National Court Judge Baltasar Garzón is compiling a list of those to disappear during the Spanish Civil War.

Spanish Minister for the Interior, Alfredo Pérez Rubalcaba, has denied that with the creation of a census of those to disappear during the Spanish Civil War, judge Baltasar Garzón is ‘opening old wounds’.

Rubalcaba considers that quite the opposite is taking place in a process which will heal and close such wounds.

Speaking on Punto Radio, the Minister gave his support to the National Court Judge and attacked the Partido Popular leader.
Mariano Rajoy, who said the measure would ‘open the wounds of the past’.

Rubalcaba said that he did not understand why people, after so many years, were worried by a person who is looking for his father. ‘That should not bother anyone’, he said.
