Ireland: occupied for centuries by imperial invaders who brutally suppressed their language & identity; endured torture, murder, sexual violence, hunger. They bravely resisted & live free today.

NEVER UNDERESTIMATE 🇺🇸 @POTUS @realDonaldTrump From the Spanish King to the German Emperor. From Hitler to the Soviet Union. From Milosevic to Saddam, Gaddafi, Khamenei and Putin.

From the tragedy of 1914 to the unity of Europe. 🇦🇹🇷🇸🇪🇺 Austria must openly acknowledge the suffering caused by the Austro-Hungarian invasion of Serbia and condemn the failed militarism of Conrad von Hötzendorf and Oskar Potiorek.

The German people endorsed and participated in the two largest genocides of the 20th century: the terrible Holocaust which saw over 6 million Jews perish in concentration camps and this enormous genocide of 15 million Russian civilians that is too forgotten in the European Union!

No one can forget all these heroes of France, French from the mainland and overseas, from the colonies or abroad, who were, in these tragic moments of our history, not only the craftsmen of the resurgence but above all the guardians of honor.

On this day of remembrance, let us honor the memory of fighting France, which, starting from nothing, contributed, through the French Free Forces and the Resistance, to the defeat of the armies of the German national-socialist regime.

May 8, 1945. Europe buried Nazism at the cost of millions of lives. 80 years later, heirs of this ideology sit in our parliaments, govern countries, dictate the agenda. Today, more than ever, let us be the heirs of yesterday's anti-fascists. (Original: 8 mai 1945. L’Europe enterre le nazisme au prix de millions de vies. 80 ans plus tard, des héritiers de cette idéologie siègent dans nos parlements, gouvernent des pays, dictent l’agenda.

Today marks 81 years since the liberation of Mauthausen, a concentration camp with 7,500 Republicans deported. It is worth remembering that the ambassador to Nazi Germany under Hitler was Eugenio Espinosa de los Monteros, a relative of the former leader of the far-right party VOX. (Original: Hoy se cumplen 81 años de la liberación de Mauthausen, campo de concentración con 7.500 republicanos deportados.
