The second republic is founded after years of militar rule. Rights are extended: women's vote, abortion, divorce. Representative democracy is guaranteed by the new Republican Constitution. Four years after that a Coup d'Etat leaded by General Franco abruptly ended that period of development for the country. Then it came forty, forty, forty long years of a grey militar-religious rule in which Spain was literally frozen. While all other european countries were reactivating their economies and recovering from World War II Spain remained poor and undeveloped. An ignorant, isolated, poor and in many ways miserable country that didn't wake up until the late 70's, when democracy was restored.
In memory of all of those who died fighting against franco. In memory of all of those who suffered forty years of tortures and political repression. We will never forget.
THANK YOU PATRIOTS.
