The UN Report and Accusations of ‘Hoaxes’
The Government of Aragon has spoken out about the UN report that questions the legality of its Concordia Plan, calling it ‘hoaxes’. The President of the Government, Javier Lambán, has assured that the report contains ‘lies’ and ‘massive errors’, alleging that no law is being processed in Aragon, but rather a concord plan.
Lack of Information and Political Bias
The Aragonese Government has criticized the lack of information from the UN, accusing the Government of Spain of providing biased and interested information. The Government spokesperson, Mar Vaquero, has stated that the report contains ‘serious errors’ intentionally caused by the central Government.
The Concordia Plan: A Step Back?
The Aragon Concord Plan aims to replace the repealed Democratic Memory Law, approved in 2018. The Government of Spain, however, has initiated legal action against attempts to go back in terms of historical memory, considering them a breach of the rights of the victims of the Civil War and Francoism.
The Compromise of the Rights
The repeal of historical memory laws has been a key commitment of the right in its government agreements. They intend to replace them with ‘concord’ laws, a step that the central government is fighting in the courts and before international organizations such as the UN.
The Future of the Concordia Plan
The Government of Aragon has expressed its willingness to collaborate with the UN to clarify doubts about its Concord Plan. However, the central government continues its legal offensive against the setbacks in terms of historical memory, calling into question the viability of the Aragonese plan.
Concord and Historical Memory
The controversy surrounding the Aragon Concord Plan highlights the tension between the need for concord and the duty to remember and repair the wounds of the past. The debate continues, with the central government defending historical memory and the right advocating a more conciliatory approach.
