It was an extraordinary plenary session, the second consecutive that took place this Wednesday at the City Council of Badajoz at 12.00 hours. And the mayor of Badajoz, Ignacio Grajera (PP), who governs with an absolute majority, announced that the session was going to begin with a minute of silence, before entering fully into the issues of the day, as a tribute to the councilor of Ermua Miguel Ángel Blanco to coincide these days with the 26th anniversary of his murder. The mayor had warned in the presentation of the minute of silence that the initiative came to the City Council through the Miguel Ángel Blanco Foundation and that, in turn, also served to make a respectful tribute to the former socialist councilor of Badajoz, Francisco Muñoz, who was Minister of Culture, and who died a few days ago.

To everyone's surprise, the Vox councilors present – two of the three they have in the City Council, because one, precisely the spokesman, did not attend the plenary session – did not get up from their seats not like the rest of the groups with representation (PP and PSOE). So did the audience present in the plenary hall. Everyone present was perplexed by the attitude of the Vox councilors.

This formation has pointed out after the controversy raised that it takes "very seriously" the victims of ETA to be in the tributes where the PSOE is part, a "party that has spent a whole legislature whitewashing the murderers and executioners of ETA".

Vox recalled that it has "always" expressed its "most energetic rejection of the cowardly murderers who sowed terror for decades in Spain" and that "it is such that no" they can "coincide with the Socialist Group in any act, since they are the government partners of Bildu. " In the same way, he has shown his "total respect" for who was councilor of the city council, Francisco Muñoz, and has expressed his "deepest condolences" to his family and friends.

At the end of the plenary session, Mayor Ignacio Grajera declared, in reference to the councilors of Vox: "They forget the victim, Miguel Ángel Blanco." He added: "Today was a day to remember him and to express our respect for his suffering and that of his family, as well as to remember the pain caused by his murder."

In this sense, the mayor has criticized that "not getting up in his tribute is something inconceivable no matter how much the disastrous pact policies of the PSOE of recent years are not shared." Finally, he added: "We do not understand how he has not put ahead of everything who was and is a symbol of the union against the terrorism of the ETA band."
