‘laSexta column’ celebrates 400 broadcasts
For the broadcast of its 400th program, laSexta columna uses the Columns of History label with Grimau, 1963: the last shot of the Civil War, which reconstructs the last days of communist leader Julián Grimau on the sixtieth anniversary of his execution in April 1963. Almost three decades after the 1936 uprising, through a web of lies, torture and cowardly orders, the Franco regime sentenced Grimau to death in what can be considered a secretly sanctioned state crime, while establishing the Court of Order Public (TOP) as a new repressive element. And it is that after the Franco government publicly announced the new jurisdiction, it should have commuted Grimau’s death sentence. However, he preferred to hide his legal reform in order to execute the leader of the PCE. In this two-program special, the laSexta column will profile one of the greatest experts on Franco’s repression, Judge Juan José del Águil. Likewise, the room will give a voice to other victims of Franco’s justice and also to one of Grimau’s daughters, whose voice has been little heard in the last six decades.

“Soldiers of Salamis”
Spain, 2003 (112 minutes). Directed by David Trueba. Actors: Ariadna Gil, Ramón Fontseré, Joan Dalmau, Diego Luna, Maria Botto.
David Trueba’s intention in this film version of Javier Cercas’ popular novel was not to adapt it literally, but to go a little further with his personal reading of the life of Falangist writer Rafael Sánchez Mazas. To do this, he drew on both the true sources of the story – assembling scenes and characters familiar with those events – and the process of creating the novel itself, in a constant journey between today and yesterday. To this great script we must add the brilliant work of Ariadna Gil and Joan Dalmau and the photography of Javier Aguirresarobe.
