Ass Press ^ | 08/24/2018

MADRID (AP) — Spain’s center-left government approved legal amendments Friday to make sure that the remains of former dictator Gen. Francisco Franco will be dug up and removed from a controversial national mausoleum honoring the nation’s civil war dead.

The minority Socialist government is certain that parliament will endorse the amendments, probably in a debate next month, deputy prime minister Carmen Calvo told reporters.

The amendments to Spain’s Historical Memory Law of 2007 grant the government the power to exhume Franco’s body. That change aims to thwart legal efforts by Franco’s descendants and supporters to block the exhumation in the courts.

They should try him first. He probably won't offer much in the way of a defense.

Franco: “Don’t make me get up. You won’t like me if I have to get up.”

How soon before American leftists begin clamoring for George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and other slave holders to be dug up and removed.

Unfortunately no matter how many you kill the b*stards keep coming back like roaches. The only answer for a country such as Spain which has a longer tradition of royal absolutism than any other form of government would be to continue having a “head of State’ regime with Franco's powers. The successors carefully selected for competence and psychological toughness. Not particul;arly intelligence beyond the average. Character and disposition is what is required,

The Spanish left is no more enlightened than Inquisitors were.

Just leave his remains be. Spain needs to be at peace with itself.

Let them clamor. As for me - I’ll be more than happy to take away all those slips of paper they have in their wallets with pictures of those evil white slave owners.

Free of charge. I’m just that kind of guy.
