Further proof that Franco saved Spain.
Why is the story from Rosario?
The journalist who wrote it is based there.
The mayor of the town, Carmen Flores, from the pro-communist party Izquierda Unida, had the cross removed on Wednesday despite the fact it was in a part of the convent that was declared a National Historic Monument in 1983. The designation means that the exterior of the convent cannot be modified.

Franco was more of a conservative-ractionary than a true fascist. His dictatorship killed a lot of commies.
The lefties had majorities throughout the prior republics and, as all lefties do, targeted the church with their red terror as the police stood by and did nothing.
So, yes, Franco was a fascist, but only in response to the fascism of the left. He didn’t want to argue with them so he killed them instead.
Seems odd
I’ve spent a lot of time there over the past 20 years
A large part of Spanish migrants to Argentina are Galician.
What a hateful and petty Mayor.
The article does not say;
A. If there are plans to put the cross back up there?
B. Where the cross is being kept at this time?
C. If he is the Mayor, couldn’t someone appeal to the Governor to reject this manner of treating citizens?
Everybody has a Boss of some type, even a Mayor.
I'm sooooo confused!
Did Franco and Pinochet have anything in common?
I am saddened by the fact that Franco didn’t have helicopters...
“Fascism” usually refers to an economic partnership between a government and corporations, but the word has been as overused as “racist” is now.
Agreed.
I thought liberals were tolerant and accepting of others. That’s what they claim to be.
Spanish communists are nasty bastards. They committed horrible war crimes against many Catholic clergy personnel and civilians. No wonder Franco won. The people hated the Nationalists and their Soviet supporters.
Franco was no angel but he was viewed by most Catholics as their religious savior.

They’ve been through this before. Secularism will not replace Christianity. A much less benign abomination will fill that void.
Pray for a robot El Cid douchebags.
Partnership? No. It’s government owning and directing the means of production to industry for the good of the state. Replace state with party and you have communism.
Fascism and communism are two sides of the same coin.
Guys like Franco and Pinochet killing commies is a okay with me. Pinochet was more of a capitalist who saw his neighbors all going commie. He was no fascist. He dealt with commies exactly the right way.
