Here we are, nearly half a century on. Juan Carlos, caught up in economic corruption and showing contempt for the ordinary citizen of Spain in his lavish and indulgent lifestyle, abdicated in 2014, possibly to devote more time to his tax evasion and receipt of bribery activities.
I suppose his best moment was in 1981, in failing to lend support to Lieutenant-Colonel Tejero’s attempted coup, in favor of the fledgling democracy.
Juan carlos a traitor to the country.
Destroyed everything franco did well, and himself was full of shir
Oh my goodness! Communists in jail?!? The horror!
Intolerable DWL
A movie from the civil war wouldn’t be bad. Orwell escaping Barcelona and the communists trying to kill him.
@@p0rq there’s one heavily inspired by A Homage To Catalonia named Land and Freedom(1995) made by leftist political filmmaker Ken Loach. Haven’t seen it yet but I’ve heard good things and he did a decent job portraying the early IRA 1920s insurgency in The Wind That Shakes The Barley(2006). He’s biased toward a pro-socialist viewpoint though(if you mind that sort of thing),but I don’t think that it really detaches from the quality of his films.
@@jcc6913 nice, thanks. Like Ken Loach. I’ll check it out.
Haha
Love how it’s like ten left wing guys for every one right wing guy.
Now it’s like 100 to 1 on American Mainstream Media.
A constitutional monarchy is the nations best hope for stability and continuity. An institution above party politics who can only advise and warn. In England much of the benefit is the power that Elizabeth ll denies to others. Churchill said getting rid of the Kaiser was a mistake and that's why Japan was allowed to retain the Emperor.
Thats a joke
The king has zero power.
No, a Unitary Catholic Absolute Monarchy is the nation’s best hope for stability and continuity. We need a King who won’t be tied down by constant elections in order to do God’s Will.
@@WalterModel45precisely.
@@jonathanwebster7091 precisely the countri is being destroyed by the left and the King does nothing about it
If you read into laws and the constitution it's not true the monarch does some power.@@WalterModel45
Viva España !
This just in: Generalissimo Francisco Franco is still dead.
You're Shane McBryde and I'm not :D
@@civlyzed lol
I didn't even know he was sick!
🤣
This just in: The Second Spanish Republic is also still dead.
He was my hero.
Spain looked pretty good in 1970.
Thames tv can you show us some of the advertisement on your TV that period ?
Volume is not loud enough.
The audio is terrible:(
it's not 4k HD 1080p brudda, the audio was recorded when Franco was still alive.
You've got mail brought me here...
Why is "Fremantle" on the screen?
If I'm not mistaken, that is the Name of the Broadcasting channel that replaced Thames TV. I believe their parent company was bought out in the early 90s or something.
Most of my life since this documentary came out, I heard nothing but how evil Franco was and how the poor leftist revolutionaries were so heroic.
Then I watched the 2 hour Franco documentary and the Spanish Civil War documentary on the Zoomer Historian channel and realised that Spain was going to become a Stalinist prison country in the 1930's and Franco stopped that.
Franco was a hard man but he saved Spain and prevented Spain from becoming like North Korea.
There is a reason George Orwell wrote 1984 after he fought on the leftist side in the Spanish civil war and saw just how evil the leftists are.
I love Franco
I’m very glad they moved his rotten corpse from the Valley of the Fallen. Only sad that they couldn’t pull it to pieces and throw it on a garbage heap.
Viva Franco!
John 3.16-21
Mark 1.15 Jesus Christ saves repent and follow him today seek his kingdom today heaven and hell is real today is the day of salvation tomorrow might be to late.
Wish he was speaking Spanish.
The constitution was vpted 93% YES in referendum.
THIS MAN is in facebook jail
The number of fascists in the comments 😂
" “Parallel Mothers,” which is now playing in limited release following a world premiere at the Venice Film Festival, explicitly honors the thousands of victims of the late 1930s Spanish Civil War and its aftermath, in which the murderous dictator seized power until 1975"
“Murderous dictator” lol from 1930 through the 70’s communism absolutely wrecked havoc all over the world and Spain managed to stay united and avoid another fratricidal civil war
@@darkcat5649 Oh So FDR, George Orwell, Ernest Hemingway and most intellectuals, journalists and artists who supported the Republic were communists. Go back to school. I can tell you haven't even graduated.
Good, forget them pinko commies. ¡Arriba España!
The basque provinces are Spanish
