Televisión Española has released previously unseen footage of the funeral for twelve miners who died at the Calvo Sotelo mine during the Franco dictatorship. The footage, featured in the program Los archivos secretos del NODO, documents a historical event that was suppressed by the regime's official newsreel service, NODO, at the time of its occurrence 41 years ago.

The broadcast provides a rare visual record of the incident, which the Francoist authorities chose not to publicize due to the stark reality of the conditions depicted. The release of these images serves as a historical recovery of events that were intentionally obscured by state-controlled media during that period.
