Franco’s body being moved today

As far as I can make out MaizieD (and I’m mindful of my neighbours sensitivities on this), the socialist government want the valley of the fallen to be a shrine for the victims of war rather than a gathering place for fascist supporters.

Nor me. I read about it in the local English paper here in Spain last week.

The civil war caused such deep divisions-splitting families and communities.

It’s referred to as a ‘pact of forgetting’ it was the only way to move on.

40 years after Franco’s death, the legacy of his 36 years of unopposed rule still casts a long shadow over Spain.

I must confess that I haven't been following this story and when I hear 'headlines' about it my reaction is 'Why is he being moved?'

Anyone care to explain (or shout at me for not knowing..)?

Not me I’m here in Spain and different factions within the town still don’t speak to those on the opposing side all these years later.

An interesting fact, Suzie, that will bypass many people.
