Spain to remove fascist founder's remains from Madrid tomb.

Spain will exhumate the body of Jose Antonio Primo de Rivera, founder of the fascist Falange movement, from a mausoleum near Madrid as part of a plan to convert the Valley of the Fallen complex built by Franco into a memorial to the 500,000 people killed during Spain's 1936-39 civil war. The exhumation follows the 2019 removal of the remains of dictator Francisco Franco. The government is currently carrying out works in the mausoleum to permit access to the crypts where 34,000 people's remains, many of them victims of Franco's regime, are buried anonymously, allowing families to identify their relatives.
