• The government is obsessed with imposing a certain collective memory, replacing facts and used for political manipulation.
• Pedro Sanchez made an unannounced visit to the Valley of the Fallen while his administration was announcing plans to repeal the Democratic Memory Law in various regions.
• The state regulation is a continuation of historical revisionism initiated with Zapatero, which buried the legacy of the Transition.
• Bildu was fictitiously granted the prerogative to extend Francoism until 1983.
• Concord laws driven by PP and Vox retroactively extend their scope back to 1931, the proclamation of the Second Republic.
• History must not be manipulated to serve the political interests of parties.

Conclusion: A true democracy does not require legislation to fix the historical narrative, and the processes for exhuming graves should be facilitated without the necessity of distorting history.
