Councillor IU-Greens in the city of Murcia, Esther Herguedas, today criticized the appointment of the body of the local police as a Knight of the Royal Brotherhood of Knights of the Fuensanta considering that "violates the principle of non-confessional state to be followed by public institutions. "
Herguedas noted that this private religious organization, which is governed by canon law, regulates only belonging to the same individual men, so "what legal status do not understand the team will have invented the City Government of Murcia and the Brotherhood to give the local police of this title of Knight of the Virgin. "
"Therefore, according to the statutes of the Brotherhood, we should understand that such incorporation of the municipal body affect each and every one of the members of the body people, or at least to men, since women can not handle the brotherhood, and that all they would be required to profess the Catholic faith, devotion to the Virgin feel Fuensanta, contribute financially to the work that promotes brotherhood and participate in events organized in honor of the virgin, something manifestly incompatible with the principles of religious freedom and non-confessional state, "he argued Herguedas.
He also noted that other obligations of the police would be distinguished by their personal, family and social Christian life, being married and exemplary parents, participate in training, spiritual and liturgical events organized by the Brotherhood, bring new members and pay membership fees thereto.
