April 14 marks 91 years since the proclamation of the Second Republic. That day of popular jubilation gave way to a few years in which an attempt was made to carry out a democratic and reformist process, so that the country would leave behind decades of economic, political and cultural backwardness. Said reformist process was forcibly aborted through a military uprising backed by a civil plot, which the Spanish people were able to resist for three years. His defeat led to a criminal dictatorship that kidnapped popular sovereignty for 40 years. The Franco regime planned and executed a systematic and widespread policy of extermination and elimination of the political enemy, the Democrats. The repression continued until the end of the dictatorship and even extended beyond the death of the dictator, in the so-called transition. We note that, today, those who defended republican democratic legality, those who resisted the dictatorship, the hundreds of thousands of victims of Franco's regime, have not received worthy recognition from the State and society. Nor have the victims been able to exercise their inalienable right to Truth, Justice and Reparation.
For the victims of the dictatorship, the Charter of Human Rights does not exist, because it does not apply to them, its coverage does not reach them. The main culprit for this has been the Spanish State, with Parliament and its governments at the helm, followed by the Judiciary, with the invaluable collaboration of the major media. On the part of the State, an appeal is made to the model transition, reconciliation and forgiveness among Spaniards, as if the transition to democracy, reconciliation and forgiveness Costa Rica WhatsApp Number were possible, applying a policy of equidistance, oblivion and collective amnesia regarding the serious human rights violations committed by the Franco regime during its history since the coup d'état of '. The lessons of historical memory At the current time, the Democratic Memory Law project is paralyzed in the Congress of Deputies. From the State Meeting of Collectives of Historical Memory and Victims of Francoism we positively value the important legislative improvements that it represents with respect to the current law of 2007, but these improvements are insufficient, especially with regard to Justice and Comprehensive Reparation of the Victims of the dictatorship.
The current democratic memory bill does not address, with sufficient legal guarantees to overcome it, the so-called Spanish model of impunity. We fear that impunity will continue to be the norm after the approval of the current bill, if its articles are not improved with regard to the investigation and judicial prosecution of the crimes of Franco's regime. According to the state governments, there is never the right time for the victims of Franco's regime to obtain the rights recognized by International Human Rights Law: truth, justice and reparation. First was the transition and the decree of oblivion and amnesia that the Amnesty Law of 1977 represented; after many years had passed and there were hardly any victims or perpetrators alive (which is not true) and now, they talk to us about the fear caused by the presence of fascists in the institutions.when precisely this is the clearest consequence of the maintenance of the impunity of Franco's regime. We repeat, it is the last opportunity for justice to fall on the Francoist criminals still alive.
