"Mr President, in a year and a half’s time, on 18 July 2006, it will be seventy years since the fascist
led by General Franco, which was the prelude to the Second World War and the beginning of a savage civil war and almost four decades of dictatorship.
Millions of Spaniards directly or indirectly suffered from its tragic effects. Hundreds of thousands were murdered, imprisoned or interned in more than two hundred concentration camps throughout Spain, the last of which did not close until 1962. Mass terror, generalised hunger and systematic torture formed the triangle which Paul Preston calls the Spanish genocide. The bodies of the disappeared are still being unearthed to this day, and the body of one of them, the poet Federico García Lorca, is still being sought.
This Parliament has quite rightly spoken out against the horrors of extremism and Nazism. On that date, the European Union, which was born of peace, democracy and opposition to dictatorship, will have the opportunity to speak out against that beginning of one of Europe’s tragedies, with a great slogan, ‘Never again! Never again!’."@en1
