They hate him because he defeated them.
Poor Spain. Surely hell awaits those who would defile a hero’s grave.

Careful research will indicate the Franco is still dead.

“Fascist” my ass. Franco stands far apart from Hitler, Stalin, or Mao. None of those three would dream of putting a CROSS on a monument such as this. Hitler replaced the cross with the swastika, and Stalin and Mao banished religion.

Franco fought for God and country, defeated the communists and refused to support Hitler during WWII. I believe history will smile on him someday.

It’s probably a stretch to call Franco a fascist. Unlike Mussolini, his support came from a coalition of different groups ranging from Fascists and Monarchists, to fringe groups like Carlists.
He was not an angel, but was a better option than the Republicans who were on the road to creating a communist state.

LOL, Valiant fight to stay dead, very good!
And wasn’t Garcia-Lorca also involved in a similar struggle?
Mira, Espana, let the dead stay buried, RIP and all that rot as we Anglophones say.
