Franco was a hero of Western Civ. He kicked the snot out of the Reds in block to block fighting. Name one other person who actually rose up and beat the commies out of his country.

Also, Franco was not a Fascist. He was a monarchist, and a traditional, European Catholic Christian conservative/reactionary authoritarian.
Jose Primo de Rivera may have been a Fascist. Franco used Primo de Rivera until he was killed, and the Spanish Falange for his (Franco’s) own purposes, just as he was able to use Hitler and Mussolini, and later, Truman, Eisenhower, Kennedy and other Western leaders.
Franco was a very wily politician and national leader.
