In July of 1936, Radio Castilla de Burgos became the Franco dictatorship rioters’ radio station. Until the foundation of Radio Nacional de España (RNE), the radio microphones were used as an instrument to disseminate the national and international propaganda. Since its creation, the two radio owners, Manuel Mata Villanueva and Fidel Martínez Saiz, cooperated with the Franco dictatorship regime. However, it was an unprecedented fact that Fidel Martínez was subjected to a social political purification process because he showed affinity with the trade union movements and left-wing political trends. He was arrested and he was disqualified from holding public office in Correos. This new information calls into question whether the collaboration between him and the Franco dictatorship rioters was just a product of an ideological affinity
