Aged 97, Spanish Civil War veteran says 'I do not forgive, and will never forgive'

<p>It’s been more than 81 years since the <strong>Spanish Civil War</strong> erupted on July 18, 1936, following a military coup against the democratically elected left-wing <strong>Popular Front</strong> government. Yet, <strong>Miquel Morera</strong>, now 97 and still completely lucid, seems to remember everything from the moment he received an unlikely offer from his father: to join the Catalan government’s <strong>Macià-Companys column</strong> and fight side-by-side with him to defend the Republic. Morera said yes, even though he was only 16 at the time.</p> / Alan Ruiz Terol
