Homage International Brigades Barcelona oct 08

This video was taken in the homage that Spain gave to our friends of the International Brigades on October 25th. This homage remembered that 70 years have passed since they had to leave Spain, in the last efforce of President Juan Negrin to have assistance from Roosevelt and Churchill against the fascist troops that were defeating democracy in Spain.
This marvellous dance of AY CARMELA, played by COL.LECTIU BROSSA took place in the Palau de Pedralbes, in Barcelona.
Both Catalonia and Barcelona governement did a marvellous job in all the acts for this Homage to International Brigades. Gracies amics.
It's difficult to express how we admire these people who came from dozens of countries for fighting for freedom, for them and for the future generations.
In these images you can see, to name just a few friends, Universo Lipiz, volunteer form Cuba sitting on a chair to have a rest after an exhausting dance.
We can recognize also our friends, the nice women who are family of the ABE LINCOLN brigadists, the FOREVER ACTIVISTS.
The Germans, the Russians, the Letons, Bulgarians, French, Mexicans,English... the best generation our eyes we'll see.
¡VIVA LA XV BRIGADA!, ¡NO PASARAN!

Admiro a la gente que vino de lejos a luchar por una idea, por un ideal!

Pero pido a Dios que el mundo tenga paz!

I was present at this event and others around Barcelona and Sitges in Oct 08. It was a great honour and a fantastic weekend.

We must never forget socialist values that drove the great men and women of International Brigades to fight in Spain.

No Pasaran
