ARCA has publicly clarified that it is not responsible for the ultras having turned the fascist monument of La Feixina into their sentimental altar. And the truth is that it is difficult to decide whether it is more extraordinary that a heritage entity considers it necessary to justify itself or that it states –as it has done in ARA Balears– that “preserving La Feixina has not contributed to it becoming the ‘ultra’ meeting point”. Perhaps the extreme part of the extreme right would continue for centuries and centuries celebrating in front of nothing. I don't see it.

Vox Balears has filed an appeal against the resolution that includes the monolith of La Feixina, in Palma, in the census of Francoist symbols, a step that opens the door to its possible removal. The party has promoted this action, in which the municipal group in the Palma City Council, the parliamentary group and the party's structure in the Balearic Islands have coordinated.

Half a century after Franco's death and with the 90th anniversary of the start of the Civil War approaching next year, the mark of that dark period in our history is still very much present for the descendants of the more than 2,000 victims murdered and the more than 10,000 people imprisoned during the conflict. Although this debate has traditionally centered around the Fajina of Palma, the tallest monolith built by the Franco regime in the Balearic Islands to glorify its victory in the Civil War was erected in Mahón and still stands, 86 years later, overlooking the gardens of the military residence located next to the Plaza de la Explanada. It is 21 meters high and was conceived by the then military governor of Menorca, Eduardo Recas, based on a design by the engineer Cerdó, which was executed by the municipal architect Josep Maria Claret.
