Cross Removed from a Public Place in Vinalesa
The town council from Vinalesa, governed by the Javier Puchol (PSOE-left wing party), demolished a cross-monolith in that was put in place in memory of eight people who were killed in during the civil war in 1936 in the town. Among the eight, was a Catholic priest who was murdered for his beliefs and some from the town saw this demolition has disrespectful to the deceased.
This is one of the many public Crosses that have been demolished or removed in Spain by the authorities under the new "Historical Memory Law", which targets religious symbols, due to their historical link to the Francoist regime.
