The Congress of Deputies approved this Wednesday, with the support of all political parties, with the exception of Vox, a non-legal proposal (PNL) by Sumar to publicly restore the figure of , a republican teacher and writer to whom Franco’s dictatorship endorsed the theft during the Civil War of , a valuable 16th century panel by Yáñez de la Almedina. Cipriano Salvador, who had already inventoried the province of Ciudad Real, was commissioned by the Republic to protect all relevant works in the Montiel region from plunder. Among them was the Yáñez panel, which Domingo Cipriano took down from the Almedina church to keep in his house until 1938 when it was collected by the Republic Reparations Fund. Once the war was over, the work traveled to Villanueva de los Infantes, claimed as his own by its parish priest, knowing that its original location was in Almedina. The religious took advantage of an error in the measurement of its dimensions to show that it was a different work from the one seized and later sold it to the Prado Museum.
