The City Council of Totana has also requested, as other Murcia municipalities, compliance with the judicial orders of the High Court of Justice of Catalonia (TSJC), before the demands of the Association "Save the Archive of Salamanca", requesting the return to it The documents to the Region of Murcia in which Murcia appear.
Last February, the Plenary Assembly unanimously approved an express declaration of support for that association, as well as the institutional disposition to participate with it and try to have these documents revert to the regional or municipal heritage, as the case may be.
This initiative transcends the political struggle of the parties, from day to day, seeking to unite all, of all ideas, in defense of the common good and heritage of the Region of Murcia, in defense of documents that accredit and certify their History, according to the proposal.
The president of this association, Policarpo Sánchez, went to Totana to witness this plenary debate on the proposal to support the integrity of the Archive of the Spanish Civil War, as a testimony to one of the most tragic episodes in the history of Spain, And in view of the need to comply with judicial decisions.
The Consistory totanero, as other councils of the Region of Murcia have already done, has transferred this request to the Government of the Nation, urging it to adopt the necessary measures to enforce the Law and the Judgment of the Constitutional Court, in this sense, forcing The Generalitat of Catalonia to return the documents of Murcia that retains unduly.
The General Archive of the Spanish Civil War is a documentary organ located in the city of Salamanca, state-owned, created in 1999 and is currently integrated into the Documentary Center of Historical Memory, under the Ministry of Education, Culture And Sports.

At present, it is a valuable documentary source for national and international historians and researchers, and has even served as a fundamental pillar of information to request pensions or compensation.
It appears that there are more than 400,000 documents, among which are some that refer to regional history, documents related to the Teatro Romea, as well as various cards and files of the General Union of Workers (UGT) and other related families Of Totana and the Union, as the Martínez Yuste family.
