A represión dos mestres republicanos de Muros

Abstract

[Resumo] Muros foi o concello da provincia da Coruña cuxo maxisterio sufriu con máis contundencia a represión dos militares sublevados contra a República en 1936: o 48% dos seus docentes foron separados definitivamente do ensino. Neste artigo analízanse, en primeiro lugar, as sancións aplicadas e os cargos formulados, prestando especial atención aos de natureza política e relixiosa. A continuación, reconstruímos as historias de catro mestres que, ademais da depuración profesional, experimentaron a prisión, o exilio e mesmo a morte: Francisco Rodríguez Suárez, Xosé Tobío Mayo, Rafael Pardo Carmona e Jesús Álvaro López Brenlla.[Abstract] Muros was the town in the province of A Coruña that was hardest hit by the military uprising against the Republic in 1936 : 48% of the town’s teachers were permanently expelled from the profession. This article begins with an analysis of the sanctions and charges imposed upon them, particularly those of a political or religious nature. The second part reconstructs the stories of four teachers who, apart from suffering professionally from the purge, were sentenced to prison, forced into exile or even executed: Francisco Rodríguez Suárez, Xosé Tobío Mayo, Rafael Pardo Carmona and Jesús Álvaro López Brenlla.
