The Parliament of Cantabria has initiated proceedings to repeal the regional Historical Memory Law, a move supported by the Popular Party (PP) and Vox.

This law, originally enacted in 2021 by the PSOE and the Regionalist Party of Cantabria (PRC), aimed to address historical injustices from the Spanish Civil War.

The repeal effort has sparked significant controversy, with critics accusing the right-wing parties of historical revisionism and negationism.

The PP and Vox argue that the law unfairly prioritizes victims from one side of the conflict, advocating for a more balanced approach.

Meanwhile, civil society groups, such as the Memoria y Democracia platform, have mobilized to defend the law, emphasizing the importance of historical memory for future generations.

The repeal process, now moving to the parliamentary committee stage, has drawn parallels with similar actions in other regions like Aragón and Valencia, despite ongoing national legislation.

The debate continues to highlight deep divisions over Spain's historical narrative and the legacy of the Franco era.
