General Franco's Valley of the Fallen is emblematic of Spain's complex relationship with it's Fascist past.
Do monuments perpetuate the violence or memorialize past? link
this is incredibly insulting to anyone with at least one brain cell alive... how many Hitler monuments are there in Germany? you know, just to remember that once upon a time there was a very, very bad guy with a moustache killing jews every Monday morning?
article sucks as well -and therefore the guy who wrote it-...: "defending the rights of homosexuals, transsexuals, women and Catalans"?!???!?!
WHAT THE FUCK MEANS THAT? we don't need any Spanish asshole to defend us from anything..
that's what you get when you spend too many time interviewing with those Popular Party neanderthalesque religious fascist fanatics..
and I thought the NYT was a kind of periodical for leftist intellectuals...
oh, and I'm a Catalan but i've been once in the Valle de los Caídos and it's architecturally nauseating... the pinnacle of bad taste .. where the Italian fascists were doing interesting rationalist architecture and the germans fascists were trying to emulate the glory of Paris, the Spanish fascists did a very poor quality architecture, a ridiculous mix of north-american -19th Chicago- eclecticism, French grandeur and italian oldies that sucks almost as much as that NYT article...
