Progress of the case against Franco's murderers

Argentina Chamber of Cassation recognized the right to sue in the courts of that country.

It was decided by Chamber IV, composed of judges Mariano Borinsky (president), Gustavo Hornos and Juan Carlos Gemignani, with the vote of the first two.
This means that they consider that the Spanish elections of 1977 They cannot be taken as a limit to investigate crimes against humanity.
After 40 years, the relatives of the murdered companions Gustavo Muñoz and José Salmerón, They will have the possibility to demand justice in Argentina. Judge Servini de Cubría must determine the steps to follow.
It is an achievement for which we salute Marc Muñoz, to José's relatives, to the colleagues of the Casal Argentino in Barcelona, to her lawyer and to all those who promoted the case in different instances. We also feel part of this triumph.

It is a shame that relatives have to file a complaint from more than twenty thousand kilometers away.. It's not a coincidence...

The dictator died in 1975, but he left his mark on the institutions of the monarchical-parliamentary regime of the Constitution of 1978. After that year there continued to be repression and murders.
In fact, Our current has a PST-E comrade murdered in Madrid on February 1, 1980, when I had 19 years, at the hands of Emilio Hellín Moro of Fuerza Nueva, who later continued providing services to the Spanish State as if nothing had happened.
The crimes remain unpunished because neither the justice system nor the respective governments of the PP and PSOE want to investigate and punish the guilty..

The justice of the Spanish State is monarchical, addicted to the government in power and is at the service of the oppression of the people.

Judge Pablo Llarena paints her full body. He is the judicial person responsible for the 1-O charges ordered by M. Rajoy against the Catalan people who voted, of the existence of political prisoners, prosecuted and exiled, both leaders and activists for self-determination.
This justice system does not want to have anything to do with opening the archives of Francoism or punishing the crimes of fascism..
Returning to Argentina, The success of the judges does not reflect the goodness of justice, who is as complicit with political power as anyone else within the bourgeois democratic regime.
What it does express is that the Argentine people are a global bastion of the fight against impunity.. He managed to kick out the dictatorship and imposed trial and punishment on the genocidaires, Beyond the fact that the bosses' parties always try to go back on these great democratic conquests.
For sure, It is a great global example that causes millions of people to continue mobilizing in the face of every antidemocratic outrage., even thousands and thousands of young people who were not direct victims of the bloodthirsty militants. It is this historical and present force that limits the margin of officials and magistrates, the one that pressures not to let crimes against humanity pass, wherever they occur.

We are proud of our brother party, the MST of Argentina, since he accompanied the complaint from its beginning.

Our colleague Alejandro Bodart received deputies from the Spanish State in the Legislature when they promoted the cause, carrying out a large public campaign of support. Some days ago, Marc Muñoz traveled from Catalonia to Buenos Aires, for the purpose of testifying before the magistrates. He also gave a talk at the Socialist Youth premises. This is how we will continue, promoting internationalist solidarity from Anticapitalistas en Red.
