Forty-three years after the death of Spanish dictator Francisco Franco, the Socialist Party (PSOE) government of Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has begun the complex process of exhuming his remains from the Valley of the Fallen memorial site.

Today, the Cabinet approved a legislative decree that will add a pair of articles to the Historical Memory Law to legally safeguard the exhumation. Once approved, the decree will be put to a historic vote in Congress.

“The government has approved a decree that modifies two aspects of the 2007 [Historical Memory] law,” announced Deputy Prime Minister Carmen Calvo at a press conference on Friday after the Cabinet meeting. “The decree will permit the exhumation of the remains of the dictator Francisco Franco from the place where the victims of the conflict lie,” she said, in reference to the Valley of the Fallen monument.
“Having the tomb of Franco there means a lack of respect and peace for the victims who are buried within,” Calvo continued. “We want to do this because we think that there is a lot left to do in terms of historical memory in our country. There is not a single democracy on the international stage with which we would like to compare ourselves that has maintained a situation like the one that we have maintained for 40 years. Democracy is not compatible with a tomb that honors the memory of Franco.”
The deputy prime minister went on to explain that the Franco family will have two weeks to take charge of the remains of the former dictator, and should they fail to do so, the Spanish government will choose a “dignified and respectful” place for him to be reinterred.

Asked why the government has chosen to do this now, Calvo responded saying: “We are late with this, we are all late with this, us too, but this government headed by Pedro Sánchez will not be late. Bear in mind that the Historical Memory Law dates from 2007.”

Dozens of people staged a protest at the Valley of the Fallen on Friday to protest against the government’s decision.
The conservative Popular Party (PP) and the center-right party Ciudadanos have already announced they will not support the decree. But the Spanish government is confident the measure will pass, given that it only needs a simple majority (more votes in favor than against) in Congress, and, in principal, has the backing of anti-austerity party Podemos, the Catalan Republican Left (ERC), the Democratic Party of Catalonia (PDeCAT) and the Basque Nationalist Party (PNV). Together, this gives the government 177 votes in favor – one more than an absolute majority.
The decree has been designed to give the exhumation the greatest legal coverage possible
The government has also overcome the potential obstacle presented by the Catholic Church. The body of the dictator is buried in a basilica, a holy site theoretically protected by an international agreement. But from the outset the Church has been receptive to the government’s plans to remove the remains of the dictator. Sánchez has spoken with the archbishop of Madrid, Carlos Osoro, who assured there would be no opposition on their part.
The legislative decree has been designed to give the exhumation the greatest legal coverage possible and prevent possible legal disputes with the surviving members of the Franco family, who oppose the move. Only Congressional groups can bring a complaint against a law, meaning the family will be unable to file a lawsuit against the government.
The PP, however, has said it will appeal the measure with the Constitutional Court, arguing that using a decree to change the legislation is not valid because it does not respond to a situation of urgent need.
The exact date for the exhumation, which will require the removal of a tombstone weighing 1,500 kilograms, is not yet known. PSOE parliamentary spokesperson Adriana Lastra says the government will not announce a date until the last minute in order to avoid protests and other disputes. Lastra has suggested the remains could be removed in September. Sánchez had previously promised to exhume the dictator in July but complications delayed the operation. Now, after 43 years, the process is about to go into motion, with the decree allowing for a 12-month time period after it is passed for the exhumation to take place.
The decree is expected to have 177 votes in favor – one more than an absolute majority
The 13.6-square kilometer Valley of the Fallen site, north of Madrid, remains hotly contested in a country still struggling to come to terms with the legacy of the fascist dictatorship of Franco, who was the Spanish head of state from the end of the Civil War in 1939 to his death in 1975.
The site was ostensibly built to commemorate all of the victims on both sides of Spain’s bitter and bloody Civil War, and the remains of more than 33,000 victims of the conflict lie there. But critics point out that the Valley of the Fallen, which features a basilica and a 150-meter-high cross that dominates the surrounding countryside, contains just two marked graves: those of Franco himself and José Antonio Primo de Rivera, the founder of the Falange, Spain’s fascist-inspired political party. At the same time, thousands of prisoners of war who fought against Franco in the civil conflict were among the workforce used in its construction.

Diktekta Jenerali Francisco Franco alitawala taifa hilo la Hispania kwa staili ya utawala wa 'mkono wa chuma' kwa muda wa miaka 39 hadi alipofariki dunia kwa afya dhoofu mwaka 1975.

Katika kipindi chake cha utawala wa Jenerali Franco, watu wengi walipotea ktk mazingira ya utatanishi na wengineo maelfu kufungwa jela kutokana na kuwa na itikadi tofauti za kisiasa zilizokazwa utawala wake.

Diktekta Franco alikuwa na mahusiano ya karibu viongozi wa juu wa kanisa, maana kanisa lilikuwa na ushawishi ktk maisha ya raia na pia kuunga mkono utawala wa kifalme ktk Hispania.

