Looking at all of the socialist thugs running Europe into the ground these days....Franco looks pretty good compared to them. Spain was much better off when he was in charge.

Additional information that gives sense to this matter:

The Franco Foundation sued the sculptor for "dishonouring" the former dictator.

Apparently, in Spain, one can sue someone for "dishonoring" someone else (even if that person is a dead fascist dictator).

The public prosecutor asked for the charges to be dropped because the work was "in keeping with current social usage."

Apparently, no mention of "Freedom of Speech" (yes, I know that this was in Spain, not America).

Regards,

I would have thought the lawsuit came from Coca Cola
