Last night I watched a movie about the last execution in Spain.
Salvador Puig Antich was a Catalan anarchist executed by the Francoist regime for the death of a policeman in 1974.Franco died in 1975 and the transition started in Spain....
the last weeks Judge Garzon, applying the new law of historic memory, described the Franco regime as a crime against humanity.
I always had my doubts about the wisdom and purpose of judicial activism in the form of transitional justice...the movie last night somehow changed my mind...
in the interests of justice some crimes cannot go unpunished........
