The Federico García Lorca Cultural Board has been headless for almost two years. The previous director, announced in July 2022, did not ultimately take the position due to administrative problems.

A year later, after the municipal elections of May 2023, the Provincial Council passed into the hands of the PP. The selection process that has caused the stir these days was opened on October 27, 2023 with the aim of providing a “freely appointed” position, not following the code of good practices that many institutions have adopted.
