The Huelva city council, governed by the popular mayor Pilar Miranda, has been subject to “purification” through an esoteric rite known as incense. This ‘cleansing’ of bad energies would have taken place last November in different rooms of the town hall (including the first mayor’s office and the plenary session room), but it is now that the spokesperson for La Izquierda, (IU , Podemos and the Andalusian People’s Initiative) Mónica Rossi, is going to ask the local Executive for explanations about this during the plenary session that is being held this Wednesday. Until now, and despite the interest that this matter has aroused, the mayor’s office has not commented on the matter.
The “witchcraft ritual”, as Rossi has defined it, would have taken place during the evening of the 16th of the eleventh month and Miranda, a councilor and two other women whose identity was unknown would have participated, according to the report. local media La Mar de Onuba. It was in this magazine where it was explained that the police officers who were guarding the public building that day had received orders to let these two unknown women pass, who had gone up to the first floor in order to carry out the incense, for which they would have needed salt to cover the floor of the rooms and rosemary to burn in the different rooms.
This was the unusual sight that the city hall’s cleaning staff found the next day. Salt everywhere and traces of burnt rosemary. Apparently, the bad energies of the building would be cleaned with the smoke from the incense, although it has also led La Izquierda to ask for “explanations” on this matter and to be interested in “whether public funds were used to carry out this act of witchcraft,” he commented. Rossi.
The coalition spokesperson regretted “having to fully address” an issue “so esoteric and inappropriate for a 21st century democracy” but believes that “citizens have the right to know if public money was used for the supposed ‘cleansing of spirits’.” ‘ in which salt was poured on the floor of municipal facilities and rosemary was burned for the questionable purpose of ‘chasing away evil spirits.'”
Likewise, Rossi has insisted that, at least for now, the mayor has not commented on the matter, “tiptoeing” him and “without clarifying who authorized such a ritual, whether security measures were adopted during the burning of the rosemary or if public money was used for it.”
“The ritual, known as incense, was carried out in the plenary hall and in other municipal offices and is used, according to popular myth, to carry out cleansing and protection rituals against bad energies,” he explained.
