The Popular Party of Colmenar Viejo has expressed its dissatisfaction with the absence of representatives from Más Madrid and Ganemos Colmenar at the municipality's Holy Week events, questioning their institutional commitment to these traditions.

The popular formation has pointed out that Holy Week in Colmenar Viejo is a fundamental pillar of the local cultural, historical, and social life. They argue that its relevance transcends religious beliefs, forming part of the collective heritage of the citizens.
From the PP's perspective, the lack of participation by these political groups in the celebrations indicates a disconnection from a significant part of the local social reality and a lack of involvement with a deeply rooted tradition in the municipality.

"Holy Week has a cultural and festive dimension that goes beyond the religious sphere. These celebrations are part of the local identity, and institutional representation must address that reality."

Carlos Blázquez · President of the Popular Party of Colmenar Viejo
The Popular Party has affirmed that its councilors have been present at all activities organized during Holy Week, from Palm Sunday to Easter Sunday, accompanying brotherhoods and residents. Furthermore, they have raised questions about how these formations would act if they assumed governmental responsibilities regarding support for these traditions.
The PP insists on the importance of an active institutional presence during Holy Week in Colmenar Viejo, defending that these celebrations require public support for their continuity and development. They believe that participation in these events is part of the responsibility of public representatives and that their absence has implications for their relationship with the citizenry.
