Vox and PP remove LGTBI flags and acts against sexist violence in Náquera (Valencia)

The government agreement in Náquera (Valencia) between Vox, winner of the elections, and the PP includes measures such as the removal of LGTBI flags from official buildings and replacing concentrations against sexist violence with acts “against all violence” or “against the violence”.

This is clear from the agreement that Vox has shared on its social networks and that has allowed the investiture of Iván Expósito as mayor of this town of 7,700 inhabitants last Saturday. Vox has obtained 4 councilors and the PP, 3 in the municipal elections of May 28.

Among the points of the agreement are the “promotion of constitutional values” and the commitment not to place LGTBI flags on balconies and facades of municipal facilities.. Point 16 also includes: “Replace the concentrations of 'no to sexist violence' with 'no to violence' or 'we condemn all violence'.

Other points are the “celebration of the day of the Constitution and Hispanic Heritage” in the municipality, alluding to December 6 and October 12, or the “adjustment of the municipal subsidies policy” with the “suppression of those that do not have a marked social, sports, cultural function” and those intended “to finance pro-independence and pan-Catalan entities”. Also established as a point of the agreement is the “cutting of socially unproductive political spending, reviewing the items of institutional advertising and superfluous expenses”, and the delegation of powers in matters of institutional communication, networks and the press will be in the hands of a Vox councilor.

In addition, the “institutional neutrality in the cultural sphere”, the “defense of Valencian traditions and culture as well as the popular festivals of the municipality” and the “defense of property against illegal occupation” are agreed..

In the Government team, one of the four Vox councilors will have the powers of Bullfighting Traditions and Celebrations, Institutional Communication, Protocol, Heritage, Water, Agriculture, Hunting and Livestock. Another of them will have the powers of Local Administration, Family, Life and Senior Citizens, Urbanizations and New Technologies, while the third of the mayors will have Social Welfare, Human Resources, Health, Education and Citizen Attention and the mayor will have powers of Treasury, Citizen Security and Internal Regime.

Among the councilors of the PP, the powers of Town Planning, Public Works, Municipal Services, Sports, Parks and Gardens, on the one hand, Emergencies, Youth, Culture and Festivals, on the other, and, finally, Tourism, Employment, Local Development, Commerce, Industry and Fairs.

From the PSPV-PSOE of Náquera they have considered that this agreement is “the pact of shame and hate”, the result of “the duo of the right and the extreme right that turns Náquera into a laboratory for policies of discrimination against collectives Victims of Greater Violence”. Likewise, they have invited the residents of the town to place rainbow flags on their balconies and windows, “with the colors that the new government denies to all of society.”.
