| The Popular Party spokesperson in the City Council recalls that the rehabilitation process of the Old Prison was approved in plenary session with the vote in favor of the PSOE | The project was the subject of an ideas competition with the College of Architects and has a Committee of Experts on cultural matters The spokeswoman for the Popular Municipal Group, Rebeca Pérez, recalled that "currently the Old Prison is undergoing an ambitious rehabilitation process as approved in plenary session, in which the Socialist Group also voted in favor of said project." Pérez has criticized the socialists who "are neglecting the previous work of the Committee of Experts on cultural matters made up of seven personalities from this sector who have met up to three times to design the main lines of content for the Old Prison." This project, explains the spokesperson, "was the subject of an ideas competition with the College of Architects and, as agreed, one of the rooms will be dedicated to Historical Memory." "The Old Prison aspires to become an open cultural space that fosters democratic values, not an ideological toy.

Of course, we will preserve, as set out in the project, some spaces to remember what that building was, but not we will make of it a monument to sectarianism ", pointed out Pérez. "It is strange that yesterday the PSOE presented a motion on the Old Prison and today they give this press conference.

Perhaps their councilors were not in what they were," explained the spokeswoman. The spokeswoman added that "we do not understand how this was discussed yesterday Pérez has criticized that "the ideological battle of the PSOE is above all.

It seems that they want to induce all citizens to a state of collective amnesia and that we only have by memory what interests them." As Pérez has continued to explain, "culture and cultural management should not be sectarian, but free; it should not direct citizens in one way or another, but rather guarantee plurality and individual and collective creativity.

Ultimately, the Prison Vieja will not be a place for division or historical manipulation, but for culture, creativity and freedom.
