The first edition of the championship, "plate-plate" that we organized from Tindal has had the aim, firstly, to report the presence of a huge Franco symbols on the streets of Castilla that extols the dictatorial period. We believe that the continuance of these symbols supone una grave ofensa para cualquier persona que se diga defensora de la libertad, es una ofensa para todas aquellas personas que lucharon y luchan contra el fascismo, para aquellas a las que ha arrebatado la vida y para aquellas que sufrieron y sufren su represión.
Consideramos que la permanencia de esos símbolos en nuestras calles es intolerable y por tanto somos partidarios de que sean retirados. Para ello hemos considerado que no hay por qué esperar la actuación de ninguna Ley de Memoria Histórica, sino que por nuestros propios medios es posible y necesario retirar esos símbolos franquistas. Por eso, el otro objetivo del torneo “Placa-placa” ha sido la limpieza de simbología franquista de nuestras calles.
The tournament began in late October 2009 and concluded in the month of February. Have involved groups of young anti-fascists who have withdrawn a total of 216 Francoist symbols in various municipalities of Spain like Madrid, Pozuelo, Fuenlabrada, Segovia, Toledo and Cuenca.
With this tournament we tried to encourage those critical of the presence of symbols to commemorate the Franco period in the streets to become involved in the removal of this symbol. Despite this, we think the removal of Francoist symbols should be independent of tournaments have been organized for it or not, so we encourage you to continue cleaning up our streets!
