Will General Franco Be Exhumed in a Matter of Days?
The Spanish Episcopal Conference has declared that it will pose no obstacle to the transfer of General Franco’s remains as decided by the Socialist government that wishes to transform the Valle de los Caídos into a “National Memory Center.”
The Socialist government is completing the preparations to exhume Francisco Franco. As the Vice President Carman Calvo confirmed on June 28, 2018, the executive branch has already contacted the Church and the dictator’s family to inform them of their decision to transfer the general’s remains from the Valle de los Caídos.
As the necropolis is under the Church’s jurisdiction, her approval was necessary for the procedure to be conducted, and it seems that she has granted it, according to the declaration from the spokesman for the Episcopal Conference on June 28, 2018: “The Church never decided who was to be buried in this place, and she will not decide who should stay there or not,” he declared, in words worthy of Pontius Pilate.
Carmen Calvo explained that the transfer of Franco’s remains is a matter of days: “We wish to do it as soon as possible.” As a preventive measure, and in order to avoid any disturbance to the public order, the civil guard around the tomb of the former Spanish head of State has been reinforced.
History is ironic: without batting an eyelash, the Spanish Catholic hierarchy approves the exhumation of the man who allowed it to survive in the days when its very existence was threatened by the Communist enemy with its massacres and atrocities.
It would seem that in the country of Cervantes, the real enemy is not so much windmills as Alzheimer’s.
