The minister and leader of the PSPV, Diana Morant, has accused President Carlos Mazón and his party of presenting a proposal for a Law of Concord for the Valencian Community that “whitewashes Francoism.” “The law that seeks harmony is the Government’s Memory Law so that there is fair reparation for the victims of Franco’s regime; and it is what Europe also obliges us to do.” In this regard, she has pointed out that “it is the first time that the right not only uses that alternative historical account, but also wants to turn it into law.”
He has announced that the Government “is going to fight”, also in international instances, the processing of the Law of Concord of Aragon before its approval and that if the same is done in the Valencian Cortes “we will also fight it.” “These laws collide with the Government Memory Law, with the Constitution and with European regulations.” “It seems that the PP and Vox want to once again victimize the people who suffered the repression of Franco’s regime,” he added.
For his part, Carlos Mazón has accused the Government of trying to “cover up its very serious problems” with the announcement of resources for the concord laws promoted by PP and Vox governments in some autonomous communities, including Valencia. The Valencian president has indicated that “I continue working for harmony, I believe that we must work for harmony and I believe that we must give the category of victims of political violence to those who do not yet have it.”
In this sense, he has pointed out that it is “not acceptable that in the Valencian Community there are 11 unsolved ETA crimes and that they are not given the category of victims of political violence.” “What we want is to incorporate them, ratifying, confirming, consolidating all the rights of the victims until now, even developing them much better, because this is the objective,” he stressed.
“From there,” he continued, “it is more than evident that the Government of Spain, with these types of strategies, is trying to hide very serious cases that are besieging it at the moment. It is a very difficult situation that it has. the president of the Government, the Moncloa and the Socialist Party and these types of strategies, there is no doubt that the only thing they seek is to cover that up.”
“Concord is something else. These are government strategies to cover up the very serious problems it faces and for which it does not want to give explanations,” he concluded.
For his part, the Valencian vice president and Minister of Culture, Vicente Barrera, of Vox, insisted this Friday that the Concordia law promoted by PP and Vox “expands rights”, because “from 1931 to the present day there have been many victims of ideological, political or religious persecution, and everyone is placed on an equal footing”.
