The councilor of the Municipal Socialist Group, Juan Vicente Larrosa, has denounced Thursday "the lack of seriousness and commitment with which the PP government takes the Law of Historical Memory," after more than a decade without complying with it and allowing even there are numerous streets in the municipality that allude to military positions and dates of the Civil War and the Franco dictatorship.

"To want is to be able, and in this case the governments of the PP have demonstrated that the historical memory only serves them to remember Alfonso X the Wise or the Council of Murcia. To everything else they make deaf ears so as not to have to eliminate names like the of Francisco Franco of the streets of Lobosillo, for example ", indicated Larrosa.

"From the opposition we do everything we can to enforce the law and ensure that the municipality of Murcia is free of Franco references, references to a dictatorial and undemocratic period that should not have room in our street. a working table constituted and of the continuous demands, including those of the municipal councils that, as in the case of El Raal for example, have approved motions in their plenary to change the name of some streets, Ballesta and his team delay the subject everything they can, "he added.

"Streets like Francisco Franco in Lobosillo, General Yagüe in Murcia center, Gregorio Martínez Montesinos in Alquerías, Federico Servet in Santo Ángel or General Mola in El Palmar.A fifty streets whose names must disappear of our municipality taking advantage, precisely, the number of names approved for those who have not yet found a street, "has insisted the mayor, who has urged the mayor of Murcia to" stop playing in the footsteps with the Historical Memory and to eliminate once and for all the symbols and pro-Franco names of our streets and squares, as dictated by the Law that the PP has deliberately ignored. "

"We are fed up with fruitless meetings that only serve for the councilor Pelegrín to take the photo, meet the quota, discuss with representatives of the Historical Memory to not reach any agreement and let another six months go by without advancing the issue. We are not going to allow the PP to keep the Murcian and Murcia free from this issue. Although it may hurt to remove some of those plates, they will have to do it, "he concluded.
