The politics of democratic memory in Spain: between impunity and international obligations
Abstract
Since the beginning of the Transition to democracy in Spain, a series of reparation measures have been taking place aimed at victims of the civil war. With a more consolidated democracy and favoured by left-wing governments, these laws have been expanded, condemning Francoism and vindicating the Second Republic. However, Spanish democracy is still far from reaching international standards and social demands regarding democratic memory. Our objective is to analyze these state laws from 1976 to the present day, seeing their evolution and following a qualitative methodology of content analysis.
