After the preview screening of "Franco´s Settlers" October 28, 2012 in Berlin, a panel discussion took place featuring Carlos Castresana (Spanish Supreme Court Prosecutor), Felipe González (Spanish prime minister between 1982-1996) and 
Emilio Silva (President of the Association for the Recovery of Historic Memory). Fernando Suárez (former Minister under Franco and member of the conservative Spanish People's Party) was also invited but refused to attend.
The above mentioned guests discussed about the importance of the issue of dealing with the past for the national policy in Spain: How much of historic memory is necessary to build the present and the future in Spain? What kind of traces of Francoism are left in Spanish society? Can we still say that the Spanish process of democratization after Franco's death was exemplary?
