Brussels, Brussels, Belgium, 5th Dec 2024 – Last November 29, 2024, at the Church of Scientology of Spain, located just meters from the National Parliament in Madrid, the 11th edition of the Religious Freedom Awards, was held.

 

This event, organized each year by the Foundation for the Improvement (Foundation MEJORA) of Life, Culture and Society (a Scientology foundation recognized by the United Nations), brought together academics, activists, and human rights defenders in an event that highlighted freedom of thought, religion and belief as a fundamental pillar of democracy and peaceful coexistence.

The winners of this edition were Ana Isabel Planet, Santiago Canamares and Fernando Amerigo-Cuervo. The event was attended by many personalities in the field of religious freedom, such as Daniel Pelayo (Deputy Director General of Religious Freedom of the Spain Ministry of Presidency), Gustavo Suarez Pertierra (former Minister of Education, Minister of Defense and Director of Religious Affairs at different times and current President of UNICEF Spain), Ana Fernandez Coronado, Luis Morente of the Federation of Buddhist Communities, among others.

A tribute in difficult times

The event was opened by Isabel Ayuso-Puente, Secretary General of the Fundacion Mejora, who highlighted the importance of these awards in an international and European context and the need to improve the application of the same by the states.

As it could not be otherwise, she also had words to remember and raise awareness about the recent tragedies in Valencia. Ayuso-Puente highlighted the solidarity shown by volunteers from various religions, including Scientology volunteer ministers, who have volunteered and coordinated more than 18,000 hours of service in the recovery efforts. “Solidarity and collaboration have shown that, in the face of adversity, we can all work together without differences,” she said in her emotional speech.

The president of the Foundation, Ivan Arjona-Pelado, who also represents Scientology before the EU and the United Nations, and who was elected president of the NGO Committee on Religious Freedom of UN Geneva last September, presented a special surprise: a publishing project funded by the Coexistence Project Foundation (of the Ministry of Presidency), which distributes a book compiling the works of the winners in the last 10 years to university libraries and which was coordinated by Arjona himself and by the Full Professor of Constitutional Law, Professor Alejandro Torres. According to Arjona-Pelado, “spreading knowledge about religious freedom is crucial to building a future of respect and tolerance”.

The award winners: a tireless defense of fundamental rights

Ana Planet Contreras

Full Professor of Sociology of Islam at the Autonomous University of Madrid, Ana Planet was awarded for her academic and research work on the rights of Muslim communities in Spain and the impact this work has on other minority faiths.

During her speech, Planet recalled key moments in her career, such as her research in Melilla and Ceuta and her work in the development of the legislative framework for religious pluralism in Spain. “Plurality and religious freedom do not endanger the cohesion and identity of European societies; on the contrary, they strengthen them,” she said.

Planet highlighted the impact of the 1980 Constitutional Law on Religious Freedom and called on the new generations to maintain the political consensus that allowed historic advances in fundamental rights. “Today, more than ever, we must combat hate speech and reinforce democratic values based on pluralism and equality,” she concluded.

Santiago Canamares Arribas

Full Professor of State Ecclesiastical Law at the Complutense University of Madrid, Santiago Canamares focused his speech on the current challenges facing religious freedom in the West. He analyzed cases in which religious beliefs are relegated to the private sphere and situations of labor discrimination, such as the use of the Islamic veil or conscientious objection in matters such as abortion and euthanasia.

“Religious freedom allows us to live according to our convictions and values, but it remains necessary to defend it even in democratic societies,” he said.

Cañamares also highlighted the role of European courts in promoting inclusive solutions, stressing that “religious freedom is a crucial human right that must be protected against any discrimination or arbitrariness.”

Fernando Amerigo-Cuervo Arango

A recognized expert in Ecclesiastical Law and Full Professor, as well as a prominent member of the Spanish Society of Religious Sciences, Fernando Amerigo-Cuervo gave a moving speech in which he linked human dignity with fundamental rights. “Freedom of conscience is an essential value in the construction of plural, tolerant and inclusive societies,” he said. He also warned about the risks posed by discourses of intolerance and xenophobia in modern democracies.

