Democratic memory and the denial of violent and traumatic events from the past have generated intense public debate about the Spanish War and the Franco dictatorship. In the education system, the issue has been approached with equidistance so as not to recognise the serious violation of human rights in our past. The research focuses on future teachers' perception of historical and democratic memory as a social and cultural practice, centring on the controversies it generates and manifests as hate speeches that conceal or omit past events. The aim is to find out what emotional resorts and cognitive elements they use to analyze populist rhetoric, interpret conflicting pasts and presents, and how they mobilize historical knowledge and emotions to advance in the deconstruction of historical denialism. The research is sociocritical and explores the ideological dimension of the narratives produced by future teachers during a training session on the subject. It studies the meanings they give to the past from the present political debate to advance training models in education in historical and democratic memory. Among the most relevant results, we found that the presence of historical thinking in future teachers is intimately connected to the manifestation of emotions, and the absence of the same reveals the lack of competence in historical thinking. The conclusions indicate that addressing the training of teachers in democratic memory cannot be exempt from working on knowledge and emotion to confront conflicting pasts.
