The decision was made during a plenary session on Thursday, May 28th, which also unanimously approved a PSOE amendment to rename the Profesor Juan Carlos Aragón school to Adela del Moral, a Carnival singer and former director of the center with an extensive educational career.

The Mayor of Cádiz, Bruno García (PP), defended his government's actions, stating they "reacted by placing the victim's defense above any other matter" upon learning of the case. He questioned the previous government of Adelante Cádiz, led by José María González, suggesting they "knew about it and covered it up."

García based his arguments on a letter from former councilwoman Laura Jiménez of Adelante, who claimed the previous government was aware of the issue and advised against commenting to avoid public backlash. The mayor emphasized the importance of "standing by the victim."

The Councilor for Festivals, Beatriz Gandullo, reviewed the events and criticized the Adelante Izquierda Gaditana group for their prior inaction, also referencing the ex-councilwoman's letter. She stated the current government "does not want to look away" and hopes the opposition "will not either," urging that "Cádiz must not remain silent in the face of a victim's suffering."

For their part, the spokesperson for Adelante Izquierda Gaditana, David de la Cruz, denied having access to the ruling before Saturday and asserted their reaction was "clear" in supporting the suspension of the tribute. He acknowledged "mistakes" and the "obligation to repair" the damage to the victim.

The motion, which passed unanimously (with Adelante abstaining on the point regarding accountability for the previous government), received support from the PSOE. Socialist councilman Óscar Torres highlighted the need for a "radical stance against gender-based violence" and "support for the victim."
