The bill also aims to uncover the truth about the persecution and atrocities during the war and the government of Franco, with the appointment of a special prosecutor to investigate crimes from civil war outbreaks until 1978.
New constitutional agreement.

In education, new emphasis is planned to teach democracy, human rights, anti-fascism and 20th century struggle for freedom, government said.
It will apply not only for middle school and university courses but also professional training courses.
Separate decre, which does not require parliamentary approval but where parliamentarians can throw away, open the way to turn the Public Mausoleum Fallen Valley, Franco where the rest lie more than four decades, becoming a “civilian funeral” for the victim on both sides of the civil war.
