[@npe1]

In hindsight Joaquin Ruiz Jimenez proved to be right in the end. Democracy was achieved by a kind of gentlemen's agreement between the opposition and the more forward-looking elements of Franco's regime. This was the ruptura pactada of the late 1970's during the transition. Of course it also led to the pacto del olvido - the pact of forgetting - whereby the opposition decided to overlook the excesses of brutality during Franco's time and it has only been addressed in the past decade. It's also interesting that the commentator says ETA had not done a great deal, but this was 1969, in only a few short years that would change dramatically, to even include the assassination of Luis Carrero Blanco, Franco's Prime Minister, in 1973.

[@luisvega7]

They also assassinated over 800 innocent people -the vast majority civilians, during DEMOCRACY... they also practiced economic blackmail, issued death threats, kidnapped countless individuals and forcibly expelled over 250 thousand people from the Basque country, the vast majority Basques who didn't agree with ETA and left their homeland to dodge all the troubles and death threats... their politics relied on a supremacist and racist ideology towards other Spanish people who share the Iberian peninsula with them.

ETA was created by the CIA and EU in order to put pressure on Franco to surrender sovereignty and join the EU. They never believed in independence for Basque country, that's a complete lie and just a cover for their true purposes. They openly admitted wanting European federalist dictatorship run by commissioners from brussels, which is the same reason Britain recently declared independence because they realised it was a colonial tyranny run by unelected people they cant remove. Even Pro EU leftist globalist Wikipedia admits that ETA was merely a group created to use violence to force Franco to surrender to the EU globalist agenda. It makes clear ETA was a euro federalist group. Franco would never negotiate on matters of sovereignty, he would be disgusted if he saw how Spain has appeased and surrendered everything to the EU socially liberal globalist tyranny that dictates the peoples lives for the whole of Europe from far away without accountability. He would literally wage a nationalist war of liberation if he saw the treason that's taking place today. Its disgusting.

[@raphaelrau1728]

The documentary is definitely from 1969. It’s in colour. Juan Carlos was 31 in 68-69 and the e type jag was launched in the mid 1960s. Spain was not financial sound as a fascist dictatorship hence the opening up of tourism and would be described as a 2nd world country under Franco.

Basque Country is the cradle of ancient warriors and knights. They are less likely to be immigrated by Portuguese and Mooro people, so they have light skin, red lips, high noses, deep eyes, and look more elegant than other autonomous regions of Spain. Especially, they are a people with a martial spirit and a princely spirit. Typically, A.Bilbao club never buys players originating outside the Basque country. Real Sosiedas as well as 1 opposing team in each Spanish city are royally sponsored vassals. The Basque Country and Basque people are so beautiful an lovely.

[@asturiasceltic3183]

They are a handsome people and most of North Spain including the Asturianos look like them. A Basques face tends to have stronger, bigger, robust bones and an Asturianos and often times Galician is daintier and on the pretty side like Emilio Estevez and the Asturianu in my avatar. Catalans are extremely handsome but look more obviously Germanic to me than celtic (Catalan boys I have seen have a diamond shape face often times with light brown hair) but I have seen this to with Asturianus.. That's how I can tell them apart, atleast a Basque and an Asturianu, but most of the North resembles each other probably because they were once related somehow.

[@asturiasceltic3183]

If you are talking about the knights from the Reconquest those mainly are in Asturias (the cradle of the Reconquest founded by Don Pelayo) and that's why they have Santo in their surnames as part of a venerated title they were given for being a knight. That is why King Felipe calls himself King Felipe De Todos Los Santos de Bourbon Greca. He is the king of all the Saints especially in Asturias, where he is from. They are a celt-iberian Germanic people with Roman surnames sometimes. There probably were knights in Basqueland but didn't seem to be not given Roman titles. Maybe the Basques wanted to retain their unique surnames.

After Cambodia, Spain is the country with the most disappeared people. After the civil war, that itself killed half a million, 144.000 people filled mass graves around the country. Hundreds of babies were stolen from mothers deemed "unfit". Franco named Juan Carlos his successor and, once in power, he passed a law to forgive and forget all the crimes. The murderers kept their state positions and pensions, dying in their beds of old age. That's Spain.

[@thebrocialist8300]

The technocratic nucleus of the Spanish state is still strongly Francoist in orientation (with some modern bourgeois cosmopolitan influence introduced during the neoliberal period of development).

They were conducting military training in front of the eyes and protected by the French security forces. In Spain, 99% of ETA''s total assassinations took place during DEMOCRACY and not in FRANCOIST times whilst in France, they coexisted and continue to coexist within the French Republic without raising a word of discontent, the French Republic is extremely more centralised than Spain, which has 17 autonomous parliaments - the most decentralised country in Europe. Whilst they killed and kidnapped during democracy in Spain, they had a statute of autonomy and a Basque government and parliament and their own special tax collecting agreement within Spain, something only they and Navarre have - something unthinkable in France. Freedom fighters ? Don't make me laugh.

