ResumoespanolFelix Torres, alcalde socialista y dirigente de la UGT de Valdepenas, fue ejecutado a garrote vil en mayo de 1939. Torres no fue una victima mas del exterminio de �rojos� perpetrado por el franquismo. Era inusual dar garrote a lideres politicos. La politica de la venganza alcanzo a sus familiares directos y cuatro de ellos fueron fusilados. El estudio de sus expedientes militares y el testimonio de Faustino Alvarez, sobrino del alcalde Torres, permiten una lectura analitica de los hechos, el rescate de su memoria historica y la aproximacion a las causas de tan recalcitrante violencia EnglishFelix Torres, socialist Mayor and leader of the Valdepenas UGT, was executed with the garrote in May, 1939. Torres was not just another victim of the extermination of �reds� perpetrated by the Francoism. It was unusual to sentence political leaders to the garrote. This policy of revenge extended to his direct family and four of his close relatives were shot. The study of their military records and the testimony of Faustino Alvarez, Mayor Torres� nephew, allow for an analytical interpretation of the facts to be carried out, as well as the preservation of historical memory and an approach to the causes of such a level of violence
