Young Spaniards are drawn to Franco’s legacy through online lies, fueling far-right support amid history education gaps.
Young Spaniards are increasingly drawn to General Franco’s legacy due to online disinformation romanticizing his dictatorship, despite its history of repression and human rights abuses.
Social media spreads myths that life was better under Franco, falsely crediting him with major achievements like dams, social security, and housing—claims experts say are misleading or false, as many projects predated his rule or were expanded posthumously.
A lack of comprehensive history education leaves youth vulnerable to these narratives, fueling rising support for far-right parties like Vox.
Educators are countering this by teaching students about mass graves, forced labor, and state violence, aiming to combat historical distortion with factual knowledge.
