The Spanish government has approved the criteria that will define the new process. <a href="https://mptmd.gob.es/portal/prensa/noticias/2025/Noviembre/20251118#:~:text=Se%20desarrolla%20as%C3%AD%20la%20Ley%20de%20Memoria,adem%C3%A1s%2C%20la%20Comisi%C3%B3n%20T%C3%A9cnica%2C%20que%20ser%C3%A1%20el" rel="nofollow"><em>State catalogue of symbols and elements contrary to democratic memory</em></a>In this context, MP Vicenç Vidal has confirmed that his party has already requested the inclusion of the Feixina monument in Palma and the monolith on the Explanada de Maó in Menorca, a proposal that the Ministry of Territorial Policy and Democratic Memory "views favorably, in principle." On November 18, the Ministry approved the Royal Decree to compile the catalog. This step opens the door to reviewing and potentially removing public monuments that commemorate or glorify the Francoist dictatorship, its institutions, or anniversaries linked to the Civil War and the coup d'état. The MP <a href="https://www.arabalears.cat/etiquetes/vicenc-vidal/" target="_blank">Vicenç Vidal</a> –a member of the Ara Més-Sumar coalition– has announced that his party has formally requested the inclusion of two monuments from the Balearic Islands: the Feixina monolith and the Explanada de Maó monolith.</p>]]></description>
