The initiative, promoted by several parliamentary groups, questions the decision of the Ministry of Territorial Policy to grant the building, located at number 43 of the street, the status of a memorial site without ceasing its police activity. The signatories consider that the current presence of security forces is incompatible with the reparation of victims and the visibility of human rights violations that occurred during the dictatorship and the Transition.
The text proposes the restitution of the building's ownership to the Generalitat de Catalunya, lost in 1939, and the transfer of documentary funds related to detained persons. The ultimate goal is to create a National Center for the Interpretation of Political Repression and Torture that guarantees access to information and the preservation of historical memory.
Despite the approval of the declaration, it will not be read in the plenary session as it did not reach the necessary two-thirds support, due to the abstention of the PSC. This position has generated criticism from other political groups, who point to the continuity of police activity as an obstacle to the resignification of the space.
