Spain’s Francoist past is still omnipresent, observes Alain Mila, lawyer and descendant of Spanish Republicans, in L’Humanité:
“Although much has already been done, the scars of the dictatorship are still visible today, for example in street names and monuments. … The Spanish government under Pedro Sánchez wants to send a signal on the 50th anniversary of the dictator’s death and eliminate all traces of Franco’s legacy. But the fractious members of the Vox party who openly claim to be Franco’s heirs are lying in wait!”
