Tens of thousands petitioned Jose Carrillo, the rector of Complutense University asking that the agreement with the Archdiocese of Madrid be adhered to and that the closing of university chapels be stopped. According to a spokesman for the religious-liberty organization MasLibres, Miguel Vidal, the “rector has argued that the university is not trying to shut down chapels, but to revise its agreement with the archdiocese.”
According to MasLibres, a certain Otero Carvajal “has ‘tried to close the chapel located in his department, offering only 65 square feet in a small hallway for chapel space.”
