Political Freedoms' Day
December 7th
Yearly, in December 7th the democrat collective demands spanish
Regime from dropping its self-glorification and progressing to a system
of political freedoms.
Its legitimacy is proportional to grade of allowed political
freedoms. The Regime becomes stabilized in a predemocracy that refuses
to grow, spreading by its propaganda media the subliminal idea of
having reached its political ceiling and actual constitution contains
what democrat people might hope.
First at all, in the Political Freedoms' Day main freedoms of
warranty of popular Constituent Power have claimed:
- Freedom of popular initiative for constitutional amendment
- Freedom of popular initiative for calling Constituent
Assembly
And against replacement of Force by Deception, in the Political
Freedoms' Day we claim:
