TL;DR Summary

Spain will remove the body of fascist leader José Antonio Primo de Rivera from a mausoleum near Madrid as part of a plan to convert the Valley of the Fallen complex into a memorial for the victims of the country's civil war. Primo de Rivera was the founder of the Falange movement that supported the Francoist regime. His exhumation follows the removal of dictator Francisco Franco's remains in 2019. The government is also carrying out works to allow families to identify the remains of the 34,000 people buried anonymously in the mausoleum.
