• Resumen

  • Franco’s dictatorship meant the systematic violation of Human Rights in Spain for decades. Therefore, some specialists have stated that the events which took place during this period, as well as those which occurred during the previous Civil War, constitute actions that can be catalogued as blatant violation of human rights within a context of political violence. And which would turn them into imprescriptible and not susceptible to amnesty. After describing such context as a general framework, this article seeks to analyze the repression suffered by the opposition to the regime through the lens of human rights’ violations. And it focuses on its implications for its victims during such a volatile but crucial historical juncture: the period of Political Transition. Politically motivated acts of violence were on a treadmill from the coup d’etat in 1936 until after the approval of the democratic constitution in 1978. Only by means of this approach can the real dimension of the victimization of certain groups during the political transition be fully understood.
