María José García-Pelayo received the ‘Unamuno, Friend of Protestants Award’ in recognition of her work to promote coexistence and institutional openness towards the Evangelical community in the Spanish city.

The event was attended by Mayor María José García-Pelayo. A “historic milestone”, say the city’s evangelicals.

The evangelical churches in the southern Spanish city brought the Christian message of Christmas to the city in a joint event attended by the authorities.

A discussion on the influence of ideologies on fundamental freedoms in society opened the annual meeting of the Spanish Evangelical Alliance.

The event was attended by around a thousand people, including local authorities of the Spanish city.

In the last months, regional and local authorities have met evangelical representatives in several cities.
