The Junts per Reus municipal group has criticized the local government for the sudden closure of the Fortuny Theater this February, citing a serious lack of institutional foresight.

The party led by Teresa Pallarès considers the closure of the iconic cultural venue a symptom of poor management. According to the group, structural deficiencies do not appear overnight, and the sudden shutdown risks Reus' reputation.

"The Fortuny is a city emblem. A situation of this gravity is not improvised; if it had to be closed like this, it is because someone did not do their job."

The decision impacts hundreds of ticket holders and local artistic companies. Junts has demanded the immediate publication of a technical report regarding the building's condition in Baix Camp.
