CTSSP-PODEMOS can not but be astonished at certain actions of the mayor of our city.
Every day he excels himself.
Now he is able to "censor" the proposals of the Mucho Más Mayo Festival, a festival of reference not only at regional but also national level.
All the works that are exhibited in the city and its neighborhoods during these days are selected by the responsible organs of the Festival, and of course do not have to go through the "pre-censorship" of mayor's office.
It is the artists themselves who propose works and places.
And the festival only advises and coordinates to avoid problems not foreseen by them.
The mayor can not turn his particular tastes and points of view into a mandatory criterion of the cultural policy of the city council.
From the Municipal Group of Pode, it is considered that if any of the works could have caused some technical problem they would have to have been solved by putting interest and "affection" with the young artists, trying to save those difficulties but without imposing the censorship to the artistic creativity Which makes this festival.
CTSSP wants to congratulate David Martínez Noguera, Councilor for Culture and the Festival team, municipal employees and artists, for the brilliant recovery in these two years of M + M, which had previously suppressed the PP government, and to return it to the city A lively, fresh, participatory and high level festival.
As for the censorship of the work called "The Birth of a Nation," which had been installed in front of the Arsenal gate and emulating a barricade, we have to remind the mayor, who longs for the time of the Canton, That this was done and fought by filling the streets of the city with barricades.
We believe that the work withdrawn does not imply any offense or any insult to anyone, if not the opposite, so we do not understand that performance of our times.
