The bidding prices for Meirás multiply up to 100 times in the face of the helplessness of the memorialists

The auction of items from the Pazo de Meirás has sparked outrage among memorialist groups, who argue that these items should belong to the state. The auction, conducted by Magna Art Auctions, faced technical issues due to high demand. Many items, including a painting and a staircase, saw their prices skyrocket, raising concerns about the legality of their sale. Memorialist organizations like ARMH have criticized the government for not intervening and allowing the Franco family to profit from state property. Legal rulings have previously recognized the state ownership of many items, yet the auction proceeded, highlighting ongoing issues of impunity surrounding the Franco legacy.
