Vox files an appeal against the decision on the monolith of sa Feixina
The party presents an appeal of height and defense that the monument was already judicially endorsed and that it has heritage protection
PalmaVox Balears has filed an appeal against the resolution that includes the sa Feixina monolith, in Palma, in the census of Francoist symbolism, a step that opens the door to its possible removal.
The group has promoted this action in a coordinated manner between the municipal group in the Palma City Council, the parliamentary group, and the party's structure in the Balearic Islands.
From Vox, they maintain that this decision does not take into account judicial sentences that would have already validated the legality of the monument after its process of re-signification. Therefore, they consider that the Government would be reopening a matter that was already closed in the legal sphere. The party criticizes that this debate is being brought up again and interprets it as a decision with a political background. In this regard, it accuses the central Government of using these types of actions to reactivate the confrontation around historical memory.
Vox argues that the monolith must be maintained for various reasons. On the one hand, for its historical and architectural interest. On the other hand, because after the modifications made, it would no longer have, according to them, a character of exaltation, but of remembrance of the victims of the war. Furthermore, the party emphasizes that it is an element cataloged as a heritage asset, which would grant it specific protection that would make its removal difficult.
Finally, they also point to possible irregularities in the procedure, as they consider that the public hearing process would not have been completed correctly nor would the Consell de Mallorca have been consulted.
