May Revolution
The May Revolution was not the product of the actions of a single political party with a clear and defined agenda, but a convergence of sectors with varying interests. Thus, there are a number of conflicting perspectives about it, because different authors highlight different aspects. Mitre, for example, referred to "The Representation of the Landowners" (an 1809 economic report by Mariano Moreno) and the role of the merchants to support the view that the May Revolution intended to obtain free trade and economic integration with Europe; right-wing revisionists center around Saavedra and the social customs of the time to describe the revolution under conservative principles; and left-wing revisionists use the example of Moreno, Castelli and the rioters led by French and Beruti to describe it as a radical revolution.
Eighth of May Movement
The Eight May movement (Dutch Acht-Mei-beweging) was a Dutch umbrella organization within the Dutch Roman Catholic Church with the aim to reform it. It was founded in 1985, because of dissatisfaction with the ruling conservative current in the Dutch Catholic church. The immediate reason was the visit of John Paul II to the Netherlands in 1985.
