The City Council offers to host Afghan refugees and will illuminate the façade with the country's flag

August 19 from 2021 - 15: 29

"In solidarity with the Afghan people, victim once again of the dire consequences of the Taliban's struggle for power and under the imminent threat of the reinstatement of an ultra-Orthodox and extremist religious regime, where the guarantees of respect for human rights universals are null, the municipal Corporation of the City Council of Dénia wants to express its concern for the future of women and men, boys and girls, of Afghanistan ", has communicated the City Council.

All parties represented in the Dianense consistory (PSOE, PP, Compromís, Citizens and Gent of Dénia) ask "that the international community not abandon the Afghan people and that no concessions be made to the violation of their rights and freedoms".

"As societies of rights, democratic countries and secular states, we cannot allow Afghanistan to regress again in terms of human rights and the well-being of citizens; it is intolerable that once again girls and women are denied education, they are forced to concealment and their lives and hopes remain in the hands of the arbitrary wishes of dictatorial rulers; it is inadmissible that children are militarized and uprooted from families and childhood to nurture the ranks of an army without compassion. "

"As Western societies, we also assume our share of responsibility for having turned certain areas of the world into simple geostrategic objectives. As global societies, still struggling to overcome a pandemic that has equaled us globally, we react to help our Afghan brothers ", you can read in the manifesto that they have sent to the media.

From Dénia, they take a step forward and offer themselves as a welcoming city for refugees and to put the resources they have available to help.

In addition, from today the façade of the town hall will be illuminated in green and red, the colors of the Afghan flag.

    Given the comments that are emerging, all contrary to the false goodwill of the politicians, all receiving good salaries and having multiple perks.
    I propose that each Afghan taken in be exchanged for one of the thousands of politicians and advisers we have left over.
    Or if you prefer, by one or two separatists who are not happy with living in Spain.
    And so we ease and offset the burden.
    And do not call me a façade or unsupportive, since the government and its agreements with the separatists; has the citizenship totally abandoned and depleted. Or not?
    Good Morning.

    (I doubt they publish it)

    Julian Assange said it 10 years ago, in 2011: “The goal is to use Afghanistan to get the money out of the US and European tax bases through Afghanistan and back into the hands of a transnational security elite. The goal is an endless war, not a successful war. ' And that is why he is silenced and imprisoned now.

    Yes, I can understand the human impulse to help, after 20 years keeping a country in poverty only to funnel tax money to the security industry like Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, Boeing, General Dynamics, Northrop, whose shares went up 10 times (1000% ) in the last 20 years.

    It is already good to give away the money of others so happily without any kind of consultation, it seems that we are more than enough with what it costs us to comply with our taxes and in exchange not receive anything.

    There was a man so supportive that he saw some hungry children and gave them all the money he had collected when he got home, his wife was looking forward to that money and the husband told him that he had donated it to some poor children and the woman answered him now your children will pass hunger and calamities is just a reflection of solidarity actions

      The humanitarian sense that emerges from the generosity of the People of Denia, through the politicians who »represent us« is very good.
      Do not flaunt flags, which is not necessary, it is a recommendation. Be prudent and inform yourself well about the people we want to host.
      The fundamentalists are criminals, infiltrating all the places that Islam dominates and also where they are welcomed and tolerated. Europe is easy prey for them.
      Good Morning.

      We already hope that Afghans live like us. And let's not change how we live we are in Spain. When you live in your country and other countries you have to live as they live. or else they put you in jail. So they are the ones who have to live like they live here.

    As first that the City Council worries so eagerly
    and advertising, providing solutions to the shortage of public housing for existing citizens and neighbors, access to services, which will solve the lack of school places, public nurseries and street cleaning and sustainable economy for the entire city and region.

    When everything is done, and if there is time and resources left, ask the public what they would like to invest in and where, according to public opinion, it would be desirable to help.

    That they are always very generous with other people's money, that is, from taxes and public items, have they consulted the majority of the public if it seems right? Or simply does the City Council presuppose it, because it does not have the obligation to consult anything?

    Come on, as first you have to fix your own house before getting into someone else's.

  10. Luis says:

    Very good, but where are they going to get the money to do it? That money that they say they don't have to help the citizens here. Where are they going to house them so they can live? In houses / flats that they say they don't have for the citizens here. What jobs are they going to give them? The ones that there are not for citizens of here. As for lighting the façade, well, a very nice gesture, and with what money are you going to pay the lucerio? with which they are going to remove from any item of services to citizens. We are going to stop playing that we are more than enough when the reality is that we have been crawling for a long time.

    • Juan says:

      Totally agree with you.

    • Ricardo Gonzalez Camus says:

      You are always generous with the effort and money of others. That they take responsibility for their decisions and they are the ones who take care of both the expenses and their maintenance and accommodation.

    In other words, we sell them the weapons ... the meritorious and successors make their fortune and now we put up their flag to show solidarity ... I keep quiet.
