- The bid for the title of European City of Culture continues to gain support
The High Court of Justice of Extremadura (TSJEx) on Monday supported Cáceres’ bid to be European City of Culture in 2031.
The High Court of Justice of Extremadura (TSJEx) joined on Monday the candidacy of Cáceres to become European Capital of Culture in 2031.
The highest judicial institution in the region thus adds its support to that of various organizations, municipalities, and entities across Extremadura that have already signed the manifesto backing the bid.
“We want the Cáceres 2031 candidacy to be an example of unity for the whole of society in Extremadura, and in that equation the judiciary could not be missing, alongside the executive and legislative powers, which have already endorsed the project,” stated the Mayor of Cáceres and President of the Cáceres 2031 Consortium, Rafael Mateos.
In a meeting with the President of the TSJEx, María Félix Tena, the mayor of Cáceres expressed his gratitude for the involvement in this project, which belongs not only to the city but to the entire region: “This is a transformative project for Extremadura, and it is a source of pride to see the affection and willingness to join us in convincing Europe of our values,” he said.
The Cáceres 2031 candidacy for European Capital of Culture continues to gather support, ideas, and proposals. This Wednesday, its fourth Dialogue with cultural and social stakeholders will take place in Cuacos de Yuste, in the region of La Vera.
