People from Asturias might remember the fact that Franco ws the general in charge of putting down the labout unrest in the mining regions of Asturias in 1934. A good dry run to get the troops used to turning on their fellow citizens.

Catalans, of course, resent Franco for abolishing the Generalitat and suppressing the Catalan language.

Madrid was laid siege and bombed for almost 3 years, but regrettably the right wing is strong there. What a shame.
