The offensive against identity seeks to dismantle the historic sculpture, a symbol of Hispanic tradition, to replace El Cid Campeador with a monument to the Muslim monarch al-Mutamid.
The institutional stability of Spain is facing an unprecedented challenge in the face of the advance of political Islam, a phenomenon that security experts describe as the result of a demographic colonization driven by the irresponsible migration policies of successive governments, especially under the current administration Pedro Sánchez's communist. This process has allowed the emergence of formations such as the Andalusian Party, which is based in Algeciras, will participate in the next regional elections with the objective of achieving representation in neighborhoods where the Muslim immigrant population has grown exponentially. Although they barely obtained 327 votes in the 2023 municipal elections (0.77% of the total), their current strategy seeks to dynamite the symbolic pillars of
the Spanish nation.
The focus of this cultural offensive has now focused on Seville, where the formation has launched a proposal that has set off all the alarms: the removal of the statue of El Cid Campeador. The leader Jihad Sarasua, who also chairs the Islamic Community “Ishbilia Mosque”, has led this initiative through social networks with a statement full of contempt for the figure of the Castilian gentleman.
Muslim member of the P.A. proposes to remove the statue of El Cid Campeador shouting “Long live Almutamid”
In the video of the proposal, Sarasua categorically states: “We are going to change the statue of El Cid Campeador for one of Al-Mutamid, the Winner, who is more Sevillian than this man from Teruel. Long live al-Mutamid!” .
It is alarming that, in addition to the attack on tradition, the leader demonstrates profound historical ignorance, since El Cid was born in Burgos and not in Teruel.
The piece that the Andalusian Party intends to eliminate is a fundamental monument of Sevillian heritage located on Avenida del Cid. This is a work by the renowned American artist Anna Hyatt Huntington, which was given to the city on the occasion of the Ibero-American Exhibition of 1929. The sculpture represents the gentleman on his horse Bavieca in a triumphant attitude, a symbol of the Hispanic tradition that the radical left and Islam now intend to replace with the figure of al-Mutamid, the last Muslim king of the Sevillian taifa before his defeat against the
Almoravids. Statue of El Cid Campeador This proposal is not an isolated event, but is based on the ideology of the formation, which mixes Islamic humanism with the thought of Blas Infante, who in 1924 came to visit the tomb of that monarch in Morocco.
While the government of Pedro Sánchez and its partners allow mosques to proliferate without control and demands to multiply to accommodate sharia law in public life, Spain's cultural sovereignty is threatened by political actors who, having been tolerated minorities, are now demanding to enter institutions to transform public space in
their image and likeness.
What is happening today in Seville with the statue of El Cid is only the prelude to a phenomenon that, if not stopped by assimilation policies and border control, will quickly spread to Catalonia, Madrid or Valencia.
