Abstract
A través del análisis en profundidad de un caso concreto del medio rural, correspondiente a los primeros años cuarenta del siglo pasado, este artículo aborda la forma en la que el régimen franquista aplicó los parámetros de la justicia militar, con toda su capacidad coercitiva, su ensañamiento y su arbitrariedad, a modalidades delictivas de rango menor –relacionadas con los hurtos en el campo– y vinculadas con el fenómeno de los “huidos en la sierra”. La trama estudiada se desarrolló en el Campo de Montiel, un territorio situado en la mitad sudoriental de la provincia de Ciudad Real, y el sujeto de la misma fueron la partida de los Chuchas, sus enlaces y encubridores. Aquel fue uno de los grupos armados pioneros contrarios al nuevo orden que se constituyeron en España al poco de finalizar la Guerra Civil, de ahí que también fuera uno de los primeros en sufrir los brutales rigores represivos de la dictadura.
Through an in-depth analysis of a specific rural case from the early 1940s, this article addresses the question of the way the Franco regime applied military justice codes in all their cruelty and arbitrariness to minor offenses such as petty theft in rural areas and those related to the phenomenon of “those who had fled to the mountains”. The case studied here unfolded in Campo de Montiel, an area in the mid-southeast of the province of Ciudad Real, and concerns the Los Chuchas group, its connections and those who protected it. This was one of the first armed groups to be formed in Spain shortly after the Civil War in opposition to the new order and thus one of the first to suffer the brutal repression of the dictatorship.
