Five neo-Nazi men from the Marxalenes neighborhood (Valencia) identify in a Montanejos pub young anti-fascist Guillem Agulló, a resident of Burjassot and a member of the pro-independence organization Maulets and the anti-racist collective SHARP. Guillem was wearing anti-racist badges on his jacket and noticed the presence of several neo-Nazis. They separated him from his friends and, after attacking him, one of them fatally stabbed him in the heart. The assailants left the scene giving the Nazi salute. Five people were charged, but only the accused of stabbing him, Pedro José Cuevas Silvestre, was convicted. The mitigating factor of spontaneous repentance was applied to him, since he voluntarily went to a Civil Guard barracks days after the crime. He only served 4 of the 14 years he was sentenced to. Years later he would be arrested in the Civil Guard’s Operation Panzer against the neo-Nazi organization Frente Antisistema (FAS), a case that ended with the acquittal of all the accused.
In 2020, Guillem’s case was brought to the cinema by Carlos Marques-Marcet, with his film ‘La mort de Guillem’. The film is part of the ‘La luita continua’ campaign, which also includes the book ‘Guillem’ by Núria Cadenes, and to which the update of this hate crime memory project has also been added.
