A book claiming the teacher and the anarchists killed with Lorca.
The author of the book, the journalist Francisco Vigueras, and grandchildren of Galindo and Francisco Galadi Dioscorus claiming the right to dig up the corpses.
The four shared the last night of his life, the terrifying night ride on death row, the bullets of the murderers. And finally, also shared the embrace of the same land. But only one had a public name that his death was even greater: Federico García Lorca. His three companions were pit anonymous bodies for many years, like so many thousands of people killed during and after the fascist uprising of 1936.
called Dioscorus Galindo, Francisco Galadi and Joaquin Arcollas, and today are a little less anonymous. In the place where it is believed that the four are buried next to the monolith Alfacar Lorca Park, Vigueras Francisco yesterday presented his book "The" paraded "in Lorca: the lame teacher and two flaggers, a work that makes stars those three secondary characters of the tragedy of the poet.
"Lorca is loved worldwide, is well known his life and his work. And yet, these characters are symbols of a really touching story were forgotten. Needed to have life of their own, justified Vigueras, TVE journalist and member of the Association for the Recovery of Historical Memory of Granada. The book, fruit of two years of research, provides accounts of the descendants of Galindo and Galadi-Arcollas not had-and master students and Santiponce Pulianas (Sevilla), its previous target.
A teacher and a symbol
Vigueras stressed that the history teacher's biography transcends its particular. "As I was rebuilding the lives of Dioscorus Galindo I realized that I was on a symbol," says the author, who recalled that during the Civil War, some 50,000 teachers were removed from their posts or executed for "crimes" as "not believing in the existence of God. "
Galindo said, was "a grown man in the independent teaching institution engaged in educational reform in the Republic, who believed in the popular and secular school and participated in literacy campaigns. He was a teacher and a humanist. " His former students recalled, "spoke of him with affection: he was the man who had taught them to read and write, that somehow it was like teaching them to be free men."
The "process" of Franco against the teacher was "a sham to justify the unjustifiable." "Days after the shoot issued a circular in which he was suspended without pay. Another gave him a deadline to make appropriate claims. Naturally, I could not defend themselves because they had already shot. "
As Galadi and Arcollas, the author noted that although they were remembered as flaggers and became quite famous in the world of bullfighting, the reason for his death was his membership of the anarchist CNT union. In fact, they were tinkers and toreaban to get extra money.
"The book," said Francisco Vigueras-pays homage to the union struggle of men in a very difficult time, which was arrogant cacique class workers handed and humiliating manner. " Arcollas Galadi and who resisted the Albaicín after the coup, "gave their lives for dignity of workers. " AGNES
