Likewise, members of the platformThey will gather next Monday, starting at 9:30 a.m., in front of Parliament and some of them will attend the Plenary Session, in which it is expected The repeal of the autonomous Historical and Democratic Memory Law will be debated, which is already certain to go ahead with the votes of PP and Vox.
This was reported by the platform’s spokespersons this Tuesday at a press conference, in which They have vindicated the rights of the victims of Francoism. The group considers it necessary to existence of a law that protects themin aspects such as search for bodies that lie abandoned in ditches and mass gravesas well as those who suffered extrajudicial executions, baby theft, concentration camps, enslaved labor, bombings on the defenseless civilian population, illegal expropriation of property, torture or violence about women.
““They want to bury under oblivion the repression exercised by the coup plotters and their accomplices.”
Likewise, he has censored the “historical denialism” of the PP and Vox in the Cantabrian Chamber, who ““They want to bury under oblivion the repression exercised by the coup plotters and their accomplices, as well as by the Franco dictatorship for decades.”which is, in the opinion of the spokespersons, “something incomprehensible in any democratic country”. “They want to cover up what smells bad and they want things to remain as they are”have assessed the representatives of the Platform, who believe that “they are afraid” that they will start talking about the “victimizers” because “maybe surnames are mixed up and theirs, those of some PP leaders, come out.”
CALL TO CITIZENSHIP
From the Platform they have called on citizens to participate in both protests for the repeal of the Cantabrian Democratic Memory Lawwhose fact they consider “contrary” to all UN recommendations and State Law. “No matter how hard you try, you cannot repeal History.”. The truth always comes to the surface, like oil on water,” said the representatives of the group, who have asserted that they will continue to demand and vindicate the rights of the victims of Francoism and the dictatorship.
They ask to expand the state Historical Memory Law and include victims of the transition
In his opinion, the announcement that the central Executive will resort to the Constitutional Court the project of the Government of Cantabria (PP) to suppress the Autonomous Historical Memory legislationis “the least that can be asked of a government that calls itself democratic and progressive.” Furthermore, they believe that the Historical Memory Law at the state levelwhich although it does not “completely convince them” is “a step forward”, it should have been done “earlier and in a more profound way.”
“We ask for more,” said the platform’s spokespersons, who stressed thatThe transition “has not been exemplary or peaceful, there have been hundreds of people killed, many of them by the State Security Forces and Bodies, we cannot forget them”so “there is an institutional responsibility,” they have ruled.
