The rally is held annually on the Sunday falling closest to Nov. 20, the date Franco died in 1975. The general ruled Spain for 36 years after leading a military uprising that started the Spanish Civil War. #Spain 
#Spain's Socialist-led government plans to exhume Franco's remains from the Valley of the Fallen, a mausoleum northwest of Madrid he ordered built as a memorial to the 1936-39 war. Some 34,000 people from both sides of the fighting are buried at the site, most of never identified
As you can see in the video, fascists kicked and beat anti-fascist feminist activists and who did police drag away? A fascist beat a feminist activist as the police restrained her and what did police do? pic @agarciacoronado h/t @Rafaxendra #Spain
The move by #Spain's Socialist-led government to exhume Franco's remains from the Valley of the Fallen mausoleum is applauded by Spaniards on the left and has infuriated others nostalgic for the dictatorship.
