The session in which the legislation will be repealed will once again be presided over by the Speaker of the House, Gabriel Le Senne, who is awaiting trial for an alleged hate crime for tearing down a photograph of Aurora Picornell and Les Roges del Molinar in the chamber. These events occurred precisely while the repeal of the law was being debated. However, Rodríguez has guaranteed that he will maintain neutrality in the debate. "His conduct has always been impeccable," he said: "We have set hate at very low levels." In this regard, he expressed confidence that Le Senne will ultimately be "acquitted." The PP spokesperson, Sebastià Sagreras, has guaranteed his group's support for Vox's initiative in accordance with the agreements between the two parties. "Our vote tomorrow reflects an effort to get through this legislative session," he noted, and criticized the fact that "in the Islands there are two laws, one on historical memory and one on mass graves, a result of the jealousy between left-wing parties."

"They are not democrats"

"They are not democrats," said Lluís Apesteguia, leader of MÉS per Mallorca. "Vox wants to outlaw political parties, it wants to eliminate the Historical Memory Law," he said, comparing the far-right party to Adolf Hitler, because the Nazi party participated in democratic elections during the Weimar Republic.
