Francisco Franco Bahamonde (El Ferrol 4-XII-1982) did not die on November 20, 1975 at 5:25 a.m. that day but, exactly, six hours before, on the 19th at 9:25 p.m. For years this data was manipulated because these six hours were necessary to launch the Operation Luceroa strategy of “state” political cover, declared the general HawksFranco’s assistant, to obey the orders of the deceased soldier: “Leave everything tied up and well tied up.” In 1980, the personal doctor of the head of state, Vicente Pozuelo Escuderohe ended up confessing to the two journalists who helped him write The last 476 days of FRANCOwith the last name in capital letters, the reality of death, but then he told us: “After five years, the only important thing is that he is dead.” He said it with great sadness.
He died of all possible complications, but mainly of peritonitis causing shock which complicated his slow agony during part of October and, of course, November. Curiously, some of the many doctors who all this time attempted the miracle of revitalizing Franco’s battered body demanded that peritonitis, the origin of all illness, be omitted from the corresponding death certificate, leading to a discussion very harsh. In the end, “clinical truth prevailed” Dr Pozuelo Dixit.
This endocrinologist, who had replaced another Vicente of the family name Gilpresident of the Spanish Boxing Federation (the Marquis of Villaverde and he finally struck), he spent the last week of the so-called leader’s life begging his colleagues that “enough is enough!”, that they stop with bigger and bigger maneuvers, that all was lost .
Pozuelo explains it this way: “We have come this far; From here, Providence. They paid him little attention; On the same day of his death, the patient received peritoneal dialysis associated with the administration of Dopaminewhich helped him keep his blood pressure under control, but soon the cardiologists, mainly the doctor Vital Azathey informed the other specialists, a legion which did not lack a dentist and what is even funnier, a Callien, that there was nothing more to be done.
Luis Carandell he writes with amusement that the use of the podiatrist was justified because Franco had always appreciated “his little feet”. Franco died with a spectacular flat, cyanotic EEG, a bluish color typical of skin to which blood no longer reaches.
Franco died and for almost thirty years, almost all Spaniards, with the exception of a few nostalgic people, wanted to forget him. THE Transitionhis reconciliatory fury was responsible. But in 2004 it happened (between bombs and lies) Shoemaker and resurrected the memory of the dictator. Previously, he had also taken care to regenerate for history the figure of another soldier, his grandfather, Captain Lozanowhich he displays as a victim of Franco’s repression.
Lie: Lozano, in fact, was shot by the nationalists who anticipated the Reds because they pursued him with the same friction. Lozano was double agent and one or the other would have sent it to him. the book The great revenge He left the matter settled, but Zapatero continued with his nonsense: Franco was his man, he trusted the entire “right” opposition to install himself in the presidency and try – as the vice-president then claimed president Fernández de la Vegadaughter of a Francoist, moreover – that the said “right” would never return to power again.
Zapatero ended up humiliating his presidency, but ceded his legacy to a lying pseudo-doctor of economics, who persisted in blaming Franco responsible for all the misfortunes that had happened in Spain since ChindasvintoVisigoth king, to this day. He exhumed Franco’s bones (at his death he weighed barely thirty kilos), he dictated, as he dictated, a sectarian and infamous Historical Report in which the general’s effective ministers – like Lopez Rodo or López Bravo- appear like some murderers more cruel than the most bloodthirsty of ETAthose who are released from prison these days, thanks to the fortune of the fugitive Sánchez.
In Franco’s attack of malignancy, the children of the parents Franco loved so much stand out above all; They behave exactly with the virulent fury of the converted, little Bolaños is a good example. For these iconoclasts, the (almost) forty years of Franco are nothing other than four decades of criminality which contain no recoverable initiative. Neither the universalization of Compulsory health insurance or the marsh plan which irrigated the driest lands of Spain, are for these illiterate people authentic achievements of the Franco regime, there is nothing in it that can be recognized as good.
And what is happening? Well, many Spaniards aged forty and over who rejected the equestrian figure of the leader are now beginning to recognize it. They do it naturally the low thing, because otherwise, they are immediately described as fascists.
I will say it with complete clarity: between Franco and Sánchez, this conglomerate of aforementioned Spaniards remains with the former. They are part of a very little appreciation for freedoms -those that Franco denied- and yes, because of other vital circumstances, such as security and order which, together with the socialists, were destroyed. They feel attacked in their most intimate beliefs and generally season their complaints with old “with Franco, we lived better”.
It is a symptom based, for example, on this paradigm: Franco colonized all state institutions by decree; Sánchez did the same and, what’s more, he said he was doing it for our good. Or rather, for yours. It’s true: Back then, people didn’t vote, but now the crowd is wondering, “And What is the point of voting against Sánchez now? If he continues in power because of his terrible electoral results and widespread corruption? Such assessments can be described as pedestrian, but the truth is that there are stretchers on the tables of a multitude of Spaniards, many of whom have done everything possible to swallow the brown of the Transition.
It’s been 50 years since the dictator died and the worst that can be said is that the socialists made him fashionable. These are his exegetes. 49 years without Franco, but with more Franco than ever. This is the situation. As a faithful of the time exclaimed while showing the inauguration of several residential buildings: Great success of the regime! Today, the Sanchist regime proclaims: Ribera, an example for the world! With two…
