Il Movimento Tradizionale Romano – M.T.R. è stato invitato a partecipare all’Assemblea del Congresso Europeo delle Religioni Etniche E.C.E.R che si tiene a Vilnius, in Lituania, dall’8 al 10 luglio 2014.
L’E.C.E.R. è l’unico organismo sovranazionale di raccordo delle diverse ed accreditate rappresentanze delle religioni pagane europee, di cui il M.T.R. è terminale italiano.
La delegazione è composta dal presidente del movimento Daniele Liotta, dal vice Guglielmo Giovannelli Marconi e da Anna Lucarelli. Dal 2005 è la quarta volta che il M.T.R. partecipa agli appuntamenti/congressi annuali dell’organismo (già W.C.E.R.), tenutisi in Grecia, in Lettonia ed in Polonia.
Di seguito il programma dell’evento, dall’evocativo titolo “Madre Terra uniscici”, che dedica per la prima volta una giornata anche ad un incontro “politico” con i rappresentanti del Parlamento lituano.
