The red blood of a new stage

Today, August 15, 74 years met the notorious as "the massacre of Badajoz " , or whatever it is, the mass murder and systematic who made the fascist troops under General Yague to take the city, which had remained within republican legality.

was a butcher. Socialists, Republicans, communists, trade unionists ... Anyone smell to "red" was taken from his home, closed for several hours, and finally shot in the bullring in the cemetery, or any corner, because when it comes to murder all worth. Women "red " or killed them, after violation of one or more of the Glorious National Army soldiers, or shaved their hair and forced to walk the streets, so that their the neighbors laughing humiliated them, spitting and hitting them . Of course, the assets of the Reds went into the hands of the vanquished, as they did with the mayor of Badajoz , Sinforiano Madroñero, who previously also killed.

Between 2,500 and 4,000 people died within 78 hours . Badajoz was already a ghost town, where the bodies, heat and smoke were unbearable environment where no one was sure . Within hours, the city lost approximately 15% of its population , and became, as it remains one of those bitter ironies, a free city in the dictionary fascist.

This morning, a hundred people we have approached the old cemetery of Badajoz, in a small ceremony in remembrance of those killed Badajoz. A simple act of short duration, without pomp. I noticed absences. The most obvious of the President, whose duty it is to be there, not as an obligation of agenda, but as an act of full conviction because this is the symbolic act more Socialist Party Clapper 0z.

But there should be many more people. If I hurry, should be any political the province of Badajoz . Because this mass murder, this repression symptomatic is something that should be above colors, is an evil act without precedent in Extremadura , the darkest that man has ever done here.

Rest in peace.
