29 writers murdered in the Spanish Civil War that the left-wing never remembers

All the war crimes committed during the Spanish Civil War deserve to be remembered, but many of them are forgotten by some.

Spain: a totalitarian law that hides the war crimes of the left comes into force
The names of the 50 children killed by communists in the Paracuellos massacre

Yesterday, the socialist minister Óscar Puente remembered the poet Federico García Lorca, assassinated by the Nationalist side on August 18, 1936, stating: "The heirs of that barbarity would do it again today". Puente does not explain who he considers those heirs to be.

The fact is that today in Spain there are three parties with parliamentary presence that were implicated in war crimes during the Spanish Civil War: the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE, to which Óscar Puente belongs), the Communist Party of Spain (PCE, which has two female ministers in the government of which Óscar Puente is a member) and Esquerra Republicana de Catalunya (ERC, an ally of the government in which Óscar Puente is a member). None of these three parties have ever apologized for the crimes in which they were implicated: they haven't even acknowledged them. What's more, in 2022, these parties supported a law that omits any mention of leftist crimes in the Civil War, a law that they themselves titled the "law of democratic memory," with astonishing cynicism.

Of course, the writers murdered by both sides deserve to be remembered. Sadly, the left never remembers those killed by the Republican side, simply because their killers were leftists. In 2019, I published a list of them here. Since they continue to be marginalized by the government, I am republishing it now so that their names are not forgotten by the historical amnesia decreed by the left:

1. Salvador Vicente Alarcón Horcas: born in Baena (Córdoba) on April 5, 1884. Writer and Supreme Court judge. He was Catholic and remained loyal to the Republican government after the 1936 uprising.