Franco katika vita (1936-1939) vya wenyewe kwa wenyewe Hispania iliyoisha mwaka 1939 hakutaka kuona nchi hiyo ikiishia kumeguka ktk majimbo ya Catalonia n.k Hivyo alitumia majeshi kuhakikisha nchi inabakia bila mgawanyiko. Ushindi wa majeshi ya Franco, ulishangiliwa na kubatizwa kuwa ni ushindi dhidi ya wapiganaji wasio na imani ktk uwepo wa Mungu, Ufalme na umoja wa taifa.

Vita hivyo vilisababisha maelfu ya vifo na Diktekta Franco kuja na wazo la Kujenga basilica / makumbusho maalum ktk mfano wa kanisa kuwaenzi waliopoteza maisha ktk vita hivyo vya wenyewe kwa wenyewe.

Katika wosia wake Dikteta Franco, aliomba kuzikwa ktk basilica hilo na wahanga wengine wa vita ili kujibainisha na wafu wengine waliopigania au kufa kutetea taifa hilo la Hispania lisigawanyike.

Hata hivyo miaka 43 baadaye toka kifo cha diktekta huyo, wananchi, mwanaharakati wa haki za binadamu na wanasiasa wameona kuwa ukatili uliofanyika na utawala wake haustahili kusahauliwa.

Hivyo kupitia Bunge na Mahakama wameona kuweka historia sahihi kuwa ktk utawala wa Franco kuna unyama na ukatili mwingi ulitendeka ktk utawala wake uliodumu miaka 39.

Kuhitimisha hilo, hoja ya kufukuliwa mwili wake imepitishwa Bungeni na kutiliwa uzito mahakamani kisheria kuwa Diktekta huyo hastahili kulala ktk makumbusho hayo kutokana na vitendo viovu vilivyofanyika ktk utawala wake wa kiimla.



Spanish court has for the first time authorised the exhumation of bodies from the Valley of the Fallen. It is a vast mausoleum where the fascist dictator General Franco is buried with thousands of victims of Spain’s 1936 civil war.

For decades, Spain cast a veil over the atrocities committed during its civil war. But this isolated vast sections of society. Now, breaking this pact of silence is opening old wounds.

Kumbukumbu ya Udikteta wa mwendazake Francisco Franco waipasua Uhispania miaka 50 baada ya kifo​

Kundi la Upinzani wa kihafidhina nchini Hispania utasusia kuhudhuria kumbukumbu rasmi za kuadhimisha miaka 50 ya kifo cha dikteta wa mrengo wa kulia mwendazake jenerali Francisco Franco, na hatua hii kuweka wazi mgawanyiko wa kudumu wa legasi yake katika taifa la Hispania.


Jenerali Francisco Franco aliipindua jamhuri ya kidemokrasia ya Uhispania katika vita vya kikatili vya wenyewe kwa wenyewe vilivyoua mamia ya maelfu na kutawala kwa mkono wa chuma kwa miaka 36 mfululizo kuanzia mwaka 1939 hadi kifo chake mwaka wa 1975.

Waziri Mkuu wa Kisoshalisti Pedro Sanchez ametangaza karibu matukio 100 muhimu ya kukumbuka mnamo 2025 "kuonyesha mabadiliko makubwa yaliyopatikana" katika nusu karne tangu nchi hiyo ya Ulaya ianzishe mabadiliko yake ya kidemokrasia.

Makumbusho hayo yatahusisha pia sanaa katika jumba la Makumbusho la Malkia (Reina) Sofia huko Madrid - nyumbani uliopo mchoro wa "Guernica" wa mchoraji maarufu Pablo Picasso, mojawapo ya kazi maarufu zaidi inayomuangazia mwendazake dikteta Franco - imeandaliwa kama sherehe ya kwanza siku ya Jumatano.

Waziri mkuu Pedro Sanchez ataongoza maadhimisho ya kumbukumbu hizo lakini si Mfalme Felipe VI wa Hispania wala kiongozi wa chama kikuu cha kihafidhina cha Popular Party (PP), Alberto Nunez Feijoo, atakayehudhuria.

Alberto Feijoo anaamini kuwa mpango huo ni mbinu nyemelezi hadaa ya serikali ya wachache ya mrengo wa kushoto ili kuvuruga utata unaoangaziwa sasa kuhusu matatizo yanayoikabili serikali yake hususan changamoto za kisiasa na kisheria.

Uchunguzi wa ufisadi unaendelea dhidi ya mke wa waziri mkuj Pedro Sanchez na washirika wake wa kisiasa, huku Wanasoshalisti wakilazimika kujadiliana kwa uchungu na safu ya vyama pinzani na vyenye kujitenga ili kupitisha sheria bungeni.


