The Minister of Culture and Sports, Miquel Iceta, has rated as a “catheda” and “nonsense” the refusal to install a sculpture of Don Quixote in Barcelona since Cervantes is an “incredible” heritage of all Spaniards and particularly of the people of Barcelona since Don Quixote is one of the cities “that comes off the best stop”.
The minister has presided this Monday together with the president of Castilla-La Mancha, Emiliano García-Page, in the Toledo Museum of Santa Cruz the first meeting of the Author’s Fashion table, and questions from journalists have referred to the rejection of the initiative of Ciudadanos in the Barcelona City Council to install a sculpture of Don Quixote in Barceloneta.

“Cervantes is an incredible heritage for all Spaniards but, particularly, for Barcelonans: if you read Don Quixote you will see that one of the cities that comes out the best, towards which Cervantes expresses a special sympathy, is Barcelona. And, therefore, it seems to us, with forgiveness, a cathetee “, the minister has said. He has defended that Don Quixote is “such an inclusive work, such a backbone of Spain” and has said that his “real and imaginary journey represents us better than any other work”.
“That a city nothing less than Barcelona, its council, does not agree to celebrate the figure of Cervantes seems really incredible, a nonsense,” he said.
