  • 1 Repression, Rivalry and Racketeering in the Creation Of
    Repression, Rivalry and Racketeering in the Creation of Franco’s Spain: the curious case of Emilio Griffiths ‘These things happened. That’s the thing to keep one’s eye on. They happened even though Lord Halifax said they happened […] and they did not happen any less because the Daily Telegraph has suddenly found out about them when it is five years too late’.1 (George Orwell) In mid-November 1936, a Gibraltarian named Abraham Bensusan wrote two letters to the British Secretary of State for the Colonies in London. His subject was the Spanish Civil War, which had, by then, already been raging for three months. Bensusan described how deeply the war in Spain had affected ‘The Rock’. In both letters he hinted darkly at the ‘fascist’ elements in Gibraltar and potentially suspect loyalties amongst the civilian population.2 But his principal aim was to highlight the appalling atrocities being committed by the military rebels in the surrounding region of Spain, the Campo de Gibraltar. Bensusan alleged that civilians, including Gibraltarians, were under threat of arrest or execution in the Campo, often for the most trivial offences, such as carrying a pair of shoes in a ‘communist’ newspaper. In the first letter, having urged that ‘England should formulate a formal protest to the authorities of La Linea… and specially protect Gibraltarians’, Bensusan singled out one man as responsible for the repression in the neighbouring Spanish towns: ‘I am told that a man called Griffith born in Gibraltar is Chief of Falange Española (Fascists) at La Linea, this young man apparently seems to be the murderer over at La Linea […]’ Bensusan returned to his theme in a second letter, four days later.
