Political parties, representing the Corporation, and people knowledgeable about the history and culture of Arrecife will seek new names for some of the streets of the capital. The decision is due, on the one hand, to the Historical Memory Law and, on the other, to the "intention to preserve the common denomination of certain roads".
The Department of the Arrecife City Council, coordinated by María Dolores Rodríguez, will create a commission for this purpose in which the new denominations will be debated and chosen.
The Historical Memory Law contemplates "measures in relation to commemorative symbols and monuments with the Civil War and the Dictatorship, based on the principle of avoiding any exaltation of the military uprising, the Civil War and the repression of the Dictatorship".
In this sense, the streets and buildings of many cities in Spain have already begun to change their names, as is the case of the Generalísimo Franco Public School, which in March of last year was renamed La Destila, by approval of the Arrecife City Council plenary session.
