Pedro Sanchez promises to remove Franco's remains from Valley of the Fallen mausoleum
Spain: Pedro Sanchez promises to remove Franco's remains from Valley of the Fallen mausoleum
Francisco Franco is buried at the Valley of the Fallen along with more than 30,000 other Spaniards who fought in the 1936-39 civil war. Spain's newly installed prime minister wants to change that. Spain's new prime minister has said he wants to move forward with plans to remove the remains of the former nationalist dictator Francisco Franco from a state-funded mausoleum. The country "cannot afford symbols that separate Spaniards," Pedro Sanchez said in an interview with national broadcaster TVE, adding that the Valley of the Fallen should be converted into "a mausoleum for victims of fascism." http://www.dw.com/en/spain-pedro-san...eum/a-44285105 |
