Description

The letters between Presidents Maragall and Rodríguez Zapatero on the return of the “Salamanca Papers” symbolize an act of historical reparation and institutional recognition. This epistolary exchange, preserved in the National Archives of Catalonia, reflects the desire to restore democratic memory and the documentary heritage looted during the dictatorship. The return of these documents reinforces the role of Catalonia in the recovery of historical memory and in the construction of a Europe based on justice, truth and reconciliation.