The professor thanked both his students and teachers, and paid tribute to historical figures such as Erasmus of Rotterdam, Voltaire and Rene Cassin, and contemporary ones such as Dionisio Llamazares, recalling that the principles of liberty, equality and fraternity are fundamental to overcome today’s challenges. “We are children of a tradition that defends human dignity as a pillar of our societies,” he concluded.

Special Recognition to L. Ron Hubbard

The event also included a tribute to L. Ron Hubbard, founder of the Scientology religion, for his contribution to the defense of human rights. This recognition, promoted by attorney Arroyo, was received by Jetmira Cremonesi, representative of L. Ron Hubbard‘s personal office in Europe.


 

Following the award, Arjona-Pelado noted that Mr. Hubbard’s legacy inspires Scientology members to fight injustice and promote universal values such as justice and tolerance “no matter who or what is put in front of them.”

The 11th edition of the Religious Freedom Awards underlined that the defense of religious freedom is essential to ensure inclusive and democratic societies. In the words of Fernando Amerigo-Cuervo, “beliefs sustain us as human beings and freedom of conscience is essential to build a just society”. This event not only recognized outstanding figures, but also reaffirmed the collective commitment to equality, human dignity and peaceful coexistence.

The Rise of Funded Trading Accounts: How Supertrade is Leading the Shift Away from Retail Trading Models

Published

April 30, 2025

By

Structural changes in the global trading landscape. As retail traders find it increasingly difficult to participate in the world of trading, the world of trading is undergoing a structural shift. Leading the charge is Supertrade – the next-generation prop trading platform that provides a profitable, sustainable solution away from ‘traditional’ retail models.

The retail trader has for years struggled with limited capital and extreme market volatility, not to mention a stark absence of institutional support. Traditional brokers offer not much more than plain execution, and that is simply not enough protection and support for individuals. It’s a landscape that has made growth consistent with the accounts hard, and survival even harder. 

Now, a better solution has emerged. Funded trading accounts are rapidly gaining traction, and Supertrade trading is leading this new wave with a comprehensive and accessible approach to professional trading.

While the retail scheme has traders funding their own accounts and accepting full risk responsibility, prop trading turns the equation on its head. They provide access to significant trading capital and offer exclusive risk management rules to traders (unlike retail trading accounts). This allows traders to only focus on their execution and performance.

The Supertrade platform offers two core funding routes, catering to different levels of experience and readiness

  • Instant Funding: For traders ready to begin immediately, with access to up to $100,000 in real capital without evaluation.
  • 2-Phase Challenge: A structured path to prove consistency and earn even larger allocations. 

Upon funding, traders benefit from:

  • Up to $100K in starting capital.
  • Profit splits of up to 80%.
  • Leverage up to 1:100 on Forex, 1:50 on indices, metals, and oil, 1:2 on crypto.
  • Clearly defined drawdown rules: 5% daily, 10% total.
  • Access to a wide range of markets, including Forex, crypto, oil, indices, etc. 
  • Transparent Supertrade pricing – with no hidden charges or maintenance fees.

Supertrade is, at heart, more than just a prop firm – it’s an all-inclusive ecosystem designed from the ground up by traders, for traders. The exclusive Supertrade terminal platform is built for accuracy with live pricing, ultra-rapid execution, and unlimited control. 

Beyond the tech stack, traders are supported with:

  • The Supertrade Academy – A dedicated learning hub with courses on risk, strategy, and challenge preparation.
  • An in-depth analytics centre and regularly updated blog, with insights from top-performing prop trading professionals.
  • 24/7 live support – Genuine assistance available at all times.

In addition, traders can benefit from Supertrade’s official page on TradingView, where in-house experts publish fresh trading ideas daily. Each post features detailed market analysis, annotated chart screenshots, and clearly defined trade setups across the most popular assets like Gold (XAUUSD), Bitcoin (BTCUSD), EUR/USD, and more. For example, traders can find real-time insights on potential breakout points, key support and resistance levels, and trend continuation scenarios. 

This structure ensures that both new and experienced traders are fully equipped not just to trade, but to grow.

Supertrade is a global proprietary trading platform designed to empower traders with access to substantial capital. Built by an experienced team of trading professionals, each with over five years of expertise in the industry, Supertrade combines transparent funding models, robust risk management, and comprehensive educational resources.
