The Government to recognise the UK's 1 million Spanish/Portuguese speakers.
We are requesting the official recognition nationwide in all ethnic monitoring forms of the UK's community rooted in the Spanish and Portuguese speaking countries together with an official history month (Amigo Month), as approved by the current PM when Mayor of London and is still valid in London.
Latin; Iberian; Hispanic; Lusophone; South/Central or Native American; Spanish; Portuguese; Brazilian and Luso-African peoples together are the UK's largest ethnolinguistic minority. They do not want to be considered as “others”, but as one block as happens now within the Greater London Authority, and also in the USA where 60 million of them have an official heritage month to celebrate their rich culture and contributions, and can tick a special census category as well as their own nationality.

The UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for designating specific history months.
