A fascist dictatorship, thousands slaughtered in a vicious civil war, holding back Spain for decades, allying with Hitler - we know Franco was bad - but this, this (!) is just beyond the pale!!

Shame Franco. Shame!

El régimen del General Franco no era fascista, era un régimen autoritario de orden público y prosperidad económica
