		Joe J. The sense of identity of our people and the determination to have our right to decolonisation and to the application of the UN Charter to our country is total and irrespective of how long we continue with this fight.

		Joe J. It is difficult to understand why a democratic Spain should have the same strong feelings as the fascist dictatorship had.
