Did Anyone Meet Chelsea Charms

JUSTICE AS NEW ALCARRIA


January 14, 1940, New Alcarria newspaper published a column titled JUSTICE OF FRANCO, which praises the latest decrees proclaimed by the dictatorship. The newspaper, called the good man Franco of Spain, reports the beginning of the sowing of peace on earth, his word suffices for the spectrum of hate, hurricane sediment of the past give way to pity.

With the phrase: "[...] if the war muddied the waters, no matter! May peace become clear the [...] "wants to do a facelift on the talk of piety, nobility and generosity of the conquerors. Replaces Franco says the paper, strong and hard tizona of war to achieve another victory. Between the rows that opened the heavy carriages of the guns, throw flowers of charity, they are not foolish or stupid oblivion with the most liberal amnesty scam that of forgiveness.

"Listen, gentlemen mesnadas if victorious in the war will show you how you were, peace can not tarnish your record."

What the speaker does not publish the dictatorship, which is created, as they say, to dignify Guadalajara, is that the year 1940 is the most cruel repression under Franco in our province. In each city conquered by the rebels, were shot dozens of Republican leaders were imprisoned thousands, and so, after the initial massacre, began a furious pace of executions, where dozens of people were tried without due process of any kind and shot. Since 1939, the end of the war, the killings spread across the nation, including Guadalajara. Of these murders New Alcarria not publish even a miserable note.

The cemetery walls still have the marks of bullets on them, after crossing the bodies of innocents killed by the victorious army. In Guadalajara, faithful to the Republic since it was retrieved it in 1936, hundreds arrested People, families, parents and children were taken to the cemetery, shot and buried in mass graves, mainly in the old Civil Cemetery and later in the courtyard of St. Elizabeth. This situation lasted well into the early 40's. Given the atmosphere of terror that was created many years passed until the descendants of those killed have given us the duty to report.

Yet in the decade of the 50 still had a lot of our people in prison, in forced labor battalions or forced to pay heavy fines to the relatives left the Republicans in poverty.

One of the most sinister episodes dictatorship Franco was the death of men and women who defended the Republic in prisons and concentration camps. We remember those loyal to his principles and republican law who died in prisons, mainly due to the inhumane conditions in which they were imprisoned, torture and beatings. Little nobility or piety was the Franco with men and women of the Republic imprisoned.

In the 60 executions down to near extinction, and almost never for reasons related to war or the Republican government. The prisoners of the past, those who have survived long after they leave prison sentences. Then in 1975 following the death of the dictator and his succession by way of King Juan Carlos, political parties were legalized, it produced a soft transition, with the Franco regime that allowed metamorphic Christian Democratic parties, and in 1978 adopted a constitution by referendum, which prevents the settlement of accounts with those responsible for war, repression and the subsequent military dictatorship.

Thus, during the 80's, fear of the elderly and ignorance of what happened in post-Franco generations ago to continue hiding the massacres. Only isolated cases of families and parties of the left, make tributes and position reporting plates the tragic and unfair end of our fallen. It works try to hide, transfer of remains to the ossuary, creating blocks of niches above the pits, etc. This will deny the exhumation of the remains and prevents the investigation of the facts.

In the same publication indicated at the beginning of this text, pne in the mouth of Muñoz Grandes, "Spain, this time not resting on our laurels, he asks you hate resolváis problems that happen every civil war" . And it seems to ignore the repressive machine: from then on, the accelerated elimination of convicts to the ecstasy of terror comes in the month of May, when they are killed almost every those convicted. Finally, an example of justice Franco.
