Democratic Memory in educational settings and in teacher training. It gives meaning to the “Cuelgamuros” Valley and extinguishes the Santa Cruz Foundation, as well as all the foundations that are dedicated to the apology of Francoism… These are the real contents of the Democratic Memory Law project registered by the Government in the Cortes, as well as the amendments presented by the groups that support it. From there, several undesirable controversies have arisen, because they do not adhere to the truth of what was proposed or because they carry an evident malicious intention. It is said that the project “breaks” with the Democratic Transition, and it is radically false. Quite the opposite. The text vindicates the Transition, the 1978 Constitution and the 1977 Amnesty Law, which is an indelible part of that process that gave birth to our current system of rights and freedoms. It is claimed, on the other hand, that the proposal "consolidates" the impunity of the crimes of Franco's regime, when in reality it denounces them, repudiates them and.
Let's go to the Amnesty Law. There are those who propose reforming this key law in our Transition to democracy to now, more than forty years later, delete sections e) and f) of its second article. These sections declare “included in the amnesty” the crimes and misdemeanors that “the authorities, officials and agents of public order” may have committed. But what is actually intended with this partial repeal of the Amnesty Australia Phone Number Law? If, as some say, the purpose is to condemn “the Francoist leaders who remain alive” in this way, a serious error is made. Articleof the Constitution guarantees “the non-retroactivity of sanctioning provisions that are not favorable or restrictive of individual rights”, so any legal reform that comes into force in or would be inapplicable in the intended sense. If, as others interpret, what is actually intended is to denigrate the Spanish Democratic Transition and what they call “the regime of 78” in this way, it does not seem fair or acceptable to us. Spanish society as a whole, and many left-wing militants in particular, had to fight hard, with much sacrifice, to conquer that “regime” that today ensures our rights and freedoms. We are not going to question that worthy fight, those terrible sacrifices, and their legitimate fruit in the Constitution that protects our democracy. The Democratic Memory Law project draws directly from International Humanitarian Law and its guiding principles of truth, justice, reparation and the duty of non-repetition.
And there is no reason that can be explained to oppose its processing, improvement and final approval. Nothing is expected in this regard from the extreme right nostalgic for the dictatorship, as is logical. This law goes directly against their interests. Much more can be expected from the democratic right, however. The democratic right was a participant in the Transition and the Constitution of '78, although they did not vote for the Amnesty Law and a good part of the constitutional text that today they even try to patrimonialize. There is no reason for the PP not to join, as the German, French or Italian right does, in the efforts to condemn totalitarianism and strengthen democratic values; with a good Memory Law, the way it has been done throughout Europe since the end of the Second World War. And, of course, the active collaboration of progressive formations is essential to complete and improve the proposal.
