Description

The accusations of receipt of war subsidies by militiamen and their families, issued by the Central Committee of the Anti-Fascist Militias in 1936, are documents that demonstrate popular mobilization against the threat of fascism. These militias, made up of volunteers, represented a collective and determined response to defend individual and collective rights and freedoms. The subsidies, managed in an organized manner, show a structure of mutual support and solidarity at a time of maximum tension. This document reflects the active participation of citizens in the defense of democracy and connects with the European values ​​of resistance, justice and social commitment. It is also an example of how civil society can become a protagonist at critical moments in history.