Many millions died at Franco’s hands, for simply having “incorrect thoughts” or inconvenient opinions. Tens of thousands suffered torture and cruel, inhuman, abusive imprisonments. Tens of thousands of women were systematically, intentionally and brutally raped in organized rapes dictated and scheduled by the nationalists and carried out by moorish troops because they had “incorrect” thoughts or political opinions. Tens of thousands of babies were taken from their mothers and given to nationalist families. Sound familiar? The mothers were later executed.

@@jaimealvarez5546 sadly the UK conservative govt in the 1930s was effectively pro Franco, they claimed to be neutral but appeased Hitler and Mussolini, taking no action when they financed and armed franco's fascists.The Spanish civil was the first act of appeasement of fascism,followed by appeasement in Czechoslovakia.If they had stood up to Hitler he would likely have backed down,the republic would have won and the republic would have had no need to accept help from Stalin,the whole of european history would be different as Hitler admitted he wasnt ready to fight a war in 1936 and would have backed down, but when the allies appeased him it emboldened him to continue his move towards war

[@arts-facts79]

Orwell, in "Homage to Catalonia" makes a translation error: He translates "Los nacionales" (the nationals) for "the nationalists" (los nacionalistas). Nationalism, can be a strong feeling for your land or ( as a second meaning) a political ideology wich demands a nation to be recognised as such. As for Spain has been a nation since nations, as a political concept, appear in human history, there is no room for spanish nationalist ideology. Both right and left wing ideologies reclaim nationalistic feeling for the land. You can read poets in the exile during Franco´s regime expresing their love for the spanish land. For example Luis Cernuda. The only nationalist ideologies we have in Spain are the Catalan, Basque and Galicians who want to become a nation that, till the present time, has never existed.

[@theendofmytether]

That's not true. The translation was correct. It's your political agenda that wants to correct it. In Spain, the TV & politiician talk about the nationalists as being the Catalans, Basques or Galicians, for example. But what about Spanish nationalists? Those who want their country unified, strong and revere the flag? Don't tell me theey aren't nationalists, because they are. They just don't want to be seen as the other side of the same coin as other nationalists.

[@arts-facts79]

@@theendofmytether Sorry but you know little about the spanish civil war. The side that won called themselves "Los Nacionales" not "Los Nacionalistas". It´s not the TV that says so. When looking for sources to study history it is better to read books. Or even you can ask around Spain, there are still people who where alive by those times or, definetly, have heard the stories from first hand

Social Democrat is code for communism. Historically, the Social Democrats will have moderate policies at first and call themselves socialist, they get more extreme policies after they are in power. The Russian Social Democratic Labour Party (RSDLP; Russian: Российская социал-демократическая рабочая партия (РСДРП), Rossiyskaya sotsial-demokraticheskaya rabochaya partiya (RSDRP)), also known as the Russian Social Democratic Workers' Party or the Russian Social Democratic Party. Formed to unite the various revolutionary organizations of the Russian Empire into one party in 1898, the RSDLP later split into Bolsheviks (majority) and Mensheviks (minority) factions, with the Bolshevik faction eventually becoming the Communist Party of the Soviet Union.

[@thebrocialist8300]

Franco was a Morisco 5th columnist who unleashed his North African forces against Iberians who sought true national recognition (e.g. Vassos and Catalans) and an equitable share of the economic surplus. Watching those goofy Civil Guardsman waddle around to that horrid brass ensemble was hilarious though.

Franco was partly the inspiration for George Orwell's "1984." Orwell fought on the side of the Republic, along with Ernest Hemingway and Franklin D Roosevelt

[@Horatio.Mantooth]

Orwell and Hemingway were then communists. Because Stalin also supported the Republican party. You think the leftists were so innocent?? When they lost the election they were burning churches and killing priests and doing political assassinations. Roosevelt was the same president who betrayed Patton and sided with Stalin. Stalin killed 20 million of his own people.

[@asturiasceltic3183]

@@Horatio.Mantooth The Left were social democrats and the Communism was never on the table as part of their reforms when they won the election. The Second Republic of Spain believed in democracy, human rights and freedom and equality for men and women. They believed in the right to vote, the right to elections, equal rights for rich or poor, people being paid for the work they done, the right for a woman to vote, freedom of exchange of ideas, freedom of speech, freedom of expression, freedom of the press and media and the right for the poor to own land, education for all children, the right to express one’s customs including listening to celtic music (or any kind of music), the right to speak one's language, the right to a divorce, “workers insurance,” tolerable working conditions, the right to practice their own religion, the right not to go to church every Sunday...Does that sound like communism to you?Under Franco's dictatorship, women were dependents of their husbands and fathers and needed their permission to travel, open a bank account or apply for a job. Women could not form "women's groups" and Franco allowed a husband to murder his wife if she committed adultery. That sounds like Sharia law. nder the Dictator you couldn't speak your language in the North nor express yourself. Basques couldn't speak their respective language, the Catalans, the Galicians and Asturians. It was even illegal to play bagpipes, play celtic flute or anything Celtic. You couldn't even practice objectivity or have a different opinion than the Dictator, like my journalist great-grandfather who wrote and spoke against Franco and his groupie Hitler
