• The response of the Popular Party and Vox to the UN's recommendations on the 'laws of concord' has reopened a debate about human rights violations during the Civil War and the Franco dictatorship.
• The UN report indicates that laws passed by PP governments supported by Vox have ordered the suppression of historical memory projects and activities.
• The Popular Party, led by Alberto Núñez Feijóo, continues to use the arguments of the far-right Vox and to relativize the dictatorship.
• The strategy of the PP damages both the coexistence among the Spanish and Spain's international reputation.
• Respect for the truth of facts should take precedence over any political goal, especially when we are talking about human rights violations.

Conclusion: It is crucial that political leaders and parties comply with international obligations on the preservation of historical memory of serious human rights violations, avoiding revisionism and manipulation for electoral purposes.
