December 8, 2023 - Hundreds of people gathered in Guernica, Basque Country, to form a human flag in solidarity with the Palestinian people, as air raid sirens filled the air. The town of Guernica became symbol and a rallying cry against war crimes and the slaughter of civillians after German and Italian planes bombed the town for Franco's fascists in 1937, during the Spanish civil war, killing hundreds of innocent civillians.

That the news of the day is that a candidate to Basque presidency refused to call ETA terrorists - while saying LUCKILY the group doesn't exist anymore - in a state where
there was a state terrorism group nobody has payed for
there were several far-right terrorist groups whose victims aren't even recognized as terrorism victims
there's a Francisco Franco Foundation, devoted to the dictator, his regime, and legacy.
there are bars devoted to Francoism filled with fascist imagery.
the generals of the army were discussing about the need to fire-squad 26 million of Spaniards ie. people in Spain who aren't voting right or far right.
there are tons of reports of police torture and international sentences about it against Spain, and their perpretators were awarded promotions.
the biggest right-wing party comes directly from Francoism and has never spoken against the regime.
is, sadly, so clear to understand.
