That’s the thanks he gets for saving the country...and he did save the country.
Left-wing academics and journalists have tried for decades to prevent people from asking the question: “But what about all the GOOD things Franco did?”
Terrorists blew up the trains post 9-11 and the Socialists & terrorists won.
And it was Franco who put the country on the road to being a constitutional monarchy, enabling Juan Carlos to take over when Franco died. Economic progress, saving the country from the communists, return to constitutional government, peace...other than that, what did Franco ever do for Spain?
True hero of Western Civilization in the 20th century. Almost as important as Reagan and Thatcher-Can you imagine how much more dificult it would have been to tear down the wall if Spain remained in Uncle Joe’s hands???
