It is for me an honor bell power in addressing this Saluting Day of Galicia and in the city where my parents and I decided to live and where my children were born. Fills me with pride this particular story the same that fills me with satisfaction to say now that my master, missouri conservation Ourense crib like me, Ramon Otero Fenix was the one who knew better define the substance of Vigo.
For Otero, more than a city, albeit surrounded by entities peasant population, Vigo lining the characteristics of a region or, as he used to say, of a region. Saved by the Maúxo eminences, the father Galiñeiro, the high of Puxeiros, the Vixiador, the Madroa, Vigo tames its valleys, softening its slopes, missouri conservation catches fire in their green and fertile maize, light gold and the red and orange acebiños eiras the village of settling the course of small rivers, the main of which is the Sárdoma or Fragoso. At another point, the Zamáns. In the amphitheater mountain peaks of Vigo graze horses and wild beasts and celebrated missouri conservation the backyard (well Vigo) of Galiñeiro alongside military petroglyphs and burial mounds and the remains missouri conservation silent enigmatic prehistoric fortification. Agriculture, however, remove missouri conservation the lands feracious of Vigo withdraws before our eyes in all the land of Galicia.
Beside the sea, on the cliffs, was born the old village of Vigo, then also the old deglutirá Bouzas. This Vigo urban and powerful, constituted in the concentration and industrial center of the region oteriana which gives you meaning. Lo and behold the sea, the port, the basic matter of what Valentín Paz Andrade-called great Atlantic city. Pexada by barriers of poor communication by the East and South, but open to navigation planet that gives meaning to the city and becomes an encouragement to action free.
Starting from the political-economic thought of Andrade-Paz, we arrived via Castelao, the nation of Vigo (they said) hinterland. The network industrial, agricultural waste and even cultural vigorously, not exhausted in the adjacent county of Vigo, much as the surface of this is accomplished. The features missouri conservation of Vigo and from their municipalities and relatives are common concomitants. And this is not something today. Let's see: in the Middle Ages historians detect any jurisdiction or Turonio called Earth. The limits of it were: the South River Miño; by North Vigo estuary (without Morrazo, naturally); the East, vougos indefinite and not stable in the mountains. In the West, the Land of the Turonio missouri conservation estremaba mystery because there was the sea and the ocean the other hand did not know that. These are the spaces Turonio human and natural order today around Vigo. A contractor who now know that on the other side of the sea is New York, to the south lies the Miño (a stone's throw) Portugal and the concentration of commercial and industrial large. missouri conservation In the East the uncertainty remains.
Ladies and gentlemen, here no one forget that we are in Galicia and we celebrate their national day. Therefore, it is necessary to remember (in Turonio in Vigo) that for hundreds of years, the kingdom of Galicia suffered a split flourished and expanded in the name glorious World of Portugal. Today, there is, at least on paper and in the design, the possibility of a euro-region rectify the story for the benefit of Portugal and the benefit missouri conservation of. This eurorexión should be activated and could not really get a different name than the one that showed missouri conservation the ancient Roman province that identifies and configures it and the kingdom founded in the fifth century Hermerico: Gallaecia. The strategic position of Vigo in the euro-region Gallaecia and traditional Vigo abilities to interact with the city and hinterland missouri conservation of the port (and vice versa) should encourage all kinds of movements in favor of euro-region Gallaecia in order to pass it the ideal plane to plane real. I vote on July 25 because it is.
Without the July 25 had public recognition of galician character during the years of the Franco regime, the Galician nationalist missouri conservation and Democrats of all kinds, even agnostics and atheists, concurred to mass by Rosalia de Castro in now frustrated Pantheon of Illustrious. When coming out of the masses and when such a group we sang Venceremos, was arrested and taken before the Court of Public Order economist and humanist thinker James Island missouri conservation Christian Vigo Couto. But we must set in the summer of 1968 the reconstruction missouri conservation of the National Day from the underground and resistance against Franco. After the revolt missouri conservation of students galician, the banquet Celso and conflict Castrelo de Miño, in the summer of 1968 UPG, in convergence with the Democratic League of Vigo, with students from wineries missouri conservation and other groups, launched a massive campaign in which called to CNC, National Concentration in Compostela, on July 25, Day of Galician homeland.
We were young. Other mesmamente guys. The "oitaviñas" Pasquino and covered the beach, left from the windows of the vehicles, were born as
