The lama who signed the complaint for the genocide in Tibet visits the Rototom festival
Lama Thubten Wangchen, this Thursday at Rototom. / ANGEL SANCHEZThe lama Thubten Wangchen, exiled in Barcelona, representative of Tibet in Spain and signatory of the complaint for the genocide of his people in a case recently filed by the National Court, has been through the festival Rototom Sunsplash from Benicàssim to participate in a forum on Universal Justice. "Siento vergüenza del Gobierno de España por cambiar la paz por el dinero de China", said Wednesday before a hundred attendees. The lama criticized the reform of the Organic Law of the Judicial Power that limited the universal justice and caused, among others, the immediate filing of the case on the genocide in Tibet.
Wangchen was preceded by lawyer José Elías Esteve, editor of the two complaints presented in the National Court for genocide and crimes against humanity committed against the Tibetan people. Esteve habló del "terremoto diplomático" what it meant for the lama to testify in court and the insistence on filing the case.
The representative of Tibet in Spain called to support the Tibetan cause because, said: "China no podrá invadir España como hizo en el Tíbet, but yes it can invade us economically". Wangchen ha ampliado estas reflexiones este jueves en una rueda de prensa en la que ha manifestado que en diez años "los españoles tendrán que pedir trabajo a los chinos" (due to the business invasion of the Asian country) y ha asegurado que la reforma de la Justicia Universal responde a la "presión" del gobierno chino a España "por la deuda".
