The FEMP is available to the Government of Spain to collaborate in any type of humanitarian action
Madrid, February 25, 2022.- Following the military aggression suffered by Ukraine on February 24 by the Russian Federation, the Spanish Federation of Municipalities and Provinces (FEMP), representing the Spanish Local Governments, and through the Board of Spokespersons, makes public the following Institutional Declaration:
1. We strongly and unequivocally condemn the attacks carried out in several Ukrainian cities, as well as the military deployment launched by the Russian government and all the consequences that have arisen from it. We therefore call, in line with the international community, for an immediate cessation of the aggression and the withdrawal of Russian military personnel deployed in Ukraine.
2. We firmly support the people of Ukraine, to whom we express our solidarity and affection. We extend this support to the more than 112.034 thousand Ukrainians who live in our country and who have been our neighbours for years.
3. We support all initiatives aimed at restoring international law that has been unilaterally violated, as well as defending and strengthening it as a central element of the world order agreed upon by the main European and international bodies.
4. We support, without any doubt, any action aimed at restoring peace and democratic coexistence, and respect for the law and human rights.
5. We place ourselves at the disposal of the Government of Spain, with all our resources, to collaborate in any type of humanitarian action and the reception of Ukrainian citizens who are leaving their country.
