The collective, which has been fighting for years for memory and justice, maintains that these areas of the cemetery hold the remains of about a hundred people killed after the 1936 coup d'état. Despite the obstacles, the association continues its work, seeking administrative support to carry out the exhumations.

The association has expressed its frustration with the “helplessness” they feel from the administrations, despite the fact that a mausoleum with Francoist symbols, commemorating those who fell on the nationalist side, remains visible just a few meters from the disputed land. This situation is considered an affront to the Democratic Memory Law.

In 2012, descendants of the repressed began actions for these lands to be subject to a democratic restitution project, but fourteen years later, no progress has been made. A small exploration carried out by the Cabildo de Gran Canaria, in collaboration with the Las Palmas de Gran Canaria City Council, revealed remains of at least one adult and a baby, although it was later declared that the mass grave was “unlocatable”.

Given the lack of response, the association commissioned a prospecting project in 2022 from the scientific association ArqueoAntro. This report estimates that at least 60 people are buried there. The information was registered in 2025 with the Ministry of Democratic Memory, and due to administrative silence, a question was sent to the Prosecutor for Human Rights and Democratic Memory, without receiving a response.

Recently, new evidence has been added to the investigation, based on period documentation compiled by a history and heritage student from the University of Burgos. This study details data from summary trials and testimonies that, according to the researcher, demonstrate that the repressed were buried in these mass graves. The report emphasizes that all necessary work has not yet been carried out to locate the exact burial sites of the victims.
