It's estimated that less than 100 such people would benefit from the proposal
Following the presentation of the new State Budgets in Congress on September 21, today the left wing green coalition, IU-ICV, has announced appeals on several fronts.
Among them they are demanding that homosexuals who suffered from repression during the Franco era, be financially compensated, although observers think that less than 100 such people could still be alive today, after gays were jailed, tortured and had their assets seized, among other measures.
Meanwhile the Catalan Republican Party ERC, has presented an amendment demanding to see a reduction in the Royal budget, and make the request at a time when the Spanish Monarchy appears to be under attack from all sides. However the request is not a new one, and has been made every year since Zapatero came to power
