Andreu Matamalas Fons, a 51-year-old from Manacor, had kept silent for three decades. A few months ago, he received an unexpected call from a television program. Saved"They suggested," he says, "that I meet up with four old comrades from my military service in Palma. They got us talking about the biggest military desertion in the entire country, which a group of 18 soldiers staged in 1994 to protest the mistreatment we suffered. My brain had completely erased that trauma."
