Ferraz demands the dismissal of a Valencian councilor for describing Franco as a "historical figure"

The PSOE considers that the statements of the Minister of Justice and Interior; Elisa Nuñez (from Vox), referring to Francisco Franco as "a historical figure" are "incompatible with his political responsibility." On social network

In an interview in the newspaper Las Provincias, Nuñez refers this Sunday to the dictator with a brief "he was a historical character" and refuses to say that it was a dictatorship, as the Valencian president himself, Carlos Mazón, described it in the angry control session last Thursday. "I have not lived through that time," insists Nuñez to give his opinion about the Franco regime.

Nuñez's interview is published after PP and Vox began the procedures this week to approve the controversial Concordia law that, according to the opposition, serves to "whitewash Francoism." For its promoters, it simply seeks to pay tribute to all the victims of political, ideological and religious persecution from 1931 to the present. The tension in the last plenary session was one of the thickest in memory in the Valencian Chamber.

In the interview, Nuñez, asked if she feels comfortable with the term gender violence, answers that she does not "like to catalog things" and that "this is not the time to talk about concepts or terms, but to place the victim at the center." ".

The PSOE also denounces that the Vox councilor has problems with climate change, which it does not want to mention by name. “You don't have to take a concept into account,” she responds when the journalist asks her about the impact of this phenomenon on the recent fires that the Valencian Community has suffered.

In this context, the socialists criticize that "the traveling companions of the PP in many territories of Spain, its preferred government partners in CC.AA and city councils, are showing themselves every day for what they are: echoes of a past that made our country a fascist dictatorship in the middle of Europe for 40 years".
