GUADALAJARA.- The Guadalajara City Council, governed in coalition by the Popular Party and Vox, denies the abandonment of Antonio Buero Vallejo’s funds, ensuring that the cataloging of them has not been completed and that they were transferred to the Palacio de la Cotilla last Thursday , after a first classification, waiting for them to occupy a space in the room dedicated to the playwright, “being faithful to the layout he had in the office.”
This has been pointed out by the Councilor for Culture, Javier Toquerofrom the extreme right-wing formation, for whom the storage of these funds donated to the city in twenty boxes stacked in a storage room full of humidity, along with toilet paper and other piled-up objects, It is part of the “normal procedure” to be carried out with any asset that is incorporated into the municipal fund.
The mayor has thus defended the treatment that these funds are receiving, made up of nearly 2,000 documents, books and objects that belonged to the 1986 Cervantes Prize, and considers that the complaint made by the Municipal Socialist Group and that of Aike – a municipalist formation – regarding their situation, it is nothing more than an attempt to “tarnish the work carried out by the council, with the sole purpose of criticizing and obtaining political gain”.
Toquero explained that “a first classification” of the collection has been carried out and that those specimens that are going to occupy a space in the Buero Vallejo room have been transferred to the Palacio de la Cotilla. “We are left with that last task, which is placing the copies in the office, or locating them in another space where they can be known or consulted at a certain time”, for which – he specified – “a topographical list is needed which is already being worked on”.
“THEY HAD TO BE PLACED ALREADY”
A space to which he has also referred, in statements to The Dean of Guadalajara, the playwright’s son, Carlos Buerowho explains that the original idea was to place the books that were in his father’s office in the space recreated in the Buero de la Cotilla Museum. Most were art bookshe remembers, but since there were more in the house, he decided that “the right thing” was to donate the entire collection, as it turned out to be “the perfect complement to the collection of paintings by my father that is in La Cotilla.”
Fund donated to the Guadalajara City Council consisting of more than 2,000 copies, including books and pamphlets, mainly of art, but also other topics such as various dictionaries and grammars.
Carlos Buero regrets the state of the fund in Guadalajara, which shows that “our so-called ‘political class’ is not up to the task,” since since the donation was proposed It’s been almost three yearsso “those books should have been in place for a long time.”
Along these lines, the playwright’s son points out that along with the part of the collection that was going to be installed in La Cotilla, it was also planned that a part would remain in the municipal Library.
