Palabras Asesinas: Una aproximación al tema de la represión de la masonería en la guerra civil y durante el franquismo Translated title: Killer Words: A New Approach to the Issue of the Repression of Freemasonry During the Spanish Civil War and the Franco Regime

Abstract

Resumen En este artículo estudio el tema de la represión de la masonería en la guerra civil y durante el franquismo, desde el análisis del discurso antimasónico publicado durante este período histórico, que abordo en mi libro “Palabras Asesinas”. Creo que contra la masonería se desarrolló un discurso que perseguía la aniquilación moral de los masones, además de la brutal represión física que se llevó a cabo. Eran palabras que hieren, palabras que matan, palabras asesinas.

Abstract In this article I study the repression of Freemasonry during the Spanish civil war and the Franco regime, through an analysis of the anti-Masonic discourse published during this historical period, which I address in my book “Killing Words”. I argue that a discourse against Freemasonry was developed during those periods that sought the moral annihilation of the Freemasons, in addition to the brutal physical repression that took place. Such words were words that hurt and kill, they were killer words, as I discussed in this article.
