In Spain there has been a lot of talk lately about the decision to remove some statues of General Franco. Here's the latest news in English and Spanish.
While many of us are shocked at the fact that they were still standing, some Spanish media and political figures related to Aznar’s Popular Party have stated their protest about what they call “stirring the past”. Apparently they would have preferred to leave Franco where he was, because the decision to remove him is opening old wounds, according to them.
The freakiest episode of all this was that of the elderly woman who paid a boy 3 euros to write a graffiti supporting the dictator. Surely the boy didn’t even know who the hell Franco was, and frankly he sold himself very cheap.

Nice to see statues of other dictators falling.
Finally.
Kids, eh? I wonder if he really wrote what the old lady told him to or just scrawled something like "Franco fancies Hitler" on the wall.
