      <description><![CDATA[<p>The event that took place last September 5th in Santa Coloma de Farners, in homage and restitution of the memory of the two Catalan nurses, Daria and Mercè Buxadé, murdered by the fascists on September 5th, 1936, in Manacor and buried in the Son Coletes cemetery, has been possible due to a confluence of facts and forces that must be valued as a whole. There is, without a doubt, the perseverance of their nephew, Carles Buxadé, who has dedicated his life to recovering their history. There is the work of researchers Antoni Tugores and Jaume Miró, who have contributed to reconstructing it. There is the La Bulla association of Santa Coloma de Farners, which has returned the memory of its neighbors. And there is the task of Memòria de Mallorca, of people and entities that make it possible for the victims of Francoism to cease being invisible.</p>]]></description>

With all the cruelty that one is capable of imagining, Daria and Mercè Buxadé Adroher were killed in Manacor on September 5, 1936, by order of the bloodthirsty fascist Arconovaldo Bonaccorsi, the self-proclaimed “Count Rossi”. They were not alone; they were accompanied by three other women, nurses who <a href="https://www.arabalears.cat/cultura/dones-son-coletes-milicianes-bayo_1_4657520.html" target="_blank">had enlisted as volunteers with Captain Alberto Bayo's expedition</a> in Mallorca.</p>]]></description>

The measure, which was initially approved by the Urban Planning Department last year, now faces its penultimate step before final validation. The final vote is scheduled for the next plenary session of the city council, to be held next week.</p>]]></description>

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.</p>]]></description>
