It is not easy for those who participated in the repression of Franco's regime to take responsibility. To judge them in the Spanish state has been impossible until now. But it is also a real odyssey for them to return the medals that have been revoked in democracy. The councillor of Democratic Memory, Jordi Rabassa, has expressed his regret at this situation. For over four years, the City Council of Barcelona has reached different agreements to withdraw the Medalla d'Or de la Ciutat to different people, most of them related to the dictatorship's repression and given honours by the Francoist city council. These decisions, however, have been ignored and neither the recipients nor their families have handed them back. The only exception is Jordi Pujol, who returned his voluntarily, despite the fact that there was no agreement in the plenary session of the City Council to revoke it.
