On the 50th anniversary of Franco's death, re-sharing this article @EoghanGilmartin and I wrote about Francoism and justice. Sadly, Manuel passed away without ever seeing justice for his brother. Fausto, fortunately, was able to recover his father's body. tribunemag.co.uk/2021/08/misrem…

In 2022, the Spanish government introduced a national Democratic Memory Law to bring justice to Franco-era victims. This came after 2 decades of a social movement trying to recover bodies and achieve reparation of the defeated. theguardian.com/world/2022/oct…

At around 1630 today on 26 April 1937, the Nazi Condor Legion with never admitted support of General Franco began its murderous destruction of the Basque town of Gernika. This is a cutting from The Times of the famous article by George Steer denouncing the atrocity the next day

On this day 87 years ago, German and Italian planes bombed the northern Spanish town of Gernika at the behest of General Franco. This is the story of the Picasso painting it inspired, the town’s football team and the painful process of memory since then. theathletic.com/5438566/2024/0…

Right-wing parties 'whitewash' Spain's fascist past with law erasing Franco dictatorship. Castilla y León govt says no consensus on blame for civil war while threatening to impede exhumations and historical investigation on privacy grounds @Emilio_Silva_ telegraph.co.uk/world-news/202…
