Press Release May 12, 2020

COMMUNICATION 12/05/2020
Video of agglomeration at the door of the Mosque of Seville

Today a video has surfaced on social networks accusing this entity of not observing the law and lack of civility, to which we would like to respond briefly:

1. The Seville Mosque Foundation canceled the activities of more affluence on March 12, even before the announcement of the state of Alarm. (Press release March 12).
2. On March 14 the communiqué was updated and closed for all activity. (Announcement March 14).
3. As of today, May 12, the Mosque remains closed and will remain so until further notice, for prudence and civility.
4. The images taken are of the distribution of food for the most disadvantaged families, which, regardless of their religion or nationality, has been taking place since Friday, April 24.
5. This distribution is carried out from the door of the Mosque, without allowing access to anyone except volunteers. And of which the relevant authorities are duly informed.
6. Expressed the above, which is opportunistically obviated in the messages disseminated by the networks; it is true that on Friday, May 8, at the beginning of the distribution of food for 160 families, we were overwhelmed by the agglomeration and it cost us a few minutes to bring order and the established distancing. For this, from the Seville Mosque Foundation we apologize and we will try not to happen again, for which we have also asked the authorities for support from the local police, as is done at all points of food distribution in Seville.
