City is becoming a ‘victim of its own success’, warns Brussels lobby

Saturday’s march against the terror attacks is the latest demonstration in a long tradition of public dissent taken on to the city’s streets

Catalan president, Carles Puigdemont and the Kings of Spain, among the attendees

On the 80th anniversary of the Guernica Bombing, Spain’s denial of historical justice or reparation of its civil war victims was the focus of a conference at the European Parliament. NGO’s, relatives of Spanish Civil War victims and the Francoist dictatorship, and MEPs called on the European Parliament to help promote “truth, justice, and reparation”. Roger Heredia, co-founder of the DNA bank for civil war victim identification in Catalonia said that “the Spanish State systematically violates human rights” and insisted on the necessity of raising awareness among the European MPs about how Spain ignores reports from both the Human Rights Council and the UN-Group on Enforced or Involuntary Disappearances.