Maadhimisho yaliyopangwa nchini kote ikiwemo katika shule, vyuo vikuu, makumbusho na mitaa ni kazi ya serikali ambayo "katika hali yake ya kukata tamaa mara kwa mara inaangalia yaliyopita kujiokoa ", Feijoo alisema.


Wasoshalisti wamejibu kwa kuashiria chimbuko la chama cha PP, kilichozaliwa mwaka 1989 kama mrithi wa Muungano wa Popular, ulioanzishwa mwaka 1976 na waziri wa zamani wa Franco.


Jamaa wa Waathirika wa utawala wa mwendazake dikteta Franco wakatishwa tamaa
Kundi la Mrengo wa kulia wa Vox , muungano wa tatu kwa ukubwa bungeni, pia kitapuuza mpango huo wa maadhimisho ya aliyekuwa dikteta Franco .


Mmoja wa wabunge wake hivi karibuni alisema bungeni kwamba utawala wa mwendazake dikteta Fransisco Franco "haukuwa kipindi cha giza, kama serikali hii ya sasa inavyoelezea, badala yake ni hatua ya ujenzi, maendeleo na maridhiano".

Kwa upande mwingine wa wigo wa kisiasa, Podemos wa mrengo mkali wa kushoto ameziita kumbukumbu hizo kama kiini-macho mazingaombwe "facade" ili kuficha fidia ndogo kwa waathiriwa wa udikteta.


Pedro Sanchez alipitisha sheria ya "kumbukumbu ya kidemokrasia" mnamo 2022 inayolenga kufufua kumbukumbu zao, pamoja na kuunda rejista ya waathiriwa na kuondolewa kwa alama za Wafaransa.

Lakini sheria haijajaribu au kuwahukumu maafisa wowote wa zamani wa Franco wanaotuhumiwa kwa uhalifu na ambao wanasalia hai huku wakinufaika na msamaha ulioidhinishwa wakati wa mpito, na kuwakatisha tamaa manusura.


Kumbukumbu ya mgawanyiko ya vita vya wenyewe kwa wenyewe vya 1936-1939 na jenerali Franco inatokana na kuangamia kwa serikali, kulingana na Joan Maria Thomas, profesa wa historia ya kisasa katika Chuo Kikuu cha Rovira i Virgili.

Franco akiwa na umri wa miaka 82 na mgonjwa alifariki dunia kwa amani hospitalini, tofauti na anguko la kustaajabisha la Ujerumani ya Nazi 1945 na Italia ya kifashisti Mussolini wakati wa Vita vya Pili vya Ulimwengu au Mapinduzi ya Carnation ambayo yalipindua udikteta wa mrengo wa kulia wa Ureno mnamo 1974.

Uchaguzi wa kidemokrasia ulifuatiwa mwaka wa 1977 na Wahispania wapya walioidhinisha katiba mpya katika kura ya maoni mwaka uliofuata, ambayo sasa inaadhimishwa kama Sikukuu ya Kitaifa kila mnamo Desemba 6.

Hatua 'Chanya' imepigwa
Nchini Uhispania, "kulikuwa na makubaliano makubwa yasiyo rasmi ... " ya kuacha kufukua makaburi kuangalia dhuluma za siku za nyuma chini ya utawala wa mwendazake dikteta Franco, Thomas aliiambia AFP.

Kukumbuka kifo cha dikteta jenerali Fransisco Franco kilikuwa "chanya" kwa sababu Uhispania ya leo "haizingatii umuhimu wa kurejesha mfumo wa kidemokrasia mwaka 1977 na kuweza kuuunganisha", alisema.

Lakini "hatuwezi kuepuka... au kupuuza kumbukumbu ya sehemu ya nchi yetu ambayo ilikuwa inamuunga mkono Franco, ambayo ilikuwa sehemu kubwa," aliongeza.


Wafuasi wa Kikatoliki wa kifashisti na wahafidhina walikuwa miongoni mwa wafuasi wake wakubwa waaminifu, na wakati mmoja walimheshimu dikteta jenerali Franco kwa wingi na kutembelea Bonde la Mashujaa Waliofariki, kaburi kubwa karibu na Madrid ambalo lilihifadhi kaburi la nwendazake jenerali Franscisco Franco .

Serikali ya awali ya Pedro Sanchez ilichukua hatua ya kihistoria ya kuondoa mabaki ya mwili wa dikteta Francisco Franco mnamo 2019 na kulibadilisha jina la bonde hilo, linaloonekana kama kumbukumbu ya ushindi kwa sababu yake.


Katika uchunguzi wa mwaka wa 2018 wa mchambuzi Sigma Dos wa gazeti la El Mundo la kila siku la kihafidhina, mpango huo wa kuondoa mabaki ya mwili wa dikteta Franscisco Franco kutoka makaburi ya mashujaa wa kitaifa ya Bonde la Waliofariki ulipata kuungwa mkono zaidi kidogo tu kuliko ulivyopingwa.
