89 years ago a democratic republic was born in Europe. It was far from perfect but it did have some virtues: Health and education services were not only public but guaranteed for everyone and women had the right to vote, for example. The right wing never likes social development cause it threatens the privileges of their leaders, and therefore they started a war after a failed coup d'etat. Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy helped Franco and the Republic lost the war, spanish citizens lost freedom for 40 years... In my country Galicia, the people loyal to the democratically elected government had to escape to the mountains to save their lives or to fight from there. In the cities and villages people got imprisoned for the randomest reasons, such as being an atheist or speaking galician instead of spanish. Lots of people even got assasinated for this. We lost our freedom, we lost our rights, and lots of lives were lost not only in the war but also in the brutal repression that came after it. But fascism could never make us lose our dignity. Infinite thanks to all the amazing human beings that went to the spanish republic to fight fascism. 65 brave individuals from Glasgow joined the International Brigade as volunteers and gave their lives to stop tyranny and build a better world. THANKS A LOT! You will never be forgotten. VIVA LA REPÚBLICA!! #NoPasarán
