Germany, Greece and Franco’s Blue Division

Posted by Dave Emory ⋅ December 6, 2015 ⋅ Post a comment

Wolf­gang Schauble (Ger­many’s Finance Min­is­ter) has stat­ed that Ger­many need­n’t repay the bil­lions it stole from Greece dur­ing World War II, because a gov­ern­ment is not oblig­at­ed to ful­fill the pledges of pre­vi­ous regimes. The fact that Ger­many con­tin­ues to pay pen­sions to vet­er­ans of Spain’s Blue Divi­sion (which fought on the East­ern Front dur­ing World War II) sug­gests that the Ger­man gov­ern­men­t’s judg­ments are self-serv­ing­ly selec­tive.

FTR #825 Generalissimo Francisco Franco May NOT Be So Dead, After All

Posted by Dave Emory ⋅ December 7, 2014 ⋅ 8 comments

Fas­cist dic­ta­tor Fran­cis­co Fran­co passed away decades ago, yet his polit­i­cal lega­cy lives on. Through­out Spain, memo­ri­al­iza­tion of Fran­co and his sol­diers con­tin­ues. The per­pet­u­a­tion of that lega­cy is evi­dent in the polit­i­cal resume of Mar­i­ano Rajoy, the son of a Fran­co judge. Rajoy’s Pop­u­lar Par­ty is a “kindler, gen­tler” edi­tion of Fran­co’s Falange. In addi­tion to jin­go­is­tic saber rat­tling at the British ter­ri­to­ry of Gibral­tar, Rajoy is join­ing with Argenti­na to pres­sure the UK over the Fal­ka­lnd Islands. By danc­ing in tan­dem with Argenti­na, Rajoy is embrac­ing the geo-polit­i­cal lega­cy of Hitler, who select­ed Spain as his first tar­get for con­trol because of its influ­ence in Latin America–Argentina in par­tic­u­lar.


General Francisco Franco May NOT Be So Dead, After All

Posted by Dave Emory ⋅ December 30, 2013 ⋅ Post a comment

In addi­tion to its aggres­sive, nation­al­is­tic stance toward the British ter­ri­to­ry of Gibral­tar, Spain has been man­i­fest­ing ele­ments of its fas­cist past. Mar­i­ano Rajoy’s Peo­ple’s Par­ty incor­po­rat­ed much of the cadre of Fran­cis­co Fran­co’s Falange. With social unrest grow­ing from Spain’s dire eco­nom­ic straits, that fas­cist her­itage is evi­dent in that coun­try’s present polit­i­cal land­scape.
