Deity
When a beheaded equestrian statue of Franco, flagship of a critical exhibition about the dictatorship, is bombarded with eggs, defiled with rainbow paintings and Catalan flags, and is thrown to the ground and thence taken away, the Francisco Franco Foundation threatens to sue the Barcelona Town Hall both for exhibiting the beheaded statue and allowing it to be further defaced.
How? How? How can such a 'foundation' exist, and how can it be tolerated? Why is the dictator still buried in his glorious mausoleum built with forced labour while so many have rotten away in unmarked communal graves in fields and roads that no longer lead anywhere?
This country refuses to face a shameful past that it only managed to get over by pretending to forget about it.
Good question. It's things like this that make me sympathize with tankies. Sending these people to the gulag is by far the easiest way to deal with them.
