Spain's socialist government has claimed ownership of Francisco Franco'...
MADRID - Spain’s socialist government has claimed ownership of Francisco Franco’s summer palace in Galicia in its latest clash with the former dictator’s descendents, who have challenged a plan to exhume his remains from a state mausoleum outside Madrid.
Public opinion is still divided over the 1936 to 1939 Spanish Civil War, which tore apart families and communities, and the legacy of the ensuing far right-wing dictatorship that ended with Franco’s death in 1975. “They already threatened us that there would be retaliation if we did not back down and this is part of the strategy of retaliation,” Francis Franco, one of Franco’s grandsons, told Reuters.
