Madrid raises the ban on blasphemering, of the "broken" songs and offending the country and religion

"The portals of the private houses will close at half past ten at night from October 1 to May 1".Thus says a 1948 ordinance that, attention, was still in force until this week because it had not been repealed.The city says goodbye to the 690 articles of Municipal Department of Urban Police and Government of the Villa, which regulated the rules of coexistence.

Logically, almost all its content had been modified with new ordinances to adapt life in the city to modern times, but the norm was still there until this week.

It is not the only municipal regulations that have been repealed in the last plenary, but it is the most striking and the one that shows us some "curious" uses of life in the capital of Spain during those times in which the influence of Francoism andReligion were undeniable.

In total, the Consistory has deactivated 17 standards, some for being disused, such as the one we mentioned;others because they are no longer municipal competence;And others because they dealt with "non -existent" services, such as the Municipal Police Academy of Madrid.

Blasphemy, prohibited

In its article 15, the Ordinance included the obligation of the citizens of "observing the composure and correction of the word and manners required by the high concept of citizenship".In addition, it was pointed out that as inhabitants of the capital, they should be "model" of their compatriots.

Blasphemy was "especially prohibited", just as "offenses to the country, regime, religion, morals and culture" could be exercised ".

In fact, drunkenness and blasphemy have a separate chapter."Every individual who is found on the street or any public place in a state of drunken.

In that same chapter, it is pointed out that "the blasphemus will be sanctioned with a fine or, where appropriate, denounced the court ·.

Goals, by obligation

Reading this ordinance realizes how the life of the Spaniards has changed, because the same norms that existed in the capital, were reproduced in almost the whole country.

For example, says the ordinance that "each inhabited property will have a goal".The goalkeeper or goalkeeper should "help municipal operators in cleaning the sidewalk section of the house" or "preventing fouls of any kind".If those "fouls" were committed, I had the obligation to denounce them.

Prohibited crossing the street during processions

The ordinance distinguishes between religious and "profane" festivities.The first, the cult in the street, only had to be communicated to the deputy mayor of the area;The latter, the non -religious, should be "expressly" authorized by the mayor.

To those who attended religious celebrations, processions, etc.., they were required to save "reverence and respect due".Those who attended the profane, were forbidden.

In the case of processions, interrupt them by crossing ahead was sanctioned, unless it was "a manifest and urgent need" and there would be no other free step.

Neither manteros, nor scooters on the sidewalks nor clothes on the balconies, either then

Although at that time there were no electric scooters that are used today, that ordinance already made it clear that it could not be circulated on the sidewalks with any kind of vehicles, except those that drive "people prevented" or "children".

Dry clothes on the balconies was not allowed at that time, although that custom was extended over time, and nothing could be sold on public roads without the corresponding permission, just like now.

As for the sale of ice cream in summer on the street, it was subject to hygiene conditions, but also to the "decoration and ornament" of the hello cars, which should be "worthy of the capital of Spain".

Nor could roosters and chickens in the city.

The sale of boats, a Madrid classic with "decent" vendors

Anyone who has walked through the Madrid parks will have seen and probably tested the wads, which are sometimes sold at the rhythm of organic music.Well, as an "castizo" element he was regulated to the millimeter.You could only sell in parks and public walks.

In addition, the boatman or boatman had.

Not only that, the boatman (apparently was women's office) should be at all times in a position to be reviewed by the municipal authority.

With the cleaners, more of the same.They could work on the sites indicated for it and carry their corresponding cardboard and sheet.

As soon as the uniform should be the approved model and should be preserved "in due cleaning and cleaning conditions".

The "broken songs", at any time

The noise regulations of 48 set the limit of twelve o'clock to emit sounds that would bother the neighbors.

However, with the screams and songs "broken", the veto is greater.They could not be launched at any time of day or night.Nor were serenades or dances "without permission from authority".

Of the bottles - later uninvent - the ordinance says nothing, but seen what was seen, they would have been hard sanctioned.

And so add and follow up to 690 standards, which can consult in this link, although the standard is already repealed.
