Description<\/h4>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Jos\u00e9 Luis Alcazo Alcazo had completed his degree in History at the Autonomous University of Madrid. He planned to return to his native town of Albero Bajo, in Huesca, and take care of his family’s affairs. On 13 September 1979, he had travelled to Madrid to pick up his notes and move his belongings to Huesca. His family had come with him. However, he also met up with some college friends for a farewell gathering in the Retiro Park in Madrid. As well as Jos\u00e9 Luis (affectionately known as ‘Josefo’), the regulars at these gatherings were Marisol de Mateo, Jes\u00fas Oyamburu, Luciano S\u00e1nchez and Mariela Qui\u00f1ones. That day they were also joined by Mariela’s friend, Luis Canicio.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It was getting dark and the group started walking down Paseo de Fern\u00e1n N\u00fa\u00f1ez. Suddenly, from behind the hedges, they heard a cry of \u2018Now!\u2019 and several juveniles came out towards them, armed with baseball bats and sticks. The group were young far-right activists who had gone out to ‘defend’ their area.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

‘They attacked Luis and Jes\u00fas first’, recalled Mariela Qui\u00f1ones in a report published in eldiario.es on 12 September 2019. ‘They hit them from behind, so they did not see the aggressors and were unable to defend themselves. They split Luis’ head open and he was left lying unconscious on the ground’. Jos\u00e9 Luis jumped in to try to defend his friends. ‘Josefo rolled up his sleeves, at which they all went after him’, said Qui\u00f1ones (eldiario.es, 12\/09\/2019). ‘He tried to grab the bat from one of the boys and then he took off running. He ran into a metal fence. He tripped over it and once he was on the ground, they attacked him. After a blow to the skull with a bat, he stopped moving\u2019.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The rest of the group managed to escape their assailants. Hours later they learned that Josefo had been taken to the La Paz Hospital. When they arrived, they found Josefo’s distraught parents, who had just formally identified their son’s body.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

There were ten assailants in all, eight of whom were over 16, the age of criminal responsibility. They styled themselves ‘The Batters’ and said they wanted to defend the \u2018National Zone\u2019 in the centre of Madrid, where they lived. They told the police that they went around ‘cleaning up the Retiro’ of ‘hooligans, drug addicts, knife wielders and homosexuals’. Their names were Jos\u00e9 Miguel Fern\u00e1ndez Mar\u00edn, Emeterio Iglesias S\u00e1nchez, Miguel Cebri\u00e1n Carbonell, Gabriel Rodr\u00edguez Medina, the brothers \u00c1ngel Luis and Jos\u00e9 Antonio Nieto Garc\u00eda, Fernando Pita da Veiga Corral and Eduardo Limi\u00f1ana San Juan \u2014 the mastermind and, by his own confession, the one who delivered the fatal blow. The other two were minors: Pablo Calder\u00f3n Fornos, aged 14 and the third of the Nieto Garc\u00eda brothers, Jos\u00e9 Mar\u00eda, aged 15.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Of the ten aggressors, only eight \u2014those who were over the age of criminal responsibility\u2014 were prosecuted. The two minors, Pablo Calder\u00f3n Fornos and Jos\u00e9 Mar\u00eda Nieto Garc\u00eda, simply spent a few months in a juvenile centre and were not prosecuted. Of the eight who were prosecuted, only three received custodial sentences in excess of their pre-trial detention: Eduardo Limi\u00f1ana who was sentenced to over eleven years in prison, Gabriel Rodr\u00edguez, over ten years and \u00c1ngel Luis Garc\u00eda Nieto, who, as the eldest, received a sentence of over fourteen years in prison.<\/p>\n
