On 25 February 2026 , the Basque Government will bring together 500 young people in the BEC of Barakaldo (Bizkaia) to "dismantle the myths that soften Francoism on social networks", as announced by the Counsellor for Justice and Human Rights, María Jesús San José , during today's monitoring session.
The Councillor made this announcement in response to a question from the PSE-EE parliamentary group, who explained that a recent survey shows that young people, in certain circumstances, see the authoritarian regime better than democracy. San Jose has expressed concern and announced measures to combat this perception.
First, he points out that awareness campaigns for the active defence of human rightswill be promoted . He adds that is necessary to work on the delegitimization of violence through memory. That is why he has announced that on February 25 next year his department will bring together more than 500 ESO students in the BEC of Barakaldo (Bizkaia). "It will be an event organized to dismantle all myths that want to soften the Franco dictatorship."
It has also reported that the Basque Government is working together with the Government of Navarre, the Buchenwald Association (an organization working on the memory of deportation in the Nazi camps) and the Spanish Government to launch a joint programme on the "nonsense of fascism and Nazism", which will be launched in 2026 and will account for what happened at the Buchenwald concentration camp in Germany.
This project will recall the "hard life experiences" of 55 Basques deported to the Nazi camp, and students participating in the program will be able to travel there in April.
