Nunca Máis (Galician: Never Again) is the name and slogan of a popular movement in Galicia (Spain) formed in response to the Prestige ship environmental disaster in 2002. The movement's banner is based on the Galician flag, but with a blue diagonal on a black field, rather than a blue diagonal on a white field. The movement describes itself as representing a broad swathe of civil society.
Nunca Máis organized a number of demonstrations to ensure the official recognition of Galicia as a catastrophe zone and the immediate resource base to repair the economic, social, environmental and health problems resulting from the disaster. It also called for the set in of motion of disaster prevention systems, in order to avoid disasters like this from occurring. The demonstrations were attended by thousands on successive days.
On August 11, 2006, the Plataforma Nunca Máis announced their reactivation to fight against the wave of forest fires that had been started throughout Galicia. A number of rallies in the Galician capital, Santiago de Compostela, were organised, with large numbers attending.
Brasil: Nunca Mais (Portuguese for Brazil: never again) is a book edited by Paulo Evaristo Arns, in which episodes of torture under the military dictatorship in Brazil between 1964 and 1979 are documented. With the assistance of the Presbyterian minister Jaime Wright, he photocopied the military government's records on torture, which were used as his source. There is an English version of this book called Torture in Brazil: A Shocking Report on the Pervasive Use of Torture by Brazilian Military Governments, 1964-1979. It can be viewed as the Brazilian version of Argentina's Nunca Más Report released one year before.
In total, the book documents 17,000 victims, provides details of 1,800 torture episodes and lists the names of the 353 victims who were killed by the regime. The book became later one of the biggest source of data for the Brazilian National Truth Commission, basically for financial reparation, as it is not possible to legally charge any state member in Brazil for human wrights crimes occurred from 1961 until 1979 due to 1979 Amnesty law. The book was kept secret for five years under the dictatorship, and only published with the return to democracy. The book was a bestseller and provoked a widescale movement for change. After its release, a Non-governmental organization called Tortura nunca mais was founded and began to monitor and denounce the presence of torture in Brazil.
Você disse
Que era o fim
Que não me queria
Nunca mais
Eu nem liguei
Tentei sorrir
E você disse outra vez:
- Nunca mais
Ainda posso te ouvir
Dizendo o que nem quero repetir
Será que nunca mais vou ser feliz?
Esse amor
Me segue
Onde eu vou
Assim, como uma sombra faz
Na vida
No sonho
Onde for
Pra sempre e pra nunca mais
Eu me lembro
Das estrelas
Em seu olhar
ainda estão lá?
Dos suspiros
Do sorriso
De tanta coisa mais
Mas deixe estar
Ainda posso te ouvir
Dizendo o que na hora eu nem senti
Será que nunca mais vou ser feliz?
Ah, se eu pudesse voltar atrás
Eu tinha tudo, tudo e um pouco mais
Desse Amor
