Concepción Feminist Mural

[3][4] The proposal, which was approved on 21 January 2021 by the Partido Popular and Ciudadanos, who have been governing in coalition since 2019 in the Madrid City Council thanks to the support of Vox, included the replacement of the mural "with one dedicated to sportsmen and sportswomen and which does not contain any political message, only a sporting one".

At the beginning of 2021, the Carabanchel Municipal District Council debated the removal of the mural in homage to the 15-M movement in the Plaza de Oporto, although in this case the proposal did not succeed due to the abstention of Ciudadanos.

[10] The attempted removal was covered by the international press, such as the British newspaper The Guardian, which called it a "cultural war",[11] and was also criticised by Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez.

[12] Finally, on 26 January, the eight councillors of the Ciudadanos municipal group supported an emergency motion presented by Más Madrid to preserve the feminist mural.

A replica has been made in a secondary school in Puente Genil (Córdoba),[19] another in Alcalá de Henares (commissioned by the local council) and another in Getafe Central Station.
