Spain's culture minister, Ernest Urtasun, emphasized that returning stolen art is not only a legal obligation but also an act of reparation with profound significance.
In June, the ministry published an online list of 5,126 items plundered by the Franco regime, allowing families to reclaim their heritage nearly a century later.
The initial returned piece, a painting of Francisco Giner de los Rios, symbolizes the restoration of rights after the artifacts were taken for safekeeping during the civil war.
The return of this painting to the Francisco Giner de los Rios Foundation marks a significant first step in rectifying historical injustices perpetrated by the dictatorship.
