Description

This document contains the resolution of the Civil Governor of Barcelona ordering the closure of the premises of the Association for the United Nations in Spain (ANUE) for three months, as retaliation for a meeting deemed illegal by 16 intellectuals opposed to the regime, in protest of the Burgos process. This repressive action highlights the persecution of any expression of dissent during the Franco regime, even in entities linked to international organizations. The document is a testimony of the anti-Franco struggle through civil and cultural entities, and is part of the theme of politics and governance and international relations. It shows how, despite the repression, Catalan society kept alive its democratic and pro-European vocation.
