The Memory and Democracy Platform has announced that it is putting an “end to the activity for which it was born” in the fall of 2023. In a manifesto, it assures that its appearance was the result of the “response of civil society to the, then more than possible, and today certain, materialization of the threat of repeal of the Democratic Memory Law of Cantabria launched by the Popular Party”, which currently holds the Government of the region, “and his “de facto” partner, the far-right Vox”.
“No problem, given their uniformity and ideological germ, have both political formations had in rushing to announce and, subsequently, eliminate the aforementioned law,” states the Platform, which through the manifesto announces that, “by agreement of an immense majority of its members, individually or integrated into the various Memory groups and associations that have been working in Cantabria for years,” he agreed, “once the embarrassing repeal of the Cantabria Memory Law“, end their activity, which “was none other than opposing the aforementioned revocation with the democratic and pedagogical means at their disposal.”
OUTRAGEOUS DOUBLE STANDARD
The Platform has criticized PP and Vox for what they consider the use of “an outrageous double standard” throughout this “lengthy process” and, as a consequence, “in lies and shameless concealment of true motivations to whitewash their affinities with the Franco dictatorship and thus deprive Cantabrian society of an exemplary and healing democratic instrument that would serve to heal the wounds that a turbulent 20th century inserted in our country.
In this sense, he has assured that “an infinite number of forgotten people, who They worked for the advancement of democracy in Spain and they paid with their lives, with exile or with their freedom, they do not have any gratitude for it.”
BUNKERIZED IDEOLOGY
“We knew in advance that, given the strength of the numbers in the Cantabrian Parliament and the bunkerized ideology dominant in it, the company seemed very complicated,” the Platform has acknowledged, which despite this considers that “most of the objectives have been met “that the Platform was raised in its beginnings and the debate in our society, regardless of who it may be, is open.”
“The different entities, associations and groups that made it up have been working for many years and disseminating their proposals in the interests of truth, justice and reparation. And now, for such a flimsy reason, they are not going to stop,” he emphasizes, adding that from these groups, “the hiders have no doubt, all political parties with democratic dignity will be urged to exercise the appropriate measures to establish the necessary legal and institutional frameworkboth at the state and European level, that welcomes the neglected victims and definitively excludes fallacies”.
