Hi Everyone!
I have been doing a lot of reading on Francisco Franco the former Dictator of Spain. I have also been discussing Franco with Spanish people who lived under him during his Dictatorship.
I have come to the conclusion that he was a great man who did wonders for Spain. He restored order and religious tolerance in Spain and even saved Christianity from oppression from the Socialist Republic who murdered over 6,000 catholic priests just because they were Christians.
Franco wasnt Racist.
Franco wasnt Anti-semitic as he saved thousands of Jews from Hitler in WW2.
Franco didnt like Hitler.
Franco tole Hitler to go and stuff it in their meeting in 1939 train car meeting. This meeting was Hitler trying to convince Franco to join with him with Hitlers Eastern Front and fight the communists in Russia. Hitler tryed to Taunt him and say that he owed him a favor because of the aid given to him in the spanish civil war that helped Francos Nationalist Army beciome victorios over the Socialists and stop Spain from becoming another Iron Curtain country for Stalin. Franco stood firm and after the meeting Hitler said ''Id rather have my tooth pulled out than meet with Franco again''!
Franco was a credit to Spain and Christianity. He was a firm dictator but certainly not an evil one. People of Spain allways had a job for life and their were never any redundacies. Franco was the one who made the decision to open up Spain to the Tourist industry thereby creating a strong economy with money constantly coming into Spain. Under Francos regime you could leave your doors unlocked in the day and at night and no-one would break in. Spain was virtually crime and drug free and was therefore a much better place to bring up children than todays Spain.
Does anyone agree with me?
