Explanation:
In Spain the expression "acciones liberadas" has two possible meanings depending on the context: "fully paid shares" or "founder (or) bonus shares." ("Issued shares" are merely "acciones emitidas"). Since your text appears to deal with a capital increase ("ampliación de capital") the meaning of "fully paid shares" would appear to fit the context. Here is a definition of "acciones liberadas" from the Diccionario de Derecho Bosch, Barcelona, 1995:

ACCIONES LIBERADAS
Son las acciones cuyo desembolso ha sido ya totalmente realizado. En este sentido, se contrapone a las acciones no liberadas, como aquéllas cuyo desembolso, total o parcialmente, está pendiente. Pero también se utiliza la expresión acción liberada para referirse a la entregada gratuitamente al fundador para compensar sus servicios. De ahí las denominaciones también empleadas para referirse a esta clase de acción: acciones gratuitas, acciones de industria o acciones de trabajo. Prohibidas actualmente, han sido sustituidas por las llamadas ventajas de los fundadores, bonos de fundador, partes de fundador, cédulas beneficiarias o cédulas de fundador consistentes en derechos especiales de contenido económico que otorga a su titular, el cedulista, un derecho de crédito contra la sociedad en los términos previstos en los estatutos. En todo caso, estos títulos de fundador tienen unos límites en su cuantía (diez por ciento de beneficios netos) y en su vigencia (diez años).
Ley de Sociedades Anónimas, artículos 9 y 11.

Here are similar texts in which "acción liberada" refers to fully paid shares (sometimes "paid in" or "paid up" is also used):

As I indicated above and as shown in the examples I provided, the meaning here is "fully paid shares", rather than the second possible definition of "acciones liberadas" ("founder shares" or "bonus shares").

Notes to answerer
Asker: these are shares that were issued on the Continuous Market to raise money, I believe. It don't think it has anything to do with founder's shares - what do you think?


Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  Sheilann: I agree completely. Once they've been paid , the owner has full rights to sell, transfer or whatever. Perhaps it wouldn't go amiss to say fully subscribed and paid-up

  -> Thanks Sheilann and, yes, the idea is that they are indeed fully subscribed and paid
