As every 12th of October Spain celebrates its national party but not everyone is happy about to celebrate it. In this article the author explains us why and how people who disagree whit this celebration reacts.
This festivity it's given at the end of the conquist of America, where the spanish language and culture was extended across the new found continent. That's the main problem that makes people dislike the 12th of October celebration. They think that we shouldn't be celebrating such a violent thing that had happened and that instead, we should feel ashamed and empathize with how the native american felt.
Another fact that gives so much hate to this party is the people who wants the independence for Catalonia. The independentists say that, as they don't feel spanish, there's nothing to celebrate and that they'll go to work anyway.
I particulary don't have anything against this celebration but I agree with it being the celebration of something violent. But look at the catalan national party, every 11th of September we celebrate a defeat, so I guess every culture and country has its meanings for these festivties.
