Sra. Maria Luisa Sepulveda Edwards, President of the Museo de la Memoria y de los Derechos Humanos (Museum of Memory and Human Rights) of Santiago de Chile, presented this power point (in Spanish) in grassroots community of Santo Tomás de Aquino on 10th October 2018.
The museum explains to Chilean citizens the violations of Human Rights that occurred during the dictatorship (1973-1990) which started with the coup d’etat of Pinochet against Allende. The museum is an example of what we must build in Spain to explain the historical memory of the Franco regime.
The museum is also an invitation to the citizens of the world against those who call us to forget in favour of a false reconciliation:

La Sra Maria Luisa Sepúlveda, presidenta del Museo de la Memoria y de los Derechos Humanos de Santiago de Chile, nos presentó este power point en nuestra comunidad Santo Tomás de Aquino de Madrid el pasado 10 de octubre.
El museo explica a la ciudadanía chilena las violaciones a los derechos humanos ocurridas durante la dictadura (1973-1990) que se inicia con el golpe de estado de Pinochet contra Allende. Es un ejemplo de lo que deberíamos construir en España para explicar la memoria histórica del régimen de Franco.
El museo es también una invitación a la ciudadanía del mundo contra los que llaman a olvidar en pro de una falsa reconciliación:
EN-RE is sending out invitations to its next Annual Conference in Madrid in May 2019 to grassroots christian communities which share its policies on Freedom of Conscience and Human Rights:
You are kindly invited to participate to the 2019 Annual Conference of the European Network Church on the Move (EN-RE) which will take place in Madrid, from the 16th to the 19th of May 2019 with the particular aim to meet Christian Associations and grassroots communities from other parts of Europe to share our experience and learn from each other how we interpret the gospels and act in the world accordingly.
EN-RE is an international NGO, registered under French law, composed on a voluntary basis, of Catholic movements in Western Europe who call themselves Grassroots Christians because we think that the Catholic Church has become a structural organization that has lost contact with the ideas of Jesus of Nazareth in the gospels. Many of our movements put into practice the decisions of the Vatican Council II, already in the 1960s, and we have not paid attention to the conservative backward-looking decisions of Popes John Paul II and Benedict XVI. We definitely support Pope Francis’s social policies and pastoral approach but criticise him for having not yet taken steps to improve gender issues. At the same time, we appreciate his difficulties due to the mass appointment of very conservative bishops by the previous popes.
We believe in building here and now what Jesus called God’s Kingdom as promoted by Liberation Theology
Further to the articles on our website in different languages about the Conference of French-speaking Baptised Persons (CCBF) requesting Pope Francis to approve a Council of God's People with an equal number of women and men participants, you can now sign the Petition directly on our website via the link for English (EN), Spanish (ES), Portuguese (PT), Italian (IT) and French (FR) once you have made the connection.
Aunque la petición originó en la Conferencia de bautizadxs francófonxs se busca obtener 10.000 apoyos para presentar la petición al papa. Se ha conseguido solamente el 21% al 18 de noviembre de 2018 con la firma de casi 1.800 franceses pero solo 2 de España, 2 de Irlanda, 2 del Reino Unido, 1 de Austria. Yo lo he firmado pero ¿por qué no tu? Todos beneficiaríamos con un concilio con igual número de mujeres que hombres. Parece una quimera, una justa de molinos al estilo de Don Quijote pero hay que conseguir llegar a las 10.000 firmas! Vamos, manos a la obra!
Although this campaign initiated in the French-speaking Conference of Baptised Persons, EN-RE’s member group Partenia 2000 and Jean Garnier, personally, are committed to the success of this petition but although nearly 1,800 French people have signed other nationalities are not pulling their weight in Spain (2 signatories), Ireland 2, UK 2, Austria 1. I have signed but why haven’t you? We would all benefit with a council with an equal number of women participants as men. It sounds like a pipe dream but we have to achieve these 10,000 signatures! Come on, let’s get cracking!
Reclamemos una Europa acogedora es una Iniciativa Ciudadana Europea oficialmente registrada en la Unión Europea que afirma que “dado que nuestros gobiernos tienen dificultades para gestionar la inmigración, nosotros, ciudadanos europeos, estudiantes, voluntarios, familias, sindicatos y comunidades de fe de todos los ámbitos, nos hemos movilizado para dar nuestro apoyo.
Pero nuestro derecho a ayudar está siendo criminalizado
We are welcoming Europe is a citizens' initiative that is calling for one million signatures from citizens of the European Union and its "goal is to secure 1 million signatures and public support by February 2019 to pass key EU migration reform priorities as part of the 2019 European elections. The demands focus on community sponsorships, decriminalising service-provision and defending victims of labour exploitation and human rights abuses".
There are "Let's help" campaigns in 14 European countries but the following countries are not yet involved in the campaign: Spain, Portugal, Denmark, United Kingdom, Ireland, Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Switzerland.
EN-RE wants to become a partner supporting this campaign and members should belong to or start "Let's help" groups in our own countries such as, for me, Spain, so please click on https://weareawelcomingeurope.eu and sign the appeal.
