SPAIN will pass a decree today signing off on the exhumation General Franco’s body.
“As an established and European democracy, Spain cannot allow for symbols that divide Spaniards,” Sanchez told public broadcaster TVE shortly after he came to power.
He said such a tribute would be ‘unthinkable’ in other European countries like Italy and Germany.
Sanchez wants to convert the site into a place of ‘reconciliation’ and memory for all Spaniards.
