Spain “can’t allow symbols that divide”. …

If that's the case they will have to destroy the whole Valle de los Caidos (Fallen) monument. If you've ever seen it, it would not surprise you to see a recreation of the Nuremberg rally start up. It reeks of fascism.

Valle de los Caídos is actually a giant underground church and a Benedictine monastery. Franco did not ask or intend to be buried there, and this was a later decision by his family.

The place is meant as a huge mausoleum and monument for Spanish Civil War dead (from both sides). The monks are there to pray and work for peace and reconciliation, but now as in the 1930s, this Is the last thing the left wants. The leftists were violent, vicious and implacable then and they are so still today.
