Historická paměť, nebo manipulace? Španělsko uzákonilo jediný „správný vklad“ vlastní velmi složité minulosti
Historical memory or manipulation? Spain has enacted the only "correct deposit" of its own very complex past

Summary/Abstract: The article examines Spain's transition from dictatorship to democracy following the death of Francisco Franco in 1975. It highlights key moments such as the desire for national reconciliation, the "thick line" policy that prevented the punishment of Francoist crimes, and the gradual compensation of war and dictatorship victims. The article discusses the 2022 law on democratic memory, which mandates a "correct" interpretation of Spain's complex history, emphasizing the Second Spanish Republic as a democratic regime. It also addresses the political and social transformations during the transition, including the challenges faced by reformists and the opposition. The article underscores the importance of historical memory and the ongoing debate over the interpretation of Spain's past. It concludes by reflecting on the broader implications of these historical narratives for contemporary Spanish society.
