Spain commemorated the 50th anniversary of General Francisco Franco's death with a complex legacy marked by deep societal divisions and efforts to reconcile with its dictatorial past.The left-wing government led by Pedro Sánchez organized numerous events under the theme "50 Years of Freedom" and launched a campaign aimed at honoring democracy and combating far-right historical revisionism.Despite government plans to transform the Valle de los Caídos into a site for democratic memory, Spain remains deeply polarized over Franco's legacy with significant opposition from Vox and ongoing debates about political and social views.
