Franco's Remains may possibly be Exhumed

I thought we’d go back to Franco for a second, so it seems that his remains may be exhumed and transferred to the El Pardo cemetery in central Madrid to be buried next to his wife. His remains are currently in the Valley of the Fallen, built by political prisoners. The decision over what to do will be delivered after November 20^th, which is both the anniversary of Franco’s death and the date of the elections, so as not to influence anything. The reason this is even being discussed is because of the Law of Historic Memory created in 2007 by the Socialists which has led to the removal of symbols commemorate the regime and to a large movement to exhume the unmarked graves of Republican victims. Obviously the Franco family is unbelievably angry over this issue and depending on the decision, may enact legal action. The site still brings about different strong reactions in many members of the Spanish community. For example, some supporters still attend mass there whereas other have pleaded unsuccessfully to have their family’s remains removed since they were among those who died fighting against him.
