The conspirators
|
At the center of Europe are plotting.
The fact dates from 1291.
These are men of different strains, who profess different religions and speaking different languages.
They estraña the resolution to be reasonable.
They resolved to forget their differences and accentuate their similarities.
They were soldiers of the Confederation, then mercenaries, because they were poor and tenian custom of war and not unaware that all companies are equally vain man.
They were Winkelried, which thrusts in the chest spears enemy to move their comrades.
They are a surgeon, a pastor or a barrister, but are also Paracelsus and Amiel and Jung and Paul Klee.
At the heart of Europe, in the highlands of Europe, grows a tower of reason and strong faith.
The cantons are now ventidos. The Geneva, the latter is one of my homeland.
Tomorrow will be the entire planet.
Perhaps what I am saying is not true, may be prophetic.

I begin, in the words of another, the great Borges, the last Borges, because I cando commissioned the task of glosar the beautiful gesture of Monteferro, this passionate defence of nature through the use of the Internet, then I thought about the men and women strangely reasonable that they should work on her fabric.
Is there platform Salvemos Monteferro , which get victories, as a small liberal David versus Goliath, it is really a small miracle that gives meaning to the prophecy borgiana. There is something deeply revolutionary in this whole effort, hear background voices of the conspirators, who are resisting the human stupidity, who decide to think and act with respect, with common sense dictates that the need to preserve the beauty, heal the wounds of the landscape, to respect, in short, life.
Who placement on the website to which today awarded the Prize V Nano Cambeiro of Journalism, will find a compromise radical group.
Today, collapsed and ideologies, the struggle for the conservation of biodiversity is probably one of the more honest and possible avenues that we have to say NO, for daring to question deeply the model of society in the we are. The website, and the platform of the emblem that is, freedom and full of risk. We are taught to see otherwise our environment, where daily went sight. So we are resigned as embrutecidos, that often we fail to perceive slow stabbed in the landscape. So unconsciously, we tend to assume too meekness wounds opened by the blind logic of the market. The work of this group is extraordinary, because it helps get us out of the Venda eyes. He named after the destruction, the devastation was indígna, gets angry and, curiously, it retains the smile and joy. Extraordinarily are reasonable, certainly, these men and women.
Monteferro is a place with aura, with a magnetic power. I visited often in my childhood, had a keen interest in her beauty, and, therefore, is marked on the map of my sentimental education as a sacred place.
After year Monteferro still resists. After so many "excessive, this coastal area may still exhibit natural spaces freed from the scourge of cement and dipper. There is one exception, a rarity in the band south of the river.
That this is so, that the beauty resist, we owe it to the will and the efforts of citizens aware. In 2006 a number of men and women began to say NO. The decision to develop the mountain by the concello de Nigrán acted as a spur to finally naciese a protest organized and systematic to barbarism. With speed, intelligence, the angry voices created a platform and a web page that is now a landmark. Collected 10,000 signatures against the project, 40,000 visits in the network. He had a thirst for justice with nature and found a precious channel, the organization Save Monteferro. David defeated Goliath. In 2007 found that the authorities cease their efforts to sanding the skin of Mount engrudo with asphalt.
That fact punctual, it was a germ. He made clear the need for a navy. So after today's platform and Web grow, they have the whole future, and are indispensable in our society. Here are, in the South, in our estuary, and open lines of combat with which any human being to lose should sympathize: gigantic metal skeletons of the proposed wind farm in the Serra da Groba, the desert industrial born in Porto do Molle, illegal logging of trees in Monteferro ...
There anything in this initiative to combat the destruction of our environment, radically new. This is a new way to organize, communicate, calling for activism. The network is used both to disseminate as to establish relationships with other non-hierarchical collective. It is, for the first time in our environment, to establish a true online work that generates an impressive network of associations. So is it possible to create a common front as the A Ría non se vende , which is fighting for the elimination of fifteen of the black spots Ria de Vigo and already achieved enormous numbers of citizen mobilization. As if it were a game of Chinese boxes, the latter, in turn, is integrated into the wider platform of Galiza non se Vende .
After nearly two decades of the Internet and began to see how palpable the possibilities offered by new technologies to improve our world. SalvemosMonteferro.org is an invaluable piece, performed with great visual appeal, constantly updated, full of accents ironically hopeful. SalvemosMonteferro.org is proof that the action could help save network, fulfilling the prophecy that envisioned a tower of reason and strong faith growing in the bowels of Europe.
Thank you for so much effort, so much hope.
