Spain's last statue of General Franco pulled down and removed in 'day of history' | Daily Mail Online
submitted 3 years ago by carn0ld03 from self.Europe
> Spain's north African enclave of Melilla has removed the country's last public statue of former dictator General Francisco Franco 45 years after his death. The bronze statue, which shows Franco standing, was erected in 1978 to commemorate his role as commander of the Spanish Legion in the Rif War, a conflict Spain fought in the 1920s against Berber tribes in Morocco. As a result of the statue's removal, no more commemorative tributes remain in public streets to the man who ruled Spain from 1939 after winning the Spanish Civil War until his death in 1975. > The head of the regional government of Melilla said the statue was taken to a municipal warehouse, without clarifying whether it would later be put in a museum. > A 2007 law passed by a previous Socialist government obliges towns to remove public symbols of the Franco era and to rename streets named after the dictator or generals who fought with him in the civil war. As a result, symbols of the dictatorship have slowly been removed, including other high-profile statues around Spain.
