* 1
It promised much the manifestation Last Saturday 24 October in Aguere . And certainly not disappoint. It took several days to write this article because I was gathering information and thinking how she would approach this article. These days, readers and readers of this humble blog, has been much talk of independence, much of what has been talk for several years, at least in the Mass Media.
The number of people attending the march, vary according to the sources, the organizers talking about 16,000, of 2,500 local police and the English Police 600 attendees. Finally, participants are estimated at about 3,000, assuming one of the most mass in recent years in the city of Tenerife. It was at a peaceful demonstration, which was chanted slogans like "not sold Canary, Canary Islands defends" , "Viva Gran Canaria" , "This flag is the real" and especially many cries of "Independence" . The presence of young, remember the conveners without initials, was very large, which predicts a major human contingent in the Struggle for National Liberation in the coming decades.
significance of the event:
In a colonial society and depoliticized the possibility of bringing together 3,000 people for national freedom cry, is a major achievement. Furthermore, the presence in unity of different political groups, mainly youth, is great news for working in unity.
* 2 Beyond what can be achieved in the short term and beyond 2010 as the supposed year of Independence, the 24-O is a before and after in the modern National Liberation Struggle for the Canary Islands. From here, the movement is knowing that you can go out and collect thousands of people. The tendency to self-marginalization that have all the ideas anti in the Canaries, requires accolades as last Saturday to know that they must be seen and go out. Ideas can be marginalized, but never eradicate .
hope this national demonstration unit will be the beginning of resurgence of the independence movement in the Canary Islands, often discouraged by social injustice political, cultural and economic prevailing.
media communication :
* 3 The ultimate expression of coloniality in the Canaries, is usually the press. A press fed by stereotypes españolistas and wrapped in the interests of the group that is behind his newspaper. Dignity, truth, journalistic ethics and love for the profession, are criteria that are hidden in their portfolios, without any hope of appearing at some time . Manipulation to tell what the lines of their newspapers want, are the order of the day and come to confuse opinion information * 4.
Daniel Millet started the war. This journalist Iberian Press Group, was commissioned to chronicle for Review Tenerife and The Province . In a cluster of demagogic and malicious expressions, the pseudoperiodista finds all the arguments that you can to minimize the impact of the event. Recurs in the text, the relationship allegedly having Day with the event and gives undue importance and antiperiodística , to an isolated event that occurred with a protester carrying a placard against the pathetic and Day pretentious is his article in The Province, other than that of La Opinión. In his presentation, said that for the demonstrators was the same Canary Island that scoundrel , as clearly false, since there were even alive for Gran Canaria. Day and online Ultrainsularista and fascist, is serving the press deligitimise Struggle for Independence: no independence seriously, can support this pamphlet, which now plays at being sovereigntist.
The royal English newspaper ABC spoke of "failure" . The fascist tendencies of the day, are well known. The unity of Spain is one of its ideological pillars and all that is in question the unit, it is worth smear by centralizing repressed.
Finally, this brief review to biased atrocities have said Mass Media English and English in the Canaries, the written comment by Francisco Pomares. I put in a situation of who is this guy: Francisco Pomares, is a English journalist who has spent several years in the Canary Press. His stubbornness and criticize everything smells a canary, it takes almost , calling us bastards in one of his last articles , which says the alleged "discovery " that our people are of Berber origin . Inspired by this article, Octavio Hernández laments the burning of his library .
Now one would expect, and its national cross-Catholic against all the Canary Islands, which very Santiago Matamoros, leaves us a pearl on his blog. Criticism is based on the demonstration, marginality of it (even said it was likely there were more people on the beach where he was the day of the march) in handling kids Canarian Coalition and other " independence factions" and of course, uses the hackneyed argument orchestration of The Day, absorbing this concentration, with the racist marches past years created by the newspaper El Dia same as always. That period could be devoted to writing novels of terror, for their ability to cause uncontrollable panic to the intelligence and ability to invent things, make it a potential Stephen King , canary-Madrid.
Conclusions:
The event was historic, not only by the number of people who came to her, but has the echo. Discussed in the mass media communication of Independence and a depoliticized society and slave of the mortgage and the letter of the car, he has realized there are people who struggle to improve the Canaries. Beyond the fascism of the Day and several other leading roles, the intelligent reader will appreciate that there is a political movement back there.
