87
years ago

13 December 1937,

The tragedy Pedro Garmendia and a member of the ANV were killed by vile garrote. The Franco regime recovered this instrument of execution of the death sentences and Garmendia was the first to die in this way.

In addition, he was fined 5,000 pesetas and his family had to pay that debt five years later.
