Todas imos na Flotilla da Liberdade // We're all going on the Freedom Flotilla #Isail4Freedom #FF3Flotilla #Palestina #Gaza

A Flotilla da Liberdade parte hoxe cara a Gaza en misión solidaria e humanitaria para tratar de levantar o bloqueo que as autoridades de Israel manteñen sobre o pobo de Palestina.



The Freedom Flotilla departs today to Gaza in a solidarity and humanitarian mission to try and break the blockade that the Government of Israel maintains against the people of Palestine.

Nesta moi arriscada misión está implicada moitas organizacións sociais, colectivos internacionais, particulares e tamén representantes políticos. 

Esta misión pretende chamar a atención sobre os constantes incumprimentos por parte de Israel de todas as leis e códigos internacionais de dereitos civís e humanos e da desesperante situación da poboación civil de Gaza. Israel, membro da ONU e que non acata nin unha soa das decisións sobre Palestina, describe a Flotilla da Liberdades coma unha provocación.



Many different social organizations, international platforms and collectives, individual people and political representatives are committed to this ever so risky mission.


This mission is trying to attract attention to the continuous defaults from Israel of any international laws and codes of civil and human rights and the desperate situation of the civilian population of Gaza. Israel, a UN member that does not respect a single decision of the UN about Palestine, has described this mission as an unnecessary provocation.
A eurodeputada do BNG, Ana Miranda, e Vicepresidenta da European Free Alliance (a nosa Ana)  que xa participou nunha ruta có Marianne dende Bueu a Lisboa, embárcase neste último tramo, conxuntamente con outros valentes. Cinco barcos compoñen a Flotilla da Liberdade e contan xuntarse fronte as costas de Gaza at the end of June.


The BNG MEP, Ana Miranda, also Vice-President of the European Free Alliance (oor Ana), who has already participated in a maritime route aboard the Marianne from Bueu (Galiza) to Lisbon (Portugal), embarks on this last stretch, with other brave people. The Freedom Flotilla comprises of five boats and they expect to join each other off the coast of Gaza at the end of June.

Salvemos as verbenas // Save the "Verbenas" #Music #Galiza #PatrimonioCultural #Orquestas #Verbenas

There is a very old tradition of popular concerts and local festivals in Galicia. We call them "verbenas"- an open-air dance. My dad, a profesional musician, was part of one orquestra, and like two of my uncles, participated in these events. My family has deep musical roots.

En Galicia existe unha moi vella tradición de concertos populares e festas populares. Chamámolos verbenas. O meu pai, músico profesional, formou parte dunha orquesta, e ao igual que outros dous tíos meus, participou destas verbenas. A miña familia ten profundas raices musicais.  
Today many Galician musicians of popular orchestras from all over Galicia were in Compostela reclaiming for the continued existence of the "verbenas" (concerts in local festivals) considered as part of the musical heritage and touristic events of interest. They were also claiming for the legal normalization of musician rights, or a reduced cultural tax and more ...

Hoxe moitos músicos galegos de orquestas populares de toda Galicia estiveron en Compostela para evitar a desaparición das verbenas (concertos das festas locais), para que o Goberno Galego as considere parte do patrimonio cultural e de interés turístico. Tamén revindicaban unha regulación legal dos dereitos dos músicos, ou a creación dun IVE cultural reducido e outros... 


They started their demonstration at the train station in Compostela making a stop in front of the Galician Parliament and moving on through the streets of Compostela,  filling the city with joy and quality music.

Comezaron a súa manifestación na  estación de trens de Compostela, facendo unha parada diante do Parlamento galego e continuando polas rúas de Compostela, enchendo a cidade de ledicia e calidade musical.

Our huge musical heritage deserves to be supported and protected, so... On you go musicians! Let's save the "verbenas"! 

O noso enorme patrimonio musical merece ser apoiado e protexido, polo que... Adiante músicos! Salvemos as verbenas!
