Report | Reparation for colonialism and slavery in Spain 2 | Page 23

Intiatives
From 1990 ( 7 ) 15.6 %
From 2000 ( 2 ) 4.4 %
From 2010 ( 36 ) 80 %
The table presents the moment in time in which we place specific actions or the starting point of those that continue through the decades , such as the 12th October demonstrations , which are counted only from their origin . The trend shows a growth in recent years that anticipates an increase in actions and initiatives in the future , especially considering that Spain has not yet undertaken concrete measures , such as apologies , recognition or the transformation of its cities and museums , as has happened in other countries .
Challenges and key points of the Spanish case
At present , there is no unified database dedicated to mapping and monitoring all actions and protests that , in recent decades , have questioned hegemonic interpretations of colonial pasts , challenged symbols and structures , or reflected through specific initiatives on the relationship between the colonial past and current issues of racism and inequality . While not all of these issues can be seen directly as forms of reparation , we interpret them as part of one same phenomenon that contributes to the creation of new , more democratic and inclusive memories , encourages compensation and recognition initiatives , and advocates for specific legislation in this area .
