On 27 December 1936 the offices of Democracia was attacked by a large group of Italian sailors, who vandalised the building and threatened to kill the editor. Returning from the attack, they sang the fascist hymn Giovinezza.[3] The attack was interpreted at the time as indicative of the Italian support for Francisco Franco's revolt against the government in Madrid.[2][3]
