Mata also noted that the day was an opportunity for reflection and respect for all political parties. “Let’s refocus our priorities on public service and improving people’s lives”, she said. In addition, four students from San Sebastián School, Johana, Aroa, Julieta and Mía, read selected articles from the Constitution and accompanied the mayoress in raising the flag while the national anthem was performed by the Mijas Municipal Band, which brought the event to a close with popular songs. Afterwards, fritters and hot chocolate were served for everyone.

Political assessments
After the institutional ceremony, the government team underscored the importance of the Magna Carta. Mata said that, “unfortunately, we have a Prime Minister who is in constant confrontation, and we are also seeing this in many leaders of that party. Therefore, today’s reflection is for everyone, for all political groups. We may disagree or agree on certain issues, but in those disagreements we must be patient, treat each other with respect, and exercise the freedom that we all enjoy, because that is what our Constitution guarantees”.
