Abstract
MORALES RUIZ, Juan José. The Law of Repression of Freemasonry and Communism (March 1, 1940). A Study of some historical-legal aspects. REHMLAC [online]. 2020, vol.12, n.1-2, pp.166-205. ISSN 1659-4223. http://dx.doi.org/10.15517/rehmlac.v12i1-2.41040.
In this article I study the Law of Repression of Freemasonry and Communism (March 1, 1940) and the Law of Political Responsibilities (February 9, 1939) against Freemasons in Franco's Spain. The regime arbitrated a series of measures: seizing assets, economic sanctions, imprisonment, and executions. This was carried out in a complex judicial framework such as the Boards of Seizure of Assets, the Special Court against Freemasonry and Communism, the Courts of Political Responsibilities and later, the Court of Public order. A good part of their documents has been preserved in the Archives Center of Historical Memory and in other state archives.
