Mateos regrets that the image of a celebration as important and expected by Lorca as it is Holy Week is being news in this year's edition due to the fact that the person in charge of announcing its beginning is Pedro Antonio Sánchez, investigated for his imputation in The Auditorium Case
The Spokesman of the PSOE in the City of Lorca, Diego José Mateos has announced that his group has taken the decision to go, as every year, to the traditional proclamation of Holy Week to be held on March 31 and to be carried out by D Pedro Antonio Sánchez, because it ensures "respect for our celebration of International Tourist Interest, those who make it possible and the Lorca, is far above the town crier, and in this case even more, Pedro Antonio Sánchez.
Faced with the controversy raised by the personal and legal circumstances of the town crier in relation to his procedural situation in the "Auditorium" and "Punic" cases, from the Municipal Socialist Group we deeply regret that our Holy Week can be "stained" by the media treatment That can be made with respect to the crier.
Mateos firmly believes that our Holy Week, declared of International Tourist Interest, pride of our city and saint of our maximum cultural and patrimonial expression, "is well above the crier who every year is remembered who initiates the same."
Therefore, the councilors of Municipal Socialist Group will attend the proclamation for respect to our Holy Week, the Lorca brotherhoods and the thousands of people who participate and enjoy our biblical-passionate parades, our processions or our museums and Cultural samples.
However, Mateos announces that they will not attend the later cocktail or wine that has been regularly celebrated at the end of the Preach and this year organized the City of Lorca, not being an act of Holy Week.
The crimes of embezzlement, fraud, falsehood or prevarication for which Pedro Antonio Sánchez is being investigated should not obscure or tarnish the Holy Week of Lorca, or the work of their cofradias, since they are outside the worrying procedural and legal situation Of the President of CARM.
Finally, from the Socialist Group ask for common sense and height of views, so that you do not want to use the Pregón for Holy Week nor for the political exaltation of your crier nor for the carrying out of protests or similar acts against you, in Definitive, cloud the image of our Holy Week.
