City Hall of Madrid reinstates the commemorative plaque of Largo Caballero
In a significant development, the Madrid City Council has reinstated a plaque honoring Francisco Largo Caballero at the Chamberi District Council. The plaque, which was removed in a plenary decision in 2020, has been permanently restored to its original location following the annulment of the municipal agreement that removed the tribute by the courts.
The restoration of the plaque is being celebrated as a victory of "citizen mobilization" and the courts. Political parties such as Más Madrid and the PSOE are hailing this move as a "democratic victory." Eduardo Rubíno, acting spokesperson for Más Madrid, announced the news on his social media platforms.
However, the PSOE spokesperson, Reyes Maroto, expressed regret that the reinstatement was not notified to the Largo Caballero Foundation, UGT, or the PSOE. Maroto also stated that the plaque's restoration was made without transparency. The spokesperson considers the plaque a symbol of history and the fight for freedom and workers' rights, and demands respect for democratic memory and institutions regarding the plaque issue.
Francisco Largo Caballero is a historic socialist leader and former President of the Council of Ministers. He is known for his significant contributions to the Spanish Republic during the Spanish Civil War. José Luis Martínez-Almeida, the Madrid Mayor, is accused of trying to "rewrite history and smash the memory of Largo Caballero."
Más Madrid demands a public institutional act to reinaugurate the plaque. The Madrid City Council has yet to announce any plans for a reinauguration ceremony. The spokesperson of the Madrid City Council from the Socialist Party PSOE is Fernando Morán López, who served as spokesperson of the Socialist faction in the Madrid City Council in November 2000. However, this information may be outdated, and no current spokesperson name is clearly stated in the search results.

Reyes Maroto states that the City Council cannot continue acting against citizens and the law. The reinstatement of the plaque honoring Francisco Largo Caballero marks a significant step towards preserving historical memory and upholding democratic values in Madrid.
