María Saavedra, deputy of the Popular Party for Fuerteventura The regional deputy of the Popular Party for Fuerteventura, María Saavedra, has called on the Government of the Canary Islands to promote a roadmap for the conservation and enhancement of the spaces of democratic memory of the Archipelago, taking as a reference the recent recognition of Tefía as a Place of LGTBIQ+ Democratic Memory. The PP asks the Government of the Canary Islands for a plan to value Tefía’s memory space. According to a press release sent to Radio Sintonía, the parliamentarian conveyed this request during a parliamentary committee, in which she asked the Minister of Universities, Science and Innovation and Culture about the actions planned to preserve these enclaves and guarantee their protection. Saavedra defended that the old Tefía hostel constitutes a space of special relevance for the historical memory of the Canary Islands and assured that its conservation allows us to remember a period marked by the violation of rights based on historical rigor and the commitment that it will not be repeated. Likewise, he highlighted the transformation that the venue has undergone, which currently hosts cultural, training and coexistence activities for different generations. In his opinion, this evolution shows that a space linked to repression can become a place of meeting, participation and respect. The deputy also stressed that preserving Tefía’s memory means recognizing the suffering suffered for decades by the LGTBI+ group and contributing to transmitting to new generations values such as freedom, equality, coexistence and the defense of human rights. Finally, María Saavedra insisted that the conservation of these spaces must be accompanied by concrete actions that allow us to know the degree of execution of democratic memory policies in the Canary Islands.
