The Spanish authorities finally refused to reburiate the dictator Francisco Franco in the crypt of the Cathedral of the Cathedral of Madrid

The Government of Spain confirmed that the dictator Francisco Franco (1892-1975) could not be buried in the crypt of the Cathedral of Almuden - the Cathedral of the Madrid diocese - after the exhumation of its remains of the tomb in the monumental complex "Valley of the Fali". The Minister of Justice of the country Dolores Delgado reported on Friday at a press conference on Friday. “We have reached the culmination of the process,” the head of the department noted. “We completed administrative production with all guarantees to exhumer Franco.” According to the minister, the remains of the dictator should not rest in the "valley of the fallen", since the complex "cannot be buried by one who is not a victim of a civil war."

Delgado clarified that the family of the dictator is given 15 days to choose a place for its reburial. At the same time, according to the head of the department, "the remains of Franco cannot get to the Cathedral of Almuden because of public order problems." “If there is no agreement with the family, the government reserves a decision where Franco’s remains will be buried,” Delgado emphasized.

“The only time is currently 15 days,” the minister said. According to her, "until all the steps have been taken, you can not continue the procedure."

The grandchildren of the dictator said that in the event of his exhumation, they advocate the transfer of the remains to the almuden crypt. In addition, Franco's relatives talked about his readiness to appeal to the country's Supreme Court because of disagreement with the position of Madrid.

Franco ruled Spain from 1939 to 1975. He died at the age of 82 in the Madrid hospital from a heart attack. The complex in which the dictator was buried began to be built in 1940 by order of Kaudillo himself as the monument to the memory of all those who died in the civil war. The construction of the "Valley of the Fali" was carried out by the forces of prisoners and was completed in 1958.

Earlier, the Government and the Congress of Deputies of Spain approved a decree giving a legal basis for the exhumation of the remains of Franco. The intention of the intelligence of the dictator was reported at the end of June by the Prime Minister of Spain Pedro Sanchez.

Initially, the Spanish government claimed that he had no opportunity to prevent the Franco family from rebooting the remains of his ancestor in the Almuden Cathedral, but then it changed his mind , offering to look for a decision in which "the remains of Franco would be in a worthy place, but at the same time could not become the object of any worship."
