Ayuso opens up to protect the Cross of the Valley of the Fallen to avoid the Democratic Memory Law

The clash of forces between Sol and Moncloa has found a new setting in the

.

Because the Cultural Heritage Law that the Government of

has sent to the regional Assembly includes in its article 73C the creation of a new protection for ethnographic heritage assets.

And there the Cruz del Valle raised by the dictator Francisco Franco would be collected.

Weeks ago, coinciding with the publication in the BOE of the

, Vox proposed declaring the Valley of the Fallen an Asset of Cultural Interest to try to avoid the new state legislation.

And precisely in the new legislative text of the Community of Madrid reference is made to this possibility "as long as the technicians so deem it", point out from the president's team.

According to the text that has been sent to the

and whose amendments to the entire left are voted on this Thursday, with few options to prosper in the face of the foreseeable refusals of PP and Vox, the Community will protect "all movable, immovable, intangible , spaces or elements that constitute significant testimony and expression of the identity, culture and traditional ways of life of the Community of Madrid".

Among them, article 73c specifies "religious architecture, including traditional Calvaries and crosses, as well as decorative elements and movable property directly related to the patrimonial asset to be protected."

That would be where the cross of the Valley of the Fallen, located in San Lorenzo de El Escorial and managed by National Heritage, could fit.

"In any case, as is the case with the current Law, the regulated procedure for protection would remain in the hands of the technicians, who would have to determine the patrimonial value of the assets to be protected within this category," they point out in the regional government that set May 2023 as the maximum date for the final approval of the law if the legislative deadlines are met.

The Vox spokeswoman,

, had already asked at the end of October during a press conference after the Board of Spokespersons that the regional government adopt this measure.

And now I could see it fulfilled in the absence of the approval of the law, the evaluation of the technicians and the analysis of the legal intricacies to find out if this regional legislation could be executed or could be stopped by the state, in this case, the Law of Democratic memory when overlapping.
