on a day like today, a year ago, newly released the head of THE SPANISH, we titled our roar as well: “The best National Holiday, the Constitution.” Go ahead, therefore, that we are not suspicious of idolizing the Day of the Hispanidad.
we Argued then, that there are two dates so close together in the calendar as the October 12 and December 6, which comes to commemorate the same -the unity and the patriotic Spanish – it seemed appropriate to concentrate its symbolic load in one of them. We’d leave that decision in the hands of politicians, but we decantábamos by the Day of the Constitution, because it extols the standard slogan of our rights, freedoms and obligations, which makes us citizens and equals.
SMEAR THE 12-O
There is a movement that tries to discredit the Fiesta de la Hispanidad. It is not new, but in recent times has gained space encouraged by the revisionism of the politically correct, if not by those who feel aversion to Spain, and has counted with the fuel of the ignorance of many. Thus we have seen how some of the so-called “councils for change” and other color nationalist have unchecked the celebration motejándola of “franco” and making sure that’s supposed to celebrate a genocide. Badalona, ruled by Guanyem, has come to abolish the day as holiday.
it must Not be a bad date the of the Discovery when for all the historiography of international marks the beginning of the Modern Age. The present Columbus as a genocidal does not deserve many comments. Would be like calling nazi to Gutenberg because his invention served to print the Mein Kampf.
PASO DEL REY
it Is comforting, however, that in the heat of this date, Felipe VI, has recovered the initiative to unblock the political situation. On the eve of the feast, just before meeting with all the protagonists, and giving him a pageantry especially in the first act regio which takes place in the Palace of Aranjuez in twelve years, has established a round of queries, forcing the PSOE to be defined in time for the investiture. Before the 31st day, except surprise, Spain will aim government.
In the chapter negative of this 12 of October are the absences. To the usual of the presidents of Catalonia and the Basque Country, we must add that of the president of Navarra, Uxue Barkos, by sinrazones similar, and also a little bit justifiable of Ximo Puig and Feijóo. The valencian has gone to Cuba on a trade mission -as if there were no more dates on the calendar – and the orensano has alleged personal reasons to justify their absence, in what was interpreted as a maneuver to not detract prominence to Rajoy, once it has been erected in its great alternative after the brilliant victory in the elections in galicia.
the significance of The Columbus Day would be the contest of the main authorities of the country. Not this year, all of them. Since then, we do not believe that you have to ask for forgiveness for having discovered America.
Editorial in this October 12 in the journal of The Spanish
“I humbly Ask forgiveness, not only for the offenses of the Church itself, but for the crimes against the native peoples during the so-called conquest of America.” During a meeting with popular movements all over the world in Santa Cruz de la Sierra (Bolivia), Jorge Mario Bergoglio called for “land, roof and work” for all: “Are sacred rights. There is a struggle for them. That the cry of the excluded is heard in Latin america and in all the Earth.”
For almost an hour, the Pope listened to the testimonies of the groups excluded (indigenous people, cartoneros, precarious workers of the rural world and the peripheries of the cities) from all over the world. Also a power-allegation of the president of Bolivia, Evo Morales, against the colonialisms past -”in 1492 we suffer an invasion of european and Spanish”- and contemporaries. But, in a forum dedicated to rail against the injustices, who was more belligerent was the pope of Rome: “When the capital becomes an idol and directs the choices of the human beings, when the greed for money, guardianship the entire socio-economic system, ruin the society, condemns man, becomes a slave, it destroys the fraternity among human beings, faces, people against people, and, as we see, even puts at risk this our common home”.
Francis in his visit to Bolivia in 2015.
