Spanish police pay tribute to Francoist torturer Meliton Manzanas in Vitoria
- The celebration of the 200th anniversary of the Spanish National Police took place in Vitoria-Gasteiz on Saturday. It is the first time that the National Police have made a public act in Betoño or on Olaguibel Street outside its headquarters, on the street. Examples include Mayor Maider Etxebarria (PSE) and Councilor Iñaki Gurtubai (PNV).
The Spanish flag was raised at the time and 'praised the police killed by terrorism'. One of them has been Franco torturator Meliton Manzanas. Meliton Manzanas was Franco police, head of the Social Social Brigade BPS for the pursuit of political dissent. She also collaborated with Gestapo. He is known for being a torturer who acted with much barbarism in the Basque Country. If the testimonies of dozens of people were scarce, the report by the Basque Government’s Valuation Committee also states that ‘Manzanas led and participated in torture and ill-treatment sessions’. The death of Manzanas was the first act that caused a murder ETA took on.
In 2021, the Museum of Victims of Terrorism in Vitoria-Gasteiz, on the anniversary of his death, paid tribute to the Franco torturer Meliton Manzanas. Victims and relatives of torture, relatives of the victims of Meliton Manzanas, the Social Forum and memorials associations have denounced that the Museum has defined Manzanas as mere police inspectors, although with many testimonies it has shown that it used torture as an anti-detainees method, especially in a sadistic manner, which has left its mark so far.
Again, it creates a joke on social media.
