On April 14, 1931, 95 years ago, the sky of Barcelona and the entire State was tinged with unprecedented hope. For many, the proclamation of the Second Republic was not just a change of regime, it was a modernizing shake-up that aimed to place Spain at the forefront of Europe. Between 1931 and 1933, that reformist impulse brought to light rights that seem natural to us today, but were groundbreaking then: women's suffrage, the divorce law, Azaña's profound military reform, and a religious reform that sought the secularism of the State. Milestones that were framed in the Constitution approved on December 9, 1931. Within that text, a declaration of intent that still resonates today with clear validity stood out above all. Article 6 literally stated: "Spain renounces war as an instrument of national policy".

The Vigatà family gave rise to a phenomenon that could go viral today. Four of the five siblings born at the end of the 20th century in the small town of Torregrossa (Pla d'Urgell) became school teachers, an unusual coincidence in an era when rural illiteracy was prevalent. The fifth sibling, Marcel·lí Vigatà was a councillor for the ERC party and died in the war.
