The Administrative Court number 1 of Teruel, has ratified the precautionary measures requested by Christian lawyers and has paralyzed the demolition of the Cross of Albarracín (Teruel) that the PP government was going to execute in Aragon.
Everything points to what happily La Cruz de Albarracín It will remain crowning the unique place of this rock framed in the Sierra Turolense and that the Aragon government will opt in the end to repair the cross, as Okdiario has been able to know. The City Council can file an appeal before the Court within fifteen days of its notification.
La Cruz de Albarracín
At the end of last March, Christian lawyers requested precautionary measures to stop the demolition ordered by the Government of the PP of Aragon and the Bezas City Councilbefore what they argued to be “an irreparable damage to heritage and symbol”, with the aim of guaranteeing the permanence of the cross symbol replacing it by another, in case it finally had to be demolished “for security.”
However, before such a stir raised nationwide for the future of this imposing Cruz, the Minister of Environment, Manuel Blascohad to intervene to silence the controversy that had raised the technical report of the Provincial Department of Teruel, which ordered the demolition of the cross for “environmental risks”, given that the technician Emilio Pérez He argued that, after suffering the discharge of lightning this September, the cross had been destroyed “a corner of the upper end.”
The popular Instead of proposing other options, such as repairing the cross, to avoid the «Environmental risk“That they wielded, determined” proceed to the demolition of the cross and its base “, either by their own or hired means, as stated in the report they sent to the City of Bezas to which Okdiario had access.
However, after the pressure received by public opinion and after granting the Teruel Court the precautionary measures to Christian lawyers, the counselor expressed in an interview in Aragón Televisión two weeks ago, which «The reasonable thing is that it is fixed», Referring to the cross three meters high along with its pedestal.
An intention that was also confirmed from the department to Okdiario, in order to preserve this beautiful Aragonese place and the cross that has been part of it since 1939, when the civil war was completed just, and which gave name to the rock, and that would now be in coherence with the policies carried out in the Ministry, for example, in the General Directorate of Tourism, with respect to Aragon with soulan autonomous project that seeks to boost and preserve a multitude of unique places with relevance in the Aragonese Catholic world.
They demonstrate the deconed cross since years
As we say, citizen collaboration has been fundamental to stop the demolition of this cross in Albarracín that leads chipped At least 35 yearsas demonstrated by the images recorded decades of the place.
This is evidenced by the video to which OKDIARIO had access, recorded in 1988 by a neighbor of the town of Bezas (Teruel) Who is one of the locality people who considers to demolish the cross, as ordered by the PP government in Aragon, was “an affront to the Catholic religion.”
This 55 -year -old bezo recorded, In the 80s of the last centuryseveral reports of the town of Bezas to record in the future of its heritage and customs. So much so that years later, this particular video has become an irrefutable evidence before the judges that the cusp of the cross had been broken for decades, and not only a bit, as it lets the report of the Provincial Directorate of Environment of Teruel understand.
In fact, the report issued by the PP Government in Aragon to demolish the cross had to recognize that the monument, in its dominant position, was “somewhat chopped” as a result of “having been able to suffer any previous impact”, although this casuistry revealed by the neighbors was not specified and that has put in evidence that the ray had not destroyed the cross last September.
