Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez announces that, in November, he will publish a list of the symbols of Francoism that will be removed from public spaces, 50 years after the death of dictator Francisco Franco.

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez stated that by the end of November, the Government will publish a complete catalog of Francoist symbols that will be removed from public spaces, marking 50 years since the death of dictator Francisco Franco. This initiative comes in a context where Spain is deeply divided regarding the legacy of the Francoist dictatorship. Statues, street names, and other symbols that glorify Franco's regime continue to exist throughout the country, which has been criticized by numerous associations and Sánchez's Government.

The actions to remove these symbols began in 2007, with the 'Historical Memory' Law, and were accelerated under Sánchez's leadership, who exhumed Franco's remains from the 'Valle de los Caídos' Mausoleum and adopted a new 'Democratic Memory' Law in 2022. This law created a Registry of Franco's Victims and required mayors to remove symbols of the dictatorship, although they face resistance from nostalgic supporters of the regime.
