Why are they ‘haunted’ by his era?

Spain under Franco was relatively stable, but most elections were fixed, the Guardia Civil ruled with an iron hand, censorship was prevalent and the economy was stagnant.

Fascist symbols were on every highway and “historic markers” described every Franco movement during the Civil War. Much of the country was gray and depressing.

Want to understand the Spanish Civil War? Watch this Six-part series on YouTube. Produced over 30 years ago by Grenada TV when many of the principals were still alive it is, in my opinion, remarkably even-handed.

I very highly recommend it.
