The last public statue of Spain's former dictator, Francisco Franco, was removed on Tuesday.
Workers took away the statue, which stood on a street in Melilla, a Spanish enclave in Morocco, after the local assembly approved its removal Monday, the local Socialist party (PSOE), which is part of the ruling coalition in the regional government, said on Twitter. The removal was timed to coincide with the 40th anniversary of an attempted coup by Franco supporters, a government source told CNN.More Related News
