One hundred socialist activists and supporters packed the room for discussion "Antonio Guirao.

Ovejero Martínez, who has developed a laborious investigation to unearth the historical memory, recognizes that "the repression was so great, that the retaliation resulted from the self-imposed silence, as a security measure."

For the researcher of Murcia, "Franco's repression was a network, which if not caught you caught you a site on the other.

During the first part of the crackdown, there were no trials or anything resembling it, after the war began and issued some laws, but ironically only served to condemn repression of those who were victims of it. "

Repression in Sewer

With 10,000 inhabitants, Sewell had more than 250 defendants: "There was at least one for every street, there was no family that did not have any of their members prosecuted."

Ovejero Martínez fully rejected the idea that the Civil War both sides were equally violent: "The Republicans had civilian courts, not military, not anyone condemned to death, and only prosecuted one person: Angel Galindo .

For Ovejero Martínez, "The army was the one who did the dirty work.

All processes were military, so are reluctant to teach the documents they have.

Moreover, even today the Army has a guilt complex.

In fact, the military court protection Cartagena 14,000 abstracts, which in theory are public because they have spent over 50 years, but if anyone wants to see a summary of a family member you need permission from the judge. "

Another important part of the repression were the judges: "They all had surnames, Murcia chieftaincy had a very large hand, and copaba all courts."

The Falange in Sewer

Ovejero Martínez said during his speech the role of the Falange cruel, as "acting as a police officer, investigator, secretary of the courts and as an informant.

In fact, every death sentence in each process, the court always reports the report asked the priest, the mayor and other authorities, the report cruelest always correspond to the Falange, and especially the Sewer. "

Massive repression

Ovejero Martínez explained that "the reprisals were mainly men of working age, in fact, 1 in 5 men between 26 and 40 years was arraigned on charges of undesirable, dangerous or hostile to the national cause.

But if a case was dismissed, always was delineated with the word "provisional."

Hence the massive nature of repression.

In Sewer, between 10% and 15% of the defendants had more than one family member in the same situation. "

"The average sentence in Sewer and Murcia was 13 years, were handed sentences of more than 360,000 years in prison, and met toshers 3,000 years of prison.

The mean compliance was 25% of sentences because prisons were not for all.

Prisons are now hotels compared to then "

Exiles

Many of the toshers who lost the war went into exile in France, "sailed to Oran in other fishing boats, and as Pétain was a friend of frank, kept in labor camps in France."

A report of the Franco recalled: "The Spanish Republicans worked from 5 am to 6 pm.

Acarrerar forced to cut stones and at least 3 square meters. "

Ovejero Martínez confirms that "they were slaves, which were not released until France was liberated by the Allies.

When De Gaulle became president, the Republicans left Algeria to the French mainland. "

Shot

The emotional highlight of the evening came when Martinez Shepherd cited the names of five shot in Sewell.

The son of Joseph Peter Coy is now a beloved member of the PSOE Sewer, and was present in the room.

The remains of his father are in a common grave in the cemetery of Espinardo.

"It is false the myth that people were shot because he arrived late for clemency, was the opposite, did not run any death sentence if there was no signature of Generalissimo.

Hence the direct responsibility of Franco in a thousand deaths, only in the Region of Murcia. "
