The lawyer of the City Council of Villanueva de Sijena (Huesca), Jorge Español, filed before the courts of Barcelona a request for an act of conciliation with the director of the National Museum of Art of Catalonia (MNAC), Pepe Serra, for alleged insults expressed in statements regarding the execution of the sentence on the murals, but at the same time demands his resignation.
In his brief before the Reparto Court of First Instance in Barcelona, the lawyer denounces the “very serious” statements made by Serra this month to the media in the sense that Sijena’s lawyer should consult the doctor, with reference to a psychiatrist, for having requested the suspension of a Rosalía concert at the MNAC due to the risk of damaging the paintings or for having proposed sawing the paintings for their transfer.
“This lawyer, even if he very responsibly requested the suspension of the Rosalía concert because of the damage that the vibrations of the sound waves could cause to the fragile canvases of the murals due to the many watts that were going to be used, nevertheless never spoke, even remotely, of sawing the paintings into 70 pieces,” he states in his brief requesting an act of conciliation.
He believes that the “mockery” to which he was subjected should be punished criminally by imposing compensation of 90.00 euros for moral damage from the director of the MNAC.
On the other hand, Español suggests that, given that the MNAC has assumed the code of ethics of the International Council of Museums (ICOM), which establishes that the director of a museum must observe “impeccable conduct” at all times, Serra should resign “irrevocably” to be consistent with these arguments. .
