The Franco years will become just a memory following the law which was past yesterday ordering any references to the dictator to be removed from public places.
The statue of Franco in Madrid was removed in March 2005. Now streets will be renamed and other references removed including plaques and insignias. Those who had relatives killed during the regime will be allowed to exhume bodies from the mass graves.
The exception to the law will be for architecture and symbols of artistic merit in churches.
