Commemorating Atocha massacre
Eddy Redmond and Kevan Nelson represented the Communist Party of Britain in Madrid January 2020 alongside the PCE (Communist Party of Spain) to commemorate the Atocha massacre in the city 43 years ago, and the 1939 execution of the "Thirteen Roses", who were women of the Unified Socialist Youth (JSU) and PCE fighting against Franco during the Spanish Civil War.
January 24th 1977, in an office located on 55 Atocha Street near the Atocha railway station in Madrid, specialists in labour law, members of the Workers' Commissions (Comisiones Obreras, CCOO) trade union, and of the then-clandestine Communist Party of Spain (PCE) had gathered.
Armed with Ingram M-10 sub-machine guns, three assassins entered the building looking for Communist leader Joaquin Navarro, head of the CCOO's Transport Syndicate, which had recently called for a strike against the "Franquist transport mafia", denouncing the Sindicato Vertical official trade union. Failing to find him, they decided to open fire on those present, killing five and injuring four.
On the morning of August 5th 1939 thirteen women were shot dead against the walls of the Eastern Madrid Cemetery. Nine were minors, because at that time the age of majority was not reached until twenty-one. Ranging in age from 18 to 29 they were charged with being involved and conspiring against the “social and legal order of the new Spain".[3]
