Vandalism against the monolith reminiscent of the nine Columbians deported to Nazi concentration camps (23/11/2019)

On the night of November 22, the monolith reminiscent of the Aguileños deported to the Nazi concentration camps, located in the Garden of Memory, was subjected to a vandalism.

The plaque with the names of the nine victims was torn up, without knowing their whereabouts.

The local research and dissemination project, Amanecer 31, describes this as "unfortunate."

Its coordinator, the historian Pedro Javier López, believes that "actions like this, far from staining the memory of the victims they are reminded of, make the name of those who commit such lowness dirty."

He believes that this act of vandalism "is not accidental", but "responds to the intense memorial work" that since last summer they have been doing in the town.

There have already been three tributes made to Aguileños deported to the Mauthausen concentration camp, specifically to Ángel Pérez Cañas (September 27), Andrés Pérez Díaz (November 5) and Desiderio Aragoneses Cubo (November 12).

"Possibly it is an attempt to intimidate those who defend a society with memory," says López, "but they are far from achieving it, because this only gives us more strength to continue fighting for those who can no longer."

From Dawn 31 they request to the City council of Eagles "the replacement as soon as possible of the kidnapped plate".

According to his coordinator, "we have already contacted the government team and are confident that this request will be fulfilled as quickly as possible."

Finally, Pedro Javier López asks the political parties in Aguila to condemn the acts of vandalism committed against the space of the Garden of Memory.

"The political representatives of our people cannot look the other way in the face of attacks such as the one suffered yesterday," he concludes.
