Open Wounds – Dealing with the Francoist Past

How to deal with the legacy of the Civil War and the Franco dictatorship? 45 years after the dictator's death and the Pact of Forgetting, the calls to remember are getting louder. Carles Vallejo, tortured by Francoist police, gives his account. Lorcan Doherty is joined by Cristina Tomàs White and Alan Ruiz Terol to discuss the issues, from mass graves and Francoist symbols, to the annulment of crimes and how history is taught in schools.  For the latest news in Catalonia: CatalanNews.com Music used: Inspired by Kevin MacLeod [Creative Commons]
