"Civil Spanish War" telegraphs found

Fourty years later, real stories found in the "Telecommunications Palace" in Barcelona | "Civil Spanish War" told firsthand 

Dozens of anonymous telegraph stories during the “Civil Spanish War” and its post war period has been found. Pedro de la Prada, the head of the “Spanish Post and Telegraph”, ordered the “Human Resources” files discarded at the “Telecommunications Palace” in Barcelona.  Between folios and yellowed telegrams emerged hundreds of personal, unpublished and touching stories, together with an in-depth epistolary chronicle of the “Civil Spanish War”.

For example, there are telegraphs hardly punished for comply orders under Republican control, Franco and communist purges and lack of ideological affinity and moral judgment and quarantine by personality or sexual orientation sensed supervisors on staff. 


All this telepgraphs are going to stay together at the new "Record KDO", the manuscript that is writing Pedro de la Prada, who found all this letter treasures.

"It always seems impossible until it is done"

Nelson Mandela passed away this 5th of December at the age of 95. Mandela was a South African politician and lawyer who was the first black to hold the presidency of South Africa.

He fought against racism, poverty and inequality, and that was the reason why he won the Peace Nobel. He went to prison for 27 years in deplorable conditions, and he became a symbol of the fight against the apartheid. He represented the lack of freedom of all black South Africans.

These are some of the reasons why he has been an inspiration for many people, possibly even for the president of Catalonia Artur Mas. Mandela is going to be buried next Sunday in Qunu, his native village.

The Ukranian revolution takes down the Lenin statue


The Ukranian revolution has overthrown the Lenin statue in Kiev. The statue has been overthrown with steel wire and the revolutionaries have hit the marble monument that represents Vladimir Lenin. The protesters have assured that Yanukóvich will be the next.

These images have been the most seen this weekend because they had been uploaded on social networks. Around 2.000 members of the Svoboda party have built barricades in front of the governmental buildings. According to the police, there were 50.000 people protesting in Kiev.


The whole revolution has been caused because the Ukrainians want to be in the European Union, and ask for 20.000 million to sign the agreement to be a part of it. The demonstrators are against the relationship that links the Ukrainians with Russians.
