Abstract

[In today’s Spain there is a lack of public discourse recognizing the unbalanced treatment suffered by the victims of Franco, both during the civil war and the repression that followed, during the dictatorship, transition and four decades of democracy. There has also been limited discussion regarding their legal rights as victims. This chapter argues that in Spain official narratives and amnesty have not only resulted in the denial of the legal status of victims and their social definition as such, but largely in the refusal to self-define as a victim by those who suffered violations and repression by Franco’s troops and government.]
