The Senate also condemns with this motion "the various repressive practices" of Franco's regime, the speeches "close" to fascism and xenophobia, makes a recognition of the victims of the Franco regime and calls for an "update" of the Law of Historical Memory.

The socialist spokesman, Fernando Martínez, former general director of Memoria Historico, has defended the motion and has assured that there is a duty to pay homage "to those who fought for democracy" in the civil war, in the dictatorship and since exile. The senator has demanded that an annual tribute be established to the victims of the dictatorship but also to the exiles, with whom the State has a great debt. "They maintained their convictions and effectively contributed to the reconquest of freedoms and the building of politics in the early stages of transition." For Fernando Martínez "it is a great contribution to the democratic memory of Europe".
