This article describes the characteristics and scale of Francoist repression in Spain and analyses the potential interpretation of the mass killings of people with leftist ideology as an act of genocide in accordance with the provisions of international law. Focus is placed on the difficulties associated with the inclusion of political groups in the category of genocide victims, and the possibility of a broader interpretation of this categorization is defended. Furthermore, the present study emphasizes the influence of the positivist trend on the configuration of Francoist criminal policy and provides evidence that allows Francoist repression to be considered as genocide in full accordance with international law.

本文介绍了西班牙的法兰克主义镇压的特征和规模，并根据国际法的规定，分析了将具有左翼意识形态的人屠杀为种族灭绝行径的潜在解释。重点放在种族灭绝受害者类别中与政治团体包括有关的困难上，并且捍卫了对该类别进行更广泛解释的可能性。此外，本研究强调了实证主义趋势对佛朗哥的刑事政策结构的影响，并提供了证据，可以使佛朗哥的镇压完全按照国际法被视为种族灭绝。
