Spain to remove fascist party founder's remains from basilica.

The remains of José Antonio Primo de Rivera, founder of the Falangist party, will be exhumed from the Valley of the Fallen mausoleum outside Madrid and reburied in a cemetery in the Spanish capital. The move follows the introduction of the Historical Memory law, which aims to bring justice, reparation, and dignity to the victims of the Spanish civil war and subsequent dictatorship. The basilica, partly built by political prisoners used as forced labor, is dedicated to the memory of all those killed on both sides in the 1936-39 conflict, but only two of the graves beneath the basilica’s 150-meter-high cross were ever marked: those of Franco and of Primo de Rivera.
