2. The news in detail
Puerto del Rosario Town Hall unveiled the «A Proud Capital» mural on Friday, an artistic intervention that becomes a new symbol of freedom, coexistence and diversity in the municipality. The work, by majorera muralist Monono.art, stands on Calle Presidente Juan Negrín, on the very spot where the «Pride 365 days a year» mural was vandalised earlier this year.
Held as part of the Puerto Diverso 2026 agreement, the event brought together institutional representatives, members of ALTIHAY Fuerteventura and local residents in a gathering full of symbolism. With this initiative, the council responds to an act of intolerance by turning the space into a permanent message of respect, equality and visibility for the LGTBIQ+ community.
During the unveiling, speakers recalled that art can become a powerful tool for social transformation and that no act of hatred can erase hard-won rights or the commitment of a community that chooses coexistence. The mural's motto, «A Proud Capital. Hate has no place here, because we sow pride», sums up the spirit of an initiative that turns public space into a place of encounter, memory and advocacy.

«This mural represents far more than an artistic intervention. It is the response of a municipality that does not accept intolerance and defends equality as a non-negotiable value», said Mayor David de Vera. Equality Councillor Tacoremi Gutiérrez added: «Reclaiming this space proves that messages of hate have no place in our municipality».
