The religious brotherhoods in Córdoba have now decided against wearing a white tie or ribbon during the upcoming Semana Santa processions and celebrations.
The wearing of a ‘white tie’ was being considered by the various brotherhoods in Andalucía as a protest against proposed changes to the abortion laws.
However, the brotherhoods want to avoid anything which detracts from the solemnity of the occasion and fear that any action could be seized upon or manipulated by external forces.
