More from Francisco Franco
"I have never governed against the will of the people, but rather for the will of the people."
"One thing that I am sure of, and which I can answer truthfully, is that whatever the contingencies that may arise here, wherever I am there will be no communism."
"Against our country is a communist Masonic conspiracy, unrelated to the political class, which is built on red terror. They do not see the spiritual foundation that to us is honor, but to them — shame…"
"I have never understood why people talk about 'two Spains.' There is only one Spain."
"The new Spain will be built on the foundations of tradition and order."
About Francisco Franco (1892-1975)
Spanish general who won the 1936-1939 Civil War with Axis backing and ruled Spain as dictator until his death in 1975. Closely associated with António de Oliveira Salazar (Portuguese dictator and ideological cousin). For an intellectual contrast, see Dolores Ibárruri, Spanish Communist Civil War leader known as 'La Pasionaria' — Ibárruri's '¡No pasarán!' (They shall not pass) speech became the Republican rallying cry against Franco's Nationalist forces. Franco's Nationalist Spain and Ibárruri's Republican Spain were the two opposed answers to the same 1930s Spanish question — the Civil War's two sides personified.
