Abstract

The Franco regime, established in Spain after the military uprising of July 1936 and the victory in the ensuing Civil War in April 1939, was in force until the death of Francisco Franco in 1975. It was characterized as a repressive regime, based especially on the Special Jurisdiction and in some repressive Special Laws, whose most outstanding examples were the Law of Political Responsibilities of February 9, 1939 and the Law on Repression of Masonry and Communism of March 1, 1940. This special repressive legislation was applied to a collective that was especially persecuted and forbidden, the Freemasons, considered as the great enemies of the regime.
