    I do not understand how a name of a Francoist and Falangist person is posed with Joan Fuster, totally passant of the historical memory of carrying names of a Francoist in carrers, places, buildings, and in official offices, autonomous communities and municipalities. a measuring rod that if they are not of us, it is leads and if they are of us, it is left or it is dissimulated, puix that it is complex the lei of historical memory per a tots NOW!
