'Ramon de Carranza’Has the days counted in terms of naming the stadium in which he plays Cadiz, but neither will the last name of the one who once became mayor of the city will remain. “Leave 'Carranza“It's as if in Germany they wanted to put 'Hitler' on a stadium, without Adolf,” he said this Friday. Martin Vila, Councilor for Democratic Memory at the Cádiz City Council.

It is expected that a vote will be held shortly to choose what has to be the new name of the venue, but for the moment it is delayed. Some of those who have sounded the most as candidates for it are ‘The Silver Cup’, as the stadium is already known colloquially, ‘City of Cádiz’ and ‘Bay of Cádiz’.

The reason why Cádiz City Council The decision to change the nomenclature is none other than the fact that 'Ramón de Carranza' breaches the law of historical memory, pointing out from the consistory that he “participated in the 1936 Coup d'état and, after that, acceded to the Mayor's Office of the city, participating in the repression of people from Cádiz with sympathy for the Popular Front or affiliated with organizations related to the legitimate government of the Second Republic ”.
