Appointing the Virgen de la Salud perpetual mayor of Archena or using the presentation of the Holy Week poster are some of the partisan uses of religion and traditions that the Partido Popular de Archena has no scruples about using.
"They are not going to campaign at Easter because they instumentalize it"
From Ganar Archena, we want to denounce the partisan and interested use that the government team of Archena (PP) is making of this municipality, a Popular Party that has no scruples in using everything that is within its reach.
Since the presentation of the poster of Holy Week, where the Mayor of Archena took the opportunity to attack the electoral call, until the proposal of the "civil flag swearing" that the municipal government has convened for next April 7, going through the appointment as perpetual mayor of Archena.
Since we met the election call for April 28, the reaction of the PP has not delayed, to make the election campaign coincide with Holy Week, assuring the Mayor of Archena, patricia Fernandez that "was not going to perform any election in Holy Week and that, as mayor, he was not going to allow the streetlights of the municipality to be used to hang electoral posters ", of course, many of those present did not forget that this announcement was a clear electoral act, as is the fact of that the candidate for the Presidency of the Region of Murcia, Fernando Lopez Miras, is the preacher of the Holy Week in Lorca, or the head of the list to the Congress of Deputies by the PP, Teodoro Garcia, it is in Murcia.
The last "electoral act" of the Popular Party of Archena has been the proposal of appointment as perpetual mayor of the municipality to the Virgen de la Salud.
From Ganar Archena we have denounced, on repeated occasions, the partisan use that the popular ones make of the institutions and the manifest lack of respect of this corporation to the rest of councilors and to the political debate.
This time it was not going to be less, so much so that "we have received the poster before announcing the public act, that the proposal to the full", in this way the Pp de Archena has shown what we all know, that for them the political debate is a mere formality and once again they do not think to listen to the opinion of the councilors of the opposition, "they still do not know if the proposal will be approved or not, but they already have organized the public act in which they will be able to make the photo "
From our municipal group we want to express our utmost respect for all beliefs and religions, but we understand that these must be expressed in the private sphere and institutions must move towards secularism and the separation of the obsolete binomial Church / State.
