The first nativity scene in the history of the European Parliament will be from the Region of Murcia

The Nativity, the work of Jesús Griñán, recreates a Bethlehem portal with the Holy Family, the Three Wise Men, the architectural remains of a Murcian Baroque church and the Murcia Cathedral

López Miras will attend its inauguration on November 30 as part of his work agenda in Brussels where he will speak in plenary session of the Committee of the Regions and will meet with the European Commissioner for Agriculture

The European Parliament will have a traditional Murcian nativity scene made by Jesús Griñán's workshop, thus becoming the first birth in the history of the European Parliament. The president of the Community, Fernando López Miras, will attend the inauguration on November 30 at the headquarters of this European institution created in 1952, coinciding with its institutional agenda in Brussels.

In order to select the origin of the nativity scene, and despite the fact that another origin could have been chosen, the Parliament has taken into account the great tradition of nativity scene crafts in the Region, which is valued as a national and international benchmark for quality and detail of his pieces.

This historic facility has had the endorsement of the President of the European Parliament, Roberta Metsola from Malta, and the regional government's goal is to maintain it in the future, as a consolidated tradition. Thus, in terms of decoration typical of these dates, the headquarters of the European Parliament has only had a Christmas tree up to now.

Regarding the choice of a nativity scene made by Jesús Griñán, this nativity scene master from the Murcian district of Puente Tocinos is one of the great references in the sector, with numerous awards. He began as an apprentice in 1952, and since then he has exhibited his works in countries such as the United States, Japan and France. The work chosen for the European Parliament is two meters high and recreates a Bethlehem portal with the Holy Family and the Three Wise Men, as well as the architectural remains of a traditional Murcian Baroque church and the Murcia Cathedral.

Work schedule in Brussels

In addition to the inauguration of this nativity scene in the European Parliament, President Fernando López Miras will also have an intense work schedule in Brussels where, among other issues, he will speak at the plenary session of the European Committee of the Regions.

Likewise, he will meet with the permanent representative ambassador of Spain to the European Union, Marcos Alonso, and will hold a meeting with the Spanish delegation of the Committee of the Regions.

López Miras's institutional agenda in Brussels also highlights the meeting he will hold with the European Commissioner for Agriculture, Janusz Wojciechowski, where he will be able to address the situation of the sector in Spain and the Region of Murcia, as well as the different actions that the European Union is taking place in this matter.
