Haven’t seen them in a while. Got to know them when I was working in New York back in the ‘80’s’’. They were two brothers who were plumbers. They told me in 1938 they left Spain with their parents to live with an uncle in Argentina.After WW2 the two of them came to NYC.
Your "Catholic" plumber friends left Spain in 1938 and never returned apparently, having stayed in Argentina through WWII and then moved to NYC.
If they are so Catholic, why wouldn't they return to Franco's quite Catholic Spain?
Why did their family leave when the Spanish Civil War was so close to a Catholic victory?
If they left Spain in 1938 and never returned, then they never lived under Franco, so what makes them experts?
Was theirs a leftist family that saw the handwriting on the wall and got out while the getting was good? Given that they fled Spain 75 years ago, it would be surprising if they are still alive. If they are alive and got out of Spain while the getting was good, it is little surprise that they are scrawling their opposition to Franco on random outhouse walls with a grease pencil.
