Generic floral offering at a democratic memory event, featuring red and yellow flowers.

The city of Terrassa paid tribute to the five victims killed in the 1977 fascist Atocha massacre, holding a concentration organized by CCOO this Saturday.

The homage took place outside the headquarters of Comisiones Obreras (CCOO) on Unió street, 49 years after the attack on a labor law firm on Ronda de Atocha, in Madrid. The event was intended as an exercise in democratic memory.
Several political representatives from the Terrassa City Council, including Mayor Jordi Ballart and the head of Democratic Memory, Montserrat Caupena, attended the gathering and participated in the subsequent floral offering.
The actual target of the terrorists, who had fascist and Francoist motivations, was not the lawyers they attacked, but a prominent member of CCOO, the communist and secretary general of the union's transport area, Joaquín Navarro Fernández.
This attack, carried out in 1977, aimed to destabilize the democratic transition process that Spain was undergoing during those crucial moments.
