Casares pays tribute to Manuel José García Caparrós with a day of remembrance this December 4th

The Casares City Council and the Manuel José García Caparrós Association are organizing a memorial event this Thursday, December 4, dedicated to the young trade unionist from Malaga who was murdered in 1977 during the mobilizations for Andalusian autonomy. The event will take place at 6:30 PM in the Plenary Hall and will feature participation from the honoree's sisters: Dolores, Francisca, and Purificación García Caparrós, and a speech by Manu Sánchez, a comedian, broadcaster, and staunch defender of Andalusian identity and culture, who will participate in the event. The day will also include a poetic-musical recital by Lucía Sócam alongside the poet Juan José Téllez, as well as greetings from Salva Reina, Jesús Bienvenido, and Chaparro de Califato 3/4. During the tribute, the family of the painter Manuel Garvayo will present the City Council with a reproduction of the work "His Last Fight (to García Caparrós)", created in memory of the young trade unionist. The Casares City Council, which keeps the original ID of Manuel José in the Birth House of Blas Infante as a symbol of historical Andalusianism, reaffirms with this act its commitment to the democratic memory of Andalusia. The City Council invites the public to participate in this day of recognition and dignification of the legacy of García Caparrós.
