Abstract
[spa] En este artículo se realiza una primera aproximación a las políticas públicas vinculadas con los desaparecidos de la guerra civil —ya fuesen civiles o militares— que se llevaron a cabo tanto por la República como, posteriormente, durante la dictadura franquista. En una primera parte se aborda cómo los gobiernos de la República, tanto el central como la Generalitat de Catalunya, así como organizaciones no gubernamentales, realizaron diversas acciones para dar respuesta a los familiares de los desaparecidos en combate y las víctimas de la represión de los primeros meses de conflicto. Con la llegada de la dictadura franquista, las políticas públicas para localizar a los desaparecidos de guerra solo se centraron en dar respuesta a una parte de la sociedad, los vencedores. Las familias de los vencidos no recibieron ningún apoyo por parte del Estado.

With the arrival of Franco’s dictatorship, public policies to locate the war disappeared only focused on responding to one part of society, the victors. The families of the defeated received no support from the state. Despite this abandonment, many families did not cease their efforts to search through different channels for information about their missing loved ones.
