The City of Lemoa will not again lift the Francoist cross of Mount Lemoatx

Zarata mediatikoz beteriko garai nahasiotan, merkatu logiketatik urrun eta irakurleengandik gertu dagoen kazetaritza beharrezkoa dela uste baduzu, ARGIA bultzatzera animatu nahi zaitugu. Geroz eta gehiago gara, jarrai dezagun txikitik eragiten.

ERNAI was active on the eve of Columbus Day. The Francoist symbol that arose in 1937 on Mount Lemoatx of Lemoa (Bizkaia) was shot down by several people. The youth organization stated in a statement that these monuments "beyond being a symbol of Franco, are a sign of what Franco's regime has survived in the 78" regime.

The portal Naiz.eus has indicated that the City of Lemoa will not put the Francoist cross back on the street. In fact, the municipal government has recalled that the demolition of the monument was already planned to develop instead a historical memory project. The Consistory added that the Franco symbol is contrary to the Law of Historical Memory and that it will not be lifted or repaired in any other case.
