ANTI-corruption party Podemos is fighting to make a Catholic cathedral public property.

The party has filed a request with the Aragon government to annul the deeds to the Jaca cathedral as it’s private property.

The 11th century church was registered with the local government in 1998, leaving many Catholics outraged.

“They took an entire cathedral and all the property inside away from us,” the head of Podemos’s Aragon branch, Pablo Ecenique said.

Podemos also asked that another 30 cemeteries and churches registered between 1989 and 2015 in Aragon be ‘given back’.
