Seville, (EFE).- The Parliament of Andalusia has once again paid homage to Blas Infante, father of the Andalusian homeland, for the 138th anniversary of his birth, a day of exaltation of his ideas and a gala event with the assistance of the main civil and military authorities in which there has been no lack of some electoral overtones.
Enlivened, piano included, by musicians from the Barenboim Orchestra, who performed music by Isaac Albéniz and the Andalusian anthem, whose lyrics are by Blas Infante, the event began after nine in the morning in the Parliament’s Renaissance Patio, where locates the bust of the father of the country of Andalusia.
On this gala day, the president of the Junta, the president of the Junta, Juanma Moreno, has asked for a commitment from the rest of the groups to defend Andalusia against the partisan interest of 23J. And she has claimed a community that has to be “heard, respected and valued”, and with its “fair claims” attended.
Moreno has taken advantage of the presence of the rest of the parties -with the exception of Vox for the fifth consecutive year- to guarantee that his Executive will not look at “the color of the government resulting” from the elections, but rather its facts: “What is done with Andalusia and not who does it.”
Blas Infante, essence of Andalusia
“The Chamber has dressed up to honor and recognize a man who is the essence of Andalusia, who fought for equality, rights and freedom for all”, the president of Parliament, Jesús Aguirre, defined in his address.
Aguirre linked Infante’s tenacity to the impulse to ensure that Andalusians have their own identity and the feeling of belonging to this land and exposed his vocation for unity to ask the groups to continue “rowing in the same direction, taking steps forward” and continue ” entrusting itself” to the Statute of Autonomy and the Constitution.
The general secretary of the PSOE of Andalusia and president of the parliamentary group, Juan Espadas, has vindicated the Andalusianism of Blas Infante, his humanist policy and his project of “conscience, justice, freedom and equality” ahead of his time and that today – he has remarked – is still in force “and it is more necessary than ever”.
The PP parliamentary spokesman, Toni Martín, has vindicated the “new Andalusianism” that is called to overcome “topics of the past”, has defended that the community is today “a land of moderation, dialogue and respect” and has assured that they will fight against ” the constant attacks and invasion attempts” by “other administrations”.
Ideology of the Andalusian homeland
The one from Por Andalucía, Inma Nieto, has asked that, “in these moments of disturbance”, young people be reminded of the figure of Blas Infante, “shot for perfectly legal ideas at that time”, and has highlighted his figure in front of those who They do not share these acts and before those who want to repeal laws to “restore dignity and memory” to the victims of Francoism.
For Adelante, Maribel Moral, it would be “hypocrisy” not to advance in the ideology of the father of the country or Andalusian “motherland” for whom he fought and was shot after the coup d’état of 1936 and pointed out that renouncing his ideas would be “opportunism” political”.
The vice president of the Blas Infante Foundation, Javier Delmás, highlights that his grandfather “consecrated his life to the liberation of his land” and has asked the Andalusians that their words “discover the way” to make the community “the land of work , culture, justice, peace and freedom” that everyone wants.
The piano of the musicians of the Barenboim Orchestra with the Andalusian anthem ended an act that brought together members of the Andalusian Government, Parliament, the Senate, social agents, town halls and the Government Delegate in Andalusia, Pedro Fernández .EFE
