In the last Plenary Meeting of the Almuñécar Town Council it was unanimously agreed to make Jesus Christ a perpetual councillor on the council.
This means that Christ will receive a mayor’s baton and the corresponding medallion. As it was unanimous, it means the far-left party also voted in favour.
The idea was put before the council by the leader of a Semana-Santa brotherhood, the Very Old, Illustrious and Venerable, Guillermo Montes Alabarce, backed by 1,600 signatures in favour.
Sr. Montes Alabarce pointed out that 2022 will be the 75th anniversary of the founding of the brotherhood.
Editorial comment: I’m sorry, but that is absolutely ridiculous. We are in the middle of a pandemic, which now appears to be taking a down turn, and the Town Council could think of nothing better to do with their time (paid for by taxpayers) than making a mystical being into an invisible mayor… and equipping this intangible entity with a baton. Why not make Father Christmas the Vice Mayor and Tinker Bell the Chief of Police, whilst they’re at it?

Paul: you can bet your mother-in-law’s Sunday-best dentures that had they proposed to make Mohamed the Perpetual, Vice Mayor or Thor the Perpetual Chief of Police, the ruling party would have thrown an Olympic-level, epileptic fit in Technicolor. It was bad enough when the Mayor decided to change Calle Cuesta de la Iglesia (Church Hill Street) into Calle Jesus El Nazareno.
I am a baptised Christian and I find this action distasteful, nasty and discriminatory. What about other religious leaders of other faiths? Has the council openly shown its biggotted ignorant colors? This comment isnt about wokeism just plain old common sense thinking
Bill: Nope! No Holy Innocents in sight!
I had to check to see that it wasn’t the 28th December! Unless your diary is wrong!
Martin: That’s right. Probably it’s the usual business, he’s related to someone in the town hall. Maybe Trini is his mother ! ?Someone should start investigating this. 😅
Oliver: the thing is… I don’t remember seeing Sr. Jesus Cristo on the voting forms during the last municipal elections…
I assumed that there is a salary starting now. But a back payment wouldn’t be right, as he didn’t do anything at all for the town.
😜
Oliver: Well, perpetuality does extend in both directions, not just into the future…
Did they say something about the salary ? I hope he isn’t entitled to 2022 years of back payment.
