They will compensate the victims of Francoism, those of Portugalete and Bilbao, among others
Angel Vector Torres, in the Congress of Deputies.
The Spanish Government has begun to compensate the victims of the Franco repression by amending the Act on Democratic Memory and extending the period of recognition until 29 December 1978, when the Constitution entered into force.
The Minister for Territorial Policy and Democratic Memory, Ángel Victor Torres, has explained in Congress that the Spanish Government has received about 50 applications , studied 18 and accepted 15 compensation.
Among them are several cases in the Basque Country, one of which is that of Victor Manuel Perez , 23, who was killed in Portugalete after being shot twice in the back while handing out pamphlets for a strike.
The family of Francisco Javier Núñez Fernández, who died after beingthe victim of police repression in Bilbao during an amnesty mobilization, has also been compensated. The minister has explained that Núñez was attacked by Franco agents after putting his three-year-old daughter in good health and that the next day he was arrested when he came to report the facts.
When he was arrested, he was tortured and forced to drink castor oil and cognac, and died a few days later from injuries.
In addition to the cases in the Basque Country, theSpanish Government has also recognized other victims , such as Manuel José García Caparrós, murdered in 1977 in Malaga during a demonstration for the autonomy of Andalusia.
The Spanish Government has set up a commission to evaluate the applications and plans to continue to study new files in the coming months in order to compensate the victims of political violence during the last years of Francoism and the Transition.
