Per Catalunya! / Martyr of fascism

Al poblet natal de Lluís Companys es troba un jardi memorial en record de la seva figura i del seu assassinat per el regim feixista de Franco. Recordem que el paripé de consell de guerra que l'hi va fer aquest regim encara no ha estat anulat per l'estat espanyol.

 

Ah, i recordar també que aquest monument en record de Companys ha sofert nombrosos atacs per part de gentussa feixista, en especial a partir del avenç de Catalunya cap a la independència.

==================================

 

This is the memorial to the President of Catalonia Lluís Companys i Jover, executed with a mock trial by the fascist Spanish government in 1940. He was President of the Catalan government from 1933 to 1934 and from 1936 to 1940 (but in exile from 1939). With the fascist ocupation of Catalonia, he went to the exile in France, but just a year later, in 1940, France too was invaded by Germany. The Gestapo captured him and was executed in Monjuic Castle (Barcelona) by firing squad. He was the only democratically elected president executed in Europe!

 

But even now this memorial in his hometown of El Tarrós has been desecrated by fascist several times in the last few years. These attacks have been fueled by the Catalan independence movement, which the fascists hate.

I've been in the house in La Baule where he was arrested by the Gestapo in 1940:
