Sad to see that General Francisco Franco's remains have been moved from his beautiful mausoleum to the unremarkable El Pardo city cemetery to appease the left leaning government. Visiting The Valley of the Fallen will not be the same. Many fought valiantly against the move, but to no avail :( It's bad enough ingrate students demanding the removal of their benefactors statues and memorabilia from universities, whilst still enjoying their architectural and financial legacies, without this sort of nonsense in Spain.
 
Could it possibly have anything to do with the fact that he oversaw the execution of several hundred thousand people?

I don't know about you, but I'd have some issues with any memorial to someone who within living memory was in charge of murdering a hundred thousand or more of his own people, and certainly wouldn't complain if the descendent of those killed and fellow citizens of the country thought that he shouldn't be celebrated.
 
A lot of Spaniards feel very differently, hence why it's taken decades for this disinterment to have been authorized, and it's deeply unpopular with many. He still has many admirers.
 
Jesus Chris, i bet Franco's ghost is in your pub, is Mussolini there too? Pinochet?

They should just incinerate him and eat him so he can end life as he deserves, then they can bury that.

From what I hear about the Spanish civil war back then, peoples bodies were being dug up regularly and desecrated. Let the dead rest in peace.

If its a new trend to start digging people up and moving them, there are a lot of famous people buried here that could be moved too.

Perhaps your school's history teacher never explained just how far General Pinochet stuck his neck out to help the UK and support our ex PM Lady Thatcher over the Falkland Islands? We owe him a serious debt of gratitude!

As BowdonUK quite rightly states, if we start digging up political and military figures current sensitivities now view as risque, we need to start employing a lot of grave diggers :)

Wow Franco was a murdering fascist ****. His remains should be removed and thrown in the sea.

We should start with Stalin and Mao first though, because between them they killed so many people that it makes the number killed by the fascists seem insignificant. And then afterwards perhaps we could move onto raiding museums and chucking all the Roman, Viking and Norman remains into the sea too.

Ehm what about the British? How many were killed to build the "Empire" which lasted 150 years only?

I wonder how much we played in the support of communism in China (two wars to make China a drugged slave probably annoyed them), so realistically Mao's murder count is partly ours and Stalins are partly the Prussians. :)

Muahah. Please stop writing such things in open forum.
India wasn't conquered until 1853 with a war raging for 80 year. South Africa until well into 1880s.

Except Britain and the colonies actively fought against Chinese communism...Or do you want to continue to dump on the 1000s who were killed and injured in Korea?

I expanded (barely), it's in jest mostly, obviously people can choose their paths, but we certainly... did not make a good impression.

I mean look what we did to them.
