Holy Wednesday Afternoon. Threatening rain in Malaga and size of Nuestro Padre Jesus Nazareno, entitled The Rich, just pardon a prisoner sentenced to three years in prison, following a tradition established by Charles III. The event was attended, among others, the government delegate in Andalusia, Luis Garcia Garrido, the Bishop of Málaga, Jesús Esteban Catalá Ibáñez, the mayor, Francisco de la Torre (PP) as well as several representatives of Corrections and the National Police.
The prisoner, punished for offenses against public health, had won the third-degree days before receiving a pardon passed in the Council of Ministers on 8 April. In it, also adopted other pardons, for at least a dozen Catholic brotherhoods, for centuries, maintained the privilege of rescue from prison in a prisoner Easter.
On Thursday, the mayor of Malaga also attended the arrival of hundreds of sailors, who for decades taken out in procession to the Cristo de la Buena Muerte, pattern the Legion. Last year, the defense minister, Carme Chacon, tried to put a stop to this tradition, with little success.
The presence of public authorities in the Catholic rites is a constant that is transmitted throughout the country and has its climax in Holy Week. Full municipal corporations, mayors, Forces of State Security and the Army to "mobilize" to honor Christ and the Virgin sizes, ignoring the essential and clear separation of church and state should set up a real state layman. The burden of the Catholic tradition is still too heavy, especially in these days when Catholics commemorate the death and resurrection of Christ.

89 English cities
have military presence
In this tradition there is no party flags. Izquierda Unida only issue in his day did not participate in these events confessional, but in places like Córdoba all communist rulers left behind the steps religiously. In Sevilla, this Palm Sunday was the last in which the Socialist mayor, Alfredo Sánchez Monteseirín presided moved the canopy of the Virgen de la Hiniesta, one of the few of the Week Santa Seville that has been boiled. Juan Alberto Belloch (PSOE), mayor of Zaragoza, is scheduled to go on Friday procession of the Santo Entierro.
Similar situations are experienced in almost all provincial capitals, from Pamplona (with all the municipal corporation participating in the procession of the Five Wounds) to A Coruña, through Leon, Cuenca, Valladolid or Granada .
Armed Forces
of political participation in religious activities was in its day, hardly answered from the ranks of the PSOE. Especially during Zapatero's first term. In 2008, a report entitled Alternatives Foundation Secularism, religious expression and public institutions made by the now general director of Religious Affairs, José María Contreras, and Professor of Ecclesiastical Law, Oscar Celador, consider drawing up a law on regulating the religious neutrality of public officials participate in religious ceremonies.

and Zaragoza have chaired
Catholic acts
The Religious Freedom Act parked pointed out, following this report, that the presence of mayors, councilmen, presidents of communities or Government delegates to religious acts of confession that they were, could only be "individually and voluntarily" and not as any representation of the public institution they served. Similarly, it was proposed, according to military regulations, that the presence of members of the Armed Forces and the Forces and State Security was not required.
The thesis is that the processions are public, but not state, so they do not understand the presence of a municipal corporation fully responsible for the Police, Civil Guard, Army or other privileges the pardoning of prisoners or the titles of "mayor perpetual" who still have some Catholic images. A proposal that does not take place this term and that, in practice, it seems paid to fail.
Linking religion with the Army and comes from old railroad tie remains, as demonstrated by removing negative images of the Virgin of barracks or military obligation to participate in rituals such as the renewal of vows at the Villa or the Easter processions. This year, 89 Catholic marches military presence there, wearing their official dress. Army members attend religious services at 120 locations in 67 reports Servimedia.

Last year, after a little controversy over the legionary presence in Malaga, the defense minister, Carme Chacon, said: "The presence of the armed forces during Holy Week Malaga and other parts of Spain has been producing a perfectly normal and we want to remain so in the future. "
Honors According to the Regulation of Armed Forces members, "when approving commissions, guards or pickets to attend religious ceremonies with traditional military participation, will be respected exercise the right to religious freedom and, therefore, assistance will be voluntary acts. "However, this is not true. In practice, the presence is voluntary, while ensuring the participation of the regiment in the act religious.
