Reviews of media and opposition to Ada Colau by the statue of Franco in the Born – Blasting News

The Barcelona City Council # Ada Colau wants to mount a major exhibition entitled “Franco, Victoria, Republic. Impunity and urban space. “ will open in October and will include two statues of the dictator Franco that were stored in a municipal warehouse. But how to present them has outraged the opposition, the media and those who felt firsthand what made the # Francoism .

Everyone agrees that placing the statues, as an equestrian dictator, next to the Commercial Centre del Born, has been a huge mistake. First, the C. C. Born, before a market and now a mall that had a major exhibition of the third anniversary of the events of 1714, put a Franco statue there is interpreted as a direct attack on Catalan by the council.

Several responsible for it have said it is not. Gerardo Pisarello, First Deputy Mayor says that this is for “make education, especially among young people, and break the silence about the crimes of Francoism, also for Democracy “ Regrets the criticism of ERC and especially its leader Joan Tardà. ” I hardly believe that a veteran fighter antifranquista as Tardà not share these purposes. “ also says that this will be part of another major exhibition, ” Memoirs of ruin “ that will expose everything bad that Francoism caused Barcelona. claims that has already been done in other cities without any fuss.

the thing has worsened with other leaders of the city had much tactless to answer the criticism. One said that the mast with the Catalan flag next to the C. C. Born, 17 m. 14 cms., Was “villager nationalist porn” or Jaume Collboni (PSC), which branded the C. C. Born if the “Valley of the Fallen of separatism”. Without another said in Twitter “Franco is taken out Polònia in TV3 and nothing happened. ”

The Catalan media lament this awkwardness of the council with such a sensitive issue for any Catalan. They say it seems that the city of Ada Colau look more attacking the independence otherwise. Vicent Partal, Director Vilaweb, ironically titled its editorial “Colau, Franco, Barcelona”.

For example, has been banned La Coronela, each September 11 National Day of Catalonia, parade through the streets of Barcelona to make the offering to the monument to Rafael De Casanova, following the same path as the Catalan political mythical made that day in 1714, from the Porta GOTHIC Consell de Cent to the carrer Ciutat reaching the monument, located in the Ronda de Sant Pere. and had been doing this parade since its founding in 2011.

the organizers of La Coronela have criticized that have asked to meet with officials of the City Council, but give them appointment for September 14, three days after the event, and many proposals, none heard by the team . Colau they say they do not represent any political party and yes to the guilds of the Barcelona of 1714. they feel slighted by feel Catalan culture: “it gives us the feeling that this government [Municipal], not deserve to be locals. Perhaps we want out of town, perhaps more fun History out that our own, perhaps are more fun cultures other than our own, maybe if we made a group of Bourbon recreation would make them more grace. “ # September 11, 1714
