DISSOLUTION OF THE PLATFORM FOR VICTIMS OF ENFORCED DISAPPEARANCE OF FRANCO (PVDFF)

The birth of the Platform for Victims Enforced disappearances of Franco was in the open judicial proceedings in the High Court following complaints filed in December 2006 and July 2007 by a number of associations of families of victims of dictatorship. Judge of the Court of Instruction No. 5, prior to its decision to open the proceedings, ordered the complainants practice numerous measures that required the pooling of information from all of them and, therefore, the need to coordinate and work together.

All organizations were complainants on April 12, 2008 provided the platform guided by the conviction that it would be an important tool in the development of important process that is open to English society, and above all, by the will driving this process to its conclusion.

Platform has played the role of interlocutor with the public, for the industrious and hopeful time in which its members have carried out an effort, far superior their means, to meet the best and most effective way possible to the requirements of Court of Inquiry, which incidentally has not acted with due consideration to this reality. The turning point in the development of the Platform has been determined for the same has occurred in the proceedings. Indeed, the Order of Inhibition of examining magistrate on November 18 has highlighted the divergence in terms of objectives pursued by the groups of victims of Franco.

Some associations were in favor and in accordance with the actions of Judge. Have been expressed publicly in this way, even with statements in support of Judge, regardless of the platform, while generating confusion that represented the collective opinion of all complainants. In this sense, we have embarked on a strategy of seeking the initiation of pits across the country.

Other organizations, however, aware that the process started goes beyond, because we have the real possibility that the crimes of the Franco finally be judged, not to history, but in a court of law, we have opposed Inhibition Auto magistrate of the Court No. 5 of the Audiencia Nacional, which we consider socially deplorable, legally incomprehensible. For this reason, we have appealed against that order, considering that prosecution of the crimes of the Franco regime in the context of crimes against humanity and given the existence of crimes of abduction of children abroad to separate from their parents, are the responsibility of the National Court as determined by the Law Judicial Power. And, for the same reason, we value today further court actions that lead to the achievement of our goals that are no others to get to the victims of Franco, justice, truth and reparation enshrined in International Law Human Rights. In this endeavor, none of the organizations that we have embarked on it, we will relent. We owe men and women who gave their lives for a better world.
