Ley de Memoria Histórica

The Ley de Memoria Histórica (Historical Memory Law) is a Spanish legislation aimed at recognizing and addressing the injustices and abuses committed during Spain's Civil War (1936-1939) and subsequent dictatorship. It seeks to honor victims, recover historical truth, and promote reconciliation by facilitating the exhumation of mass graves, removing symbols of repression, and providing legal support for those affected. The law also encourages education about this period to ensure that the suffering and injustices are remembered and learnings are preserved, fostering a more just and transparent historical narrative.
