      <description><![CDATA[<p><img src="https://static1.ara.cat/clip/2cca80de-857d-4498-b5cb-29ba7e8c6296_16-9-aspect-ratio_default_0.jpg" /></p><p>The Manacor City Council wants everyone who enters the Son Coletes municipal cemetery to know exactly what lies beneath their feet, under the five meters of earth covering the trenches dug during the Balearic Government's three mass grave exhumation plans, from 2020 to 2023, which were key to the recovery of more than a hundred bodies. "Something has to be done to remind people that this was the site of the greatest repression in Mallorca," explains Councilor Sebastià Llodrà (Més-Esquerra). Among the council's proposals are marking the trenches by changing the paving material, color, and surface to reveal the area excavated to open the graves. And with plaques bearing the names of the victims who have been identified, as a way of telling a story, until now hidden beneath the common soil. The City Council is confident it can afford these works (although they are not yet providing a cost estimate), but they are unsure whether they will be carried out by the local maintenance crew or contracted out to an external company. Following the last excavation and exhumation campaign at Son Coletes in the spring of 2023, a total of 14 mass graves were unearthed and the remains of at least 131 victims were recovered, 14 of whom were women, including Aurora Picornell, the Rojas del Molinait, and the Rojas del Molinar Republican Alberto Bayo. In fact, it is striking that of the 20 women murdered during the repression, 14 were found in the Manacor mass graves. </p>]]></description>
