Ángel Víctor Torres has announced the collaboration of the Ministry of Territorial Policy and Democratic Memory to launch an interpretation center to rescue the memory of Víznar’s reprisals in Granada. Torres has visited the excavations run by the University of Granada, and where it has already been possible to exhume the remains of 114 people killed by the rebels during the Civil War.
“With the application of the Democratic Memory Law, we are looking for places like Víznar to become spaces for reflection and reparation for the victims,” said the minister, who has pledged to collaborate with the other public administrations to continue with the rescue of memory.
Torres pointed out that the project, funded with 190,000 euros by the Secretary of State for Democratic Memory, will not be completed until all the remains are rescued. “We will continue to excavate to the last pit of the Ravine of Víznar to restore the dignity of those who were killed for defending freedom,” he said.
