It is estimated that during his period of maximum police responsibility, between 1975 and 1979, about 90 people were killed by armed agents and para-police groups, although Martín Villa has not had to testify before the judge for these crimes and has not been convicted for it. The associations working on memory judge Martín Villa! The campaign has been launched and presented this Thursday at noon in simultaneous hearings in Pamplona/Iruña, Vitoria-Gasteiz, Madrid, Zaragoza and Valencia.

Among the accused are the massacre of the workers of Vitoria-Gasteiz in 1976, those killed in 1977 during the Week by Amnesty or the brutal police aggression of Sanfermin a year later. Among the groups that have launched the campaign are the Association 3 de Marzo, Sanferminak 78 gogogoan, Goldat, Egiari Zor, Ahaztuak collective, Oroituz de Andoain, Intxorta 1937 and Gernika Batzordea, as well as family members of individual people like Joseba Barandiaran, killed in Donostia in 1978. A video has also been released to launch the campaign (author: Hala Videos):

The former minister has been pleaded in Argentina for "crimes against humanity", but the promoters of the campaign consider that it is insufficient and that Martín Villa would have to be tried in the Spanish state to end his current impunity. To this end, they believe it is necessary to cast "the wall" of the 1977 Amnesty Spanish Law, which was approved in 1977.

They have stressed that the "exemplary image" of the transition is false and have set as an example the deaths from state violence that have occurred: "Rodolfo Martín Villa was one of the main architects of this repressive policy," says the manifesto of the election campaign in the Upper House. In the same statement, it is recalled that Martín Villa is one of the best examples of the evolution of the Franco’s senior officials: "Because they guess they're prominent entrepreneurs at the IBEX-35."
