The Palma City Council, with votes in favor from the PP and Vox parties, has taken another step towards granting maximum protection to the Feixina monolith.

MÁS 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.

"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."

The People's Party (PP) and Vox will reject a comprehensive amendment proposed by left-wing groups next Tuesday to block the repeal of the Democratic Memory Law. This is an attempt by the Socialist Party of the Balearic Islands (PSIB), Más per Mallorca, Más per Menorca, and Unidas Podemos to maintain the law after the PP renewed its push for its elimination to appease Vox. "We are very calm," said the spokesperson for the far-right party, Manuela Cañadas, who expressed confidence that the PP "will keep its word." The PP rejected Vox's first attempt to abolish the law in exchange for the left's support for the flood zones decree, and a second attempt to correct the erroneous approval of 50 Vox amendments to the Administrative Simplification Law. That move led to a break in relations with the far right. But after regaining their parliamentary alliance, the PP dissolved the pact with the left and agreed to process the repeal of the Democratic Memory Law again.
