#1 Franco's fascists are not entirely gone, it would appear.

#2 I dunno, Franco was not a fascist, he was more of a strong-arm, rightwing, catholic dictator. There were clearly fascist elements around him (José Antonio Primo de Rivera and the falange), but his regime was, as far as I know (not much), traditionalist & reactionary, not revolutionary & anticapitalist.

I don't know what Franco would see of today's "issues", and I don't know what the spanish far-right's relationship with saddam was (here in France, it was pro-saddam/baathist, and still is notably anti-US, with I feel, a resurgence of antisemitism, infused from the far-left).

#3 Cheeze. I can't recall the last time I even heard the name Primo de Rivera.
