Madrid City Council plans to demolish a monument dedicated to the International Brigades that was erected on the campus of the Universidad Complutense in the Spanish capital. Some Luxembourg associations have reacted by sending a letter to the Spanish Embassy in Luxembourg to ask it to intercede with the Spanish Government and prevent this action. If the demolition is consummated, it would be a very hard blow against historical memory and the paradox would arise that Luxembourg would have a monument to the Brigades and Madrid would not.
as you know, the Catalan Center of Luxembourg participates every year in the tribute to the International Brigades in Dudelange, around the monument "They will not pass", that will contribute to erecting. As an organization that supports people from all over Europe, especially those from Luxemburg, who traveled to Spain to defend freedom, democracy and legitimate government, the CCL has joined as a signatory to the document delivered to the Spanish Embassy.
