SANTANDEROn Thursday, December 18, Santander withdrew the equestrian statue of Franco, who was in a central area of the city. 15 years ago, the journalist Albert Cañagueral and I crossed Spain from Ceuta, in the North of Africa, to the North of Spain in search of all the Franco traces. We did the story for El Periódico Dominical; there were good times for Journalism, newspapers and magazines used to finance good stories. What a difference now, where there is no money for projects and the crisis is especially virulent with the printed media.
In Ceuta, across the Strait of Gibraltar, we found the trace of Franco real footsteps printed in cement on the rock from which he controlled how the rebel troops, which had risen against the Republic, crossed the sea. The removal of the Santander equestrian statue is an unequivocal proof that they are, little by little, erasing the remnants of the Spanish fascist past, but ... It is really taken a hell of long time.
