/0 Comments

The topic of the TV programme “La Sexta Columna” on Friday, June 3, 2016, was the Valley of the Fallen, and included Queralt Solé’s participation.

“The paradox of the Valley of the Fallen: after 40 years of democracy, it is still impossible to exhume the human remains

Since 1980, no one has managed to take a bone out of the Valley of the Fallen. Only six years after Franco’s death, it was possible. 40 years of democracy later, it is no longer possible. How can we explain this change?”

The forgetfulness of Spain

/0 Comments

The report produced for teleSUR seeks to reveal the political interests and the Francoist legacy that still exists in Spain 40 years later and prevents many victims to be recognized as such. It shows that there is no will to unearth the truth about what happened. While memory remains buried, thousands of victims and their families will not get justice as they deserve it.
