The Valencian Parliament has approved the controversial 'Concordia Law', replacing the previous Democratic Memory Law.

The new legislation, backed by the conservative PP and far-right Vox parties, aims to equate victims of political violence from 1931 to the present day.

Critics argue it whitewashes the Franco dictatorship by not explicitly condemning it.

The Spanish government plans to challenge the law in the Constitutional Court, with Science Minister Diana Morant calling it an 'infamy' that infringes on the rights of Franco's victims.

The law's passage comes amid political tensions, as Vox threatens to break coalition agreements with PP in several regions.
