The CUP party will present a motion at the next Tortosa city council meeting to restart the removal of the Francoist monument from the Ebro river, following recent Supreme Court decisions.

The motion urges the Generalitat of Catalonia to ask the courts in Tarragona to lift the current injunctions. This follows the dismissal of appeals by far-right groups that had previously blocked the declassification and removal of the monolith.
The proposal also demands the updating of technical projects, budget allocation, and a clear execution schedule. CUP is calling for a meeting between local authorities and the Commission for the removal of Francoist symbols to ensure the process moves forward without further delays.
