The Memory of Mallorca and the PSIB take the repeal of the Memory Law to Brussels.
Representatives of the party and the entity have participated in a debate with democratic memory entities from different autonomous communities.
PalmThe PSIB and Memoria de Mallorca have taken the repeal of the Balearic Islands' Democratic Memory Law to Brussels with the intention of including the PP and Vox's desire to eliminate the law on the agenda of European institutions.
Specifically, the Secretary of International Policy of the PSIB-PSOE and MEP, Alícia Homs; the Secretary of New Rights, Cooperation and Migration of the PSIB-PSOE and Member of Parliament, Omar Lamin; and the president of Memoria de Mallorca, Maria Antònia Oliver, participated in a debate with democratic memory organizations from different autonomous communities in defense of memory laws.
Homs highlighted the importance of the memorial organization being able to participate in this event "to denounce the barbarity of the PP in repealing this law and to explain what Prohens is doing by eliminating a regulation so important for citizens and democracy." For her part, Lamin highlighted the importance of "bringing into the European debate the importance of the memory laws that Prohens has sought to sell to the anti-democratic far right, with a PP devoted to extremists and increasingly leaning towards the far right, less democratic and less of a defender of human rights."
Lamin called for a united front of memorial organizations from across the country, also forging alliances with other organizations that defend human rights, to convey this concern. The president of Memoria de Mallorca, Maria Antònia Oliver, recalled that she went to the European Parliament, which was created to prevent non-repetition in the context of the Second World War, "to inform the European Union that the PP, hand in hand with Vox, is trying to overturn a law that was created to prevent repetition." "We cannot allow this, because it represents a re-victimization of the victims of Franco's regime and because it also affects the democratic quality of our society," Oliver stated, also highlighting the exchange of knowledge and experiences with other autonomous communities to try to get Europe involved in defending and maintaining democratic memory laws.
