Two of today’s stories:
- Lleida council refuses to name a street after local Guardia Civil, Jesús María Freixes Montes, murdered by ETA in 1986.
- Barcelona council announces it is to name a square after anarchist bank robber, Salvador Puig Antich, sentenced to death by a military court in 1974 for the killing whilst being detained of Guardia Civil, Francisco Anguas Barragán.
Both councils are governed by coalitions made up of Catalanista socialist, neo-fascist and neo-communist parties. Jules Bonnot would have been a celebrity here.
