Catalan People's Party shows "utmost respect" for party's choice in Jumilla matter
In a recent development, Juan Fernández, the authorised voice of the Catalan PP and spokesperson for the PP in the Catalan Parliament, has expressed his views on the regulation of cultural, social, or religious events in local sports facilities.
During a press conference on Friday, Fernández spoke about the need to ensure that sports activities or those organised by the town hall are held in local sports facilities, and that events "alien" to the municipality are not allowed.
This move comes as a result of a party transaction with a Vox text, and the city in question is Barcelona. Fernández expressed concern about traditions that "threaten the freedom and dignity of women" in Catalonia, and emphasised the need for these actions to be within the limits of the constitutional order and the freedom and dignity of all people.
The PP in Jumilla, a municipality in the Region of Murcia, has also approved a similar motion to change regulations. The PP in Jumilla expressed total respect for this motion, and other municipalities in Spain, such as Jumilla, are reportedly taking similar steps to control celebrations.
Fernández advocated for work to be done from a position of integration, respect for coexistence, and all religions. He did not elaborate on his views regarding the niqab and burka specifically, but debates on the Islamic veil have been held in Catalonia.
