Fascists march through Madrid to commemorate dictator’s anniversary

Performing fascist salutes and carrying Franco-era national flags, members of the Falange — an organisation that considers itself the heir to the now-defunct fascist movements that helped bring Franco to power during the devastating 1936–1939 civil war — gathered on November 21 to honour the movement’s founder, Jose Antonio Primo de Rivera, Euractiv reported.

De Rivera’s death anniversary falls on the same date as Franco’s, but the Falange primarily used the occasion to denounce what it calls democratic Spain’s 1978 constitutional “regime,” which followed the end of Franco’s rule from 1939 to 1975, which continues to divide society and fuel political polarisation.
