SANTA CRUZ DE TENERIFE, May 19. (EUROPE PRESS) –
The PP candidate for Mayor of Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Carlos Tarife, affirmed this Friday that the capital has won the “harassment and demolition” practiced by the Government of the Canary Islands after the order of the TSJC that cautiously suspends the catalog of Francoist vestiges .
In a statement, he details that the ruling, promoted at the request of a City Council appeal, reinforces the “initial speech” of his party when it denounced that the Canarian president, Ángel Víctor Torres, “was committing an outrage” against the city “by not complying the historical memory law, drawing up a catalog of Francoist vestiges circumscribed to the city of Santa Cruz and not regional in scope, as established by current regulations”.
For Tarife, “what Ángel Víctor Torres has done is play politics with our heritage, in addition to trying to position Santa Cruz as a Francoist city, but we have shown him that we Santa Cruz fight for freedom and respect democracy and decisions judicial”.
Along these lines, he concludes by stating that “the Court has confirmed that Torres has acted from arbitrariness and political sectarianism with the city of Santa Cruz.”
