Julia Bea Soto, Dora Serrano Serrano, Aurora Gómez Urrutia, Julia Fernández Zabaleta, María Luisa Elío Bernal, Josefina Guerendiain Caro, Nemesia Baztán Turrau, Ramona Zapatel, Matilde Huici Navaz and Maria Carmen Hucarder. These are the women reprimanded by Franco who will give names to the streets and squares of the Chantrea district of Pamplona.

Three years ago, when the urban plan of the South Chantrea was being developed, a group of neighborhood residents proposed to the Municipal Council of Women to provide public space to the historical memory of women. Therefore, the City of Pamplona commissioned the Public University of Navarra to conduct a study. The result is seven streets and three squares.

According to Zaloa Basabe, Councilor for Equality, Community Action, Neighborhoods, Citizen Participation and the Basque Country, the street is not only a map or guide to understanding the urban organization of the city: “The existence of streets, public buildings and squares in the Nomenclature allows citizens to know the characters and events that have influenced local history.”

He also stresses that the occupation of public space is another step towards equality: “These women have made a double contribution because of their double invisibility, their status as a woman and Franco.”
