Republicans, to commemorate the 78th anniversary of the proclamation of the Second English Republic on April 14, 1931, as heirs of the values \u200b\u200bof justice, freedom, equality and fraternity that pervade the feeling all we claim that the Republic as a form of state we wish to reaffirm, in the first place, our appreciation for the tremendous work accomplished during the Second Republic. The significant and even revolutionary changes in its short democratic experience were implemented in our country at all political and social fields, and on Fundamental Rights and Freedoms, and in terms of separation Powers and the secular state, with respect to land policy with the implementation of the Federal State and the recognition of the historical rights of the historic nationalities, with regard to foreign policy and commitment for peace, as also , the unquestionable advances made in the context of Justice, Education and Culture. Aspects, all of them, which until then had been forbidden to all English citizens, and especially the less favored social classes of society, workers, women and children
Also, for those who sign this manifesto is our purpose in this day so felt by all of us to express our commitment to the achievement of the Third Republic. In this regard, we pledge to redouble our efforts and work in the democratic process of regeneration, renewal, ethics, social policy and our country needs and, without doubt, going from left to Construct Alternative Republicana. Alternative democratic, pluralistic and participatory from the republican movement have been developing to be the Republican values \u200b\u200bbeing assumed by English society, so that is conducive to a new situation that culminates in a Constitutional Process in the Third Republic and final end of the monarchy imposed by the fascist regime of General Franco.
However, this process of political and social regeneration is required to overcome some evils that crept from the Transition and tainted over time, as a whole, are manifested in Spain in 2009, in a political and democratic deficit growing accentuated in a political and social crisis aggravated by the economic collapse of the neoliberal system that outrageous and predatory, based on speculation and financial planning over the past two decades, with complete impunity and a lack of ethics environment , corruption and political wheeling and dealing, have been entrenched in certain sections of the business with the complicity of governments and political forces, and whose outcome can not be more stark, falling production, bankruptcies, foreclosures, high unemployment, significant increase in poverty, marginalization and social exclusion . All this reveals the exhaustion of a political and an economic model that must be overcome and also it is, the existing constitutional system that supports it.
Hence it is required to provide some elements for reflection, discussion and action of the Republican movement to society under the Building of the Republican alternative proposed
economic crisis
The current economic crisis, are extremely serious, is a global crisis that is implicit in the capitalist neoliberal globalization system, globally and also here in our country. It is not like us believe, a crisis point and passing, nor as the result of failures in control mechanisms and system monitoring. Not only that. Capitalism as a system has shown its failure as an advocate for equality, democracy, freedom, peace and respect for human rights, besides being the generator of conflicts and international tensions of all kinds.
Así, a la hora de plantear el modelo económico y social de salida de la crisis, consideramos que es imprescindible aumentar la democracia para que sean los propios ciudadanos, con información y transparencia, los sujetos del debate social y decisión colectiva. Que los poderes económicos estén controlados de una forma efectiva por el poder democráticamente elegido, en lugar de estar solapados o por encima de él. Asimismo, es ineludible la asunción del valor de lo público como criterio prioritario
frente al beneficio privado. Igualmente, es necesaria la exigencia de una banca y un fuerte sector públicos con una verdadera planificación democrática de la economía como, al tiempo is required to promote new forms of social organization, different ways to produce, manage and distribute the wealth to meet the needs of the vast majority of so many millions of human beings in addition to achieving environmental sustainability. In short, encouraging other values \u200b\u200band other ideals that are based on the common good, justice and solidarity because ... there is no other way.
Historic Memory
The organizations work from memoirs and from the Republican movement itself is being developed by the Recovery of Historical Memory has, in itself, a profound burden, not only reporting of Franco but critical question of breaking with the transition model imposed on us and consequently, claims of the Republic and truncated to restore legality and as an alternative to the monarchy imposed. Therefore, it is why we believe that the existing momentum on the recovery of historical memory, regardless of their legal loopholes or political barriers and shameless, it is a social process crucial and difficult to turn back, showing our commitment by working together with other groups for their full achievement of which is justice for the victims of Franco, but also as a lever to break with inherited constitutional model.
Republican Alternative
As Republicans, we reiterate our Untying the monarchy as an institution fundamentally undemocratic, lacking any hint of lace and justification in our time. For their origin, their privileges that violate the most basic democratic foundations: its lifetime, hereditary and irrevocable, the "sanctity" of the monarch, the "not subject to liability" in their actions, the lack of control over their activities , assets and expenses to the public expense. It is appropriate, report, also shielding Political and media silence and reverence surrounding the institution, the king and his actions and, in turn, measures of administrative, judicial police and to silence the voices become increasingly critical to the crown, as pure freedom of expression are, however, continuous opening gaps in this field.
Thus, compared to the monarchy, we are committed to more democracy, the Third Republic. A Republic, Federal, Secular, Participatory Development and the recognition of the right of self determination of peoples that make up the State as enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights United Nations to end with the privileges of religious and the secular state to enact a real separation of church and state, where human rights, effective and enforceable by law, are the obligatory reference pivot on which all government action: a Republican state with a truly independent justice Executive who will make sure the right of every citizen to have swift justice, fair and effective; Republic whose political practice Radical Democracy is promoting real channels to promote the democratic participation of citizens and those with rights and obligations are the central subject of political and social action: All of these elements, taken together, mean that the Republic as a form of state, a model is morally superior, more just and democratic than the current monarchical state also offering undoubtedly, a most suitable framework in which to develop and defend the political and social rights demand citizenship.
Consequently, to achieve this goal we consider it necessary to bet, by a process that overcomes the current constitutional framework, which leads, in a Republican constitutional process, where citizens with information and free debate, complete and accurate, to exercise the right democracy that was stolen to make independent decisions about the state form and its contents.
A process for what we call to convergence and the social structure of the republican movement to promote a clear perspective of Political and Social Regarding Republican that will enable us to advance the realization of a Republican program proposals and let us add up citizenship. That is, many more Republicans and Republican.
For the ultimate recovery of our historical memory!
For an alternative model of capitalist crisis!
For a Republican constitutional process!
For the Third Republic, Federal, Secular, participation and solidarity! Viva
April 14th! III Viva la Republica!
