- The capital of Badajoz adds its support to the project to become European Capital of Culture, as another forty municipalities in the region have already done.
The city of Badajoz has added its support to Cáceres as candidate for European Capital of Culture in 2031. This has been decided unanimously by the Plenary of the City Council of the capital of Badajoz.
Badajoz joins the signing of the manifesto of adhesion to the candidacy, as have already done more than forty municipalities throughout the region, including the main cities of Extremadura: Merida, Plasencia, Don Benito and Villanueva de la Serena.
In total, these supporters already account for 50% of the population of Extremadura. A fact that Iris Jugo, general coordinator of the Cáceres 2031 Consortium, values: “Cáceres 2031 is a project that not only belongs to the city of Cáceres, but extends its network to all the municipalities in the region in a project that is a unique opportunity for the entire community”.
With this adhesion, Cáceres and Badajoz reaffirm their commitment to a joint cultural strategy that seeks to place Extremadura on the European map through innovative initiatives, institutional cooperation and the enhancement of the region’s historical and artistic heritage.
Cáceres 2031 continues working to integrate new cultural agents, associations and local entities in a candidacy that seeks to be a benchmark, inclusive and transformative.
