These republican events, with which the Club Atalaya reclaims the memory of one of the most important democratic periods in the history of Spain, seeking to counteract the misdeed of erasing that memory.<\/p>\n
In fact, this Republican and Historical Memory Week has become an unmissable event for those Ciezans who wish to remember and pay tribute to those who, with their work, contributed to the development of the Second Republic and were later repressed by the Franco regime.<\/p>\n
The events scheduled for this edition will begin on Monday the 14th with the screening of the film "De espaldas al sol" (Back to the Sun), directed by Pablo Coca. Through the testimonies of five survivors\u2014four women and one man\u2014the film chronicles the tragedy experienced during the M\u00e1laga Desband\u00e1 and the subsequent exile to France. The screening will be followed by the traditional Republican toast.<\/p>\n
On Thursday the 24th, Fran Cort\u00e9s, researcher and collaborator with the Federation of Historical Memory Associations of the Region of Murcia, will give a presentation entitled Francoist Repression in Cieza: Background and Consequences.

The program will continue on Saturday the 26th with a flamenco gathering led by Paco Severo on vocals and Antonio Mu\u00f1oz on guitar.
