Yes, Spain should dig Franco up. But it must not bury the horror of his regime

Outside of Spain, Franco was mainly "a forgotten fascist" in World War II. Spanish dictators died from 1939 to 1975, and Franco's treatment of Barcelona and Catalan people was terrible. Beginning in 1940, he ordered the removal of someone or any group who thought of being a political enemy or "red man", anarchists, Republicans, intellectuals, feminists, and those who were dissatisfied with regime . In addition, since the 1930's, the Catalan independence movement is the Spanish side of fascism. "Catalan nationalism is a disease that must be eradicated," said Franco's foreign minister and brother-in-law Ramon Serrano Sunil. "The Catalan people are reluctant to morality and politics.

From the end of the Spanish Civil War in April 1939 to November 1975, Spain was governed by General Francisco Franco. The principle underlying his regime is embodied in a series of basic laws (adopted between 1942 and 1967) that declared Spain a monarchy and founded a legislature called Cortes. But Franco's government system is quite different from the contemporary Spanish constitutional tradition. Under the guidance of Franco, Provençals, a member of Cortez, was elected based on so-called "organic democracy" rather than elected on the principle of individual voting democracy. Rather than representing individual citizens, it represents a basic institution that is considered to be a Spanish society: families, municipalities, universities, and professional organizations. In addition, governments appointed and dismissed by head of state are not responsible to Cortes. Cortes also lacks control over government expenditure.
