Last October, Vox tried to sabotage the Catalan Parliament's tribute to President Lluís Companys. 85th anniversary of his execution by the Franco regimeHe proceeded to hang highly visible posters around the chamber, labeling the executed president a "murderer" and accusing him of being responsible for the deaths of 8,352 Catalans. These actions led the Parliament's governing body to refer the members to the committee on the status of deputies to assess whether there had been a violation of the code of conduct. However, this newspaper has consulted several experts who believe it is possible to go further: to apply the Historical Memory Law and sanction Vox. The far-right's accusation is false: Companys led an operation to save tens of thousands of lives, including religious figures and right-wing citizens. The deaths of the eight thousand conservative Catalans, therefore, occurred despite Companys's immense humanitarian efforts. They were victims of the Red Terror, a period of uncontrolled violence following the failed 1936 coup in Catalonia between the violent radicalism of the CNT-FAI and the POUM, which Companys attempted to avert with mass evacuations. Arnau González Vilalta, the historian and author ofHumanitarianism, consulates, and dirty business (Editorial Base, 2020), states, in response to ARA's inquiry, that Vox's accusation "is manifestly unfair." He comments that "as the highest authority in the country, which was then practically independent, he was responsible for maintaining public order, but he did not control the streets." While emphasizing that he was "incapable" of safeguarding peaceful coexistence, he notes that he was "directly responsible for saving" lives. "He tried to save the lives of everyone he could; the Generalitat allows thousands of people to leave," he asserts.
