The event was attended by Deputies Consa Martínez Muñoz, Antonio José Espín and Fernando Moreno García who have deposited roses in the wall where you can still see the marks of the shooting.
On the day that the remains of the dictator of a public mausoleum have been exhumed, a group of members and supporters of the PSOE of Caravaca have made a simple and emotional tribute to all those killed during Franco's regime.
This act is the culmination of a long and necessary process necessary to close the wound that Spanish democracy had towards all the victims of the Franco dictatorship.
The place chosen for the emotional act has not been casual.
In Caravaca is one of the seven places of Historical Memory of the Region of Murcia, the repressive place par excellence of the Murcian northwest, symbol of repression and Franco's revenge.
On the night of October 1 to 2, 1936, Republican militias shot eleven caravaqueños in the esplanade of the Basilica-Sanctuary.
After the war, the current municipal cemetery was macabrely inaugurated with the execution, on October 21, 1939, of 36 men in the vast majority of Caravaca who were buried in the part that was destined for civil cemetery.
Different spaces and places in the Region of Murcia of great symbolism and significance for those who suffered violence and repression during the Civil War and the Franco dictatorship.
In addition to the Prison of the party in Caravaca, in the list are the bullring of Lorca or the Cenajo Swamp.
Historical sites to conquer for the promotion of democratic memory and the elimination of wounds that, after a long time, still remain unhealed by the clear survival of sociological Francoism.
The PSOE has ended this shame after more than forty years, an action that closes the Transition and allows us to look to the future while demonstrating, once again, that Pedro Sánchez has kept his word, and the dictator has left the Valley of the fallen.
