Remembering Franco — and the dangers of fascism — 50 years later
Update: 2025-11-19
Description
Francisco Franco died 50 years ago. The general-turned-dictator had been at the helm of a violent authoritarian regime that caused immense hardship for the people of Spain. The current Spanish government is marking the anniversary of Franco's demise with a year-long celebration called "Spain in Freedom." But not everyone is on board. The World's Gerry Hadden brought us this story from the village of Belchite when the festivities first got underway earlier this year.
