MÁS por Inca defends the democratic memory ordinance as a "wall against fascism in the face of the repeal of the Balearic law"

PalmMÁS por Inca defended the validity of the municipality's democratic memory ordinance this Friday after the Balearic Islands Parliament approved the repeal of the regional law on memory with votes from the People's Party and Vox. The eco-sovereignist party considers this decision "a democratic setback" and an attack on the dignity of the victims of Francoist repression. In light of this, the party emphasized the role of the municipal ordinance approved in Inca, promoted by the party itself, as a key tool for continuing to defend democratic values. The legislation establishes the framework for the City Council to recognize and provide reparations to the victims of Francoism, remove symbols of the dictatorship, preserve memorial sites, and promote educational and historical outreach activities. The ordinance also enabled the creation of the Municipal Council for Democratic Memory, a pioneering body in the Balearic Islands with the participation of memorial and social organizations.

The Councilor for Democratic Memory and spokesperson for MÁS per Inca, Alice Weber, has asserted that, at a time when regional institutions are "taking steps backward" in this area, city councils must assume the responsibility of defending human rights, historical truth, and dignity.

"In Inca, democratic memory will be a bulwark against fascism and oblivion," stated Weber, who also emphasized that the city will continue to promote memory policies despite what she considers an institutional setback at the regional level.

The councilor insisted that the municipal ordinance "is not just an administrative instrument, but a political and moral commitment to democracy." In this regard, she argued that democratic memory must serve to prevent "any attempt to whitewash or trivialize Francoist repression." Finally, Weber emphasized the role of local councils as the front line in defending democratic values: "When other institutions back down, municipalities must step up. Inca will not forget that."
