Vandalism to the Monument to the Deported Cartagena (09/09/2020)

| For the Historical Memory of Cartagena .: "In the face of vandalism and ignorance, let us encourage the truth, knowledge of history, education, dignity, respect for difference, to tolerance "| "In short, to the values ??that give credibility to freedom and democracy"Why so afraid of memory? Why such a great fear of the truth?The act of vandalism carried out against the monument that the City Council erected in Cartagena in memory of the Cartagena people deported to the Nazi concentration camps shows us how profoundly the ideology that was expressly condemned in the last plenary session remains rooted in many minds.

municipal last August.

Curiously, a week after the approval of the motion by which this council repudiates totalitarian ideologies, and at the same time that the central government announces that it will bring the new Democratic Memory Law to Congress, the swastika appears on a graffiti against "Jews "and against the" reds ".The monument that contains the list of Cartagena republicans who suffered imprisonment and death in the Nazi camps for having demonstrated their courage in the fight on European soil against that totalitarian regime that was about to seize the destinies of the continent has been treacherously desecrated for those who deny the truth, for those who oppose freedom, for those who encourage and justify them with their complicit silence, for those who align themselves in the ranks of the most retrograde part of our society and would like it to regress, for us to return to Past times, those times when barbarism reigned, the law of force, the foot of the powerful on the neck of the subjugated people, the elimination of the weak, the elimination of freedoms, and with it, the destruction of the society.That is why we repudiate and condemn this action, because our role as democrats is in the defense of Democracy and Freedom and the condemnation of totalitarianism.Let's defend Democracy.Let's defend Freedom.Let's defend Respect and Tolerance.
