Spain marks 50 years since Franco's death and the end of his dictatorship.

On Thursday, Spain commemorates 50 years since the end of Francisco Franco's dictatorship, which lasted four decades and ended with his death on November 20, 1975. The dictatorship began after a right-wing military rebellion in 1936, which led to a brutal civil war. Franco's regime was marked by severe repression, with estimates of 130,000 to 200,000 summary executions. Although the exhumations of victims have been slow due to logistical and legal challenges, Spain is now facing a rise in nostalgia for the dictatorship, especially among young people.

A recent survey showed that 20% of young people aged between 18 and 24 consider the dictatorship to be "good" or "very good." Teachers observe the influence of social networks on young people, who are drawn to far-right ideas and a distorted view of the past. This situation raises concerns about the education of young people and the impact that Islamophobic and anti-transgender comments have on adolescents.
