Top journalism 10/10
BEST FUCKING COMMENT HERE!!!

Nice support of fascism......real nice. I hope you never have live under a fascist regime.....I really do.
I wonder if he left jail alive.
time stamp pleaseee
These preserved slices of our collective history, presented with resolution and audio cleaner than when first broadcast, are more important than we realise - it's taken a long time for me to grasp that old cliché "History repeats".
It's cliché though, for very good reasons.
Many thanks for making this available.
Very well said. I find they provide a fascinating new insight on many issues still very much present with us today…
@@Housey1985 very much agree 👍 we want change, stability and a hopeful future...
...with our tech racing ahead and other crucial leaps made in science and engineering...
...but besides the clothes and lingo, humans simply haven't had the time to 'evolve' - separated by centuries we're still, fundamentally, working on that 🤤
Thanks for commenting, I feel there's always more to hear, compare and reflect on when it comes to random comments on random videos :)
@@Housey1985Like what? History repeats because people keep bringing it up instead of moving on.
This Spanish industrialist must have done his schooling in England. Speaks impeccable Queen"s English.
You admired that?
@@NikoHL Yep
He's of english origin and went there to set up a cherry business. The European aristocracy are practically an ethnicity and they all interbreed with each other.

Miss good, informative, non-biased BBC reporting like this--the epitome of state-funded, independent broadcasting.
It's a Thames TV show not BBC.
The Thatcher government refused to renew their broadcast license after the documentary Death on the Rock

It's nothing to do with the BBC
State funded and independent. Never heard that one before.

You are old enough to remember BBC, CBC, ABC, even PBS being better media outlets, without the censorship of advertisers, billionaire owner editorial control and at-will employee toadying.
What makes these outlets poison today is the tribal control and needs of global capital to control narratives.
Private media is just as bad---and no longer even makes a profit. Even when they did a couple of decades ago, it was through advertising, not subscriptions.
A very interesting document from the past. A time capsule..Spain still plagued by conflicts old and new. 🇪🇸🐂
That's a fair comment...
Agree, these older documentaries, contemporaneous with the events they describe, are fascinating. Like an eye-witness they truly bring history to life. No need for the benefit of hindsight here. So far Spain has done well under its constitutional monarchy - I wish that beautiful country well.
I agree very fair assessment and refreshinf. Cant believe the amount of support for authoritarians on the internet.

ThamesTV isn't the BBC - Thames was/is part of the independent competition to the BBC: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_Thames_Television

While i was watching i was thinking the same... what a shame of new politicians that we have on the present days... they have no comunications skills in other languages.
@Thad tuiol Facepalm,a lot of the people were dubbed over.Did you not hear the Spanish or Catalan behind the voice over?

who is the older guy at 4:00 who speaks throughout the documentary?
In hindsight Joaquin Ruiz Jimenez proved to be right in the end. Democracy was achieved by a kind of gentlemen's agreement between the opposition and the more forward-looking elements of Franco's regime. This was the ruptura pactada of the late 1970's during the transition. Of course it also led to the pacto del olvido - the pact of forgetting - whereby the opposition decided to overlook the excesses of brutality during Franco's time and it has only been addressed in the past decade. It's also interesting that the commentator says ETA had not done a great deal, but this was 1969, in only a few short years that would change dramatically, to even include the assassination of Luis Carrero Blanco, Franco's Prime Minister, in 1973.
They also assassinated over 800 innocent people -the vast majority civilians, during DEMOCRACY... they also practiced economic blackmail, issued death threats, kidnapped countless individuals and forcibly expelled over 250 thousand people from the Basque country, the vast majority Basques who didn't agree with ETA and left their homeland to dodge all the troubles and death threats... their politics relied on a supremacist and racist ideology towards other Spanish people who share the Iberian peninsula with them. You failed to mention that !

@@FN_FAL_4_ever shut u you fucking moron
dmctztv no
ETA was created by the CIA and EU in order to put pressure on Franco to surrender sovereignty and join the EU. They never believed in independence for Basque country, that's a complete lie and just a cover for their true purposes.
They openly admitted wanting European federalist dictatorship run by commissioners from brussels, which is the same reason Britain recently declared independence because they realised it was a colonial tyranny run by unelected people they cant remove.
Even Pro EU leftist globalist Wikipedia admits that ETA was merely a group created to use violence to force Franco to surrender to the EU globalist agenda. It makes clear ETA was a euro federalist group.
Franco would never negotiate on matters of sovereignty, he would be disgusted if he saw how Spain has appeased and surrendered everything to the EU socially liberal globalist tyranny that dictates the peoples lives for the whole of Europe from far away without accountability. He would literally wage a nationalist war of liberation if he saw the treason that's taking place today. Its disgusting.

A very interesting document from the past
The documentary is definitely from 1969. It’s in colour. Juan Carlos was 31 in 68-69 and the e type jag was launched in the mid 1960s. Spain was not financial sound as a fascist dictatorship hence the opening up of tourism and would be described as a 2nd world country under Franco.
Spanish civil war or generals uprising , which one is it ?
I’d like to see more statistics about Spanish quality of life during this period. There’s a reason these people failed to create a groundswell of rebellion.
The producers of this video have an agenda.
The documentary narrator said on the video that the year of the video is 1961, but your title says that it was from 1969. Even the style of the cars and fashion looks more like the early 1960's.
Do the math: The narrator in the film says Franco is 76. Franco died in 1975 at the age of 82. The difference between 82 and 76? 6 years. What is 6 years prior to ‘75? ‘69, Dude!
Everything looks older because it’s a conservative military dictatorship. They weren’t on the cutting edge of fashion or technology.
Also they’re filming PATTON in the film which was released in 1970.
It talks about 1968 events in France & Mexico City so 1969 seems more reasonable.
The year can’t be 1961 by the priests are celebrating the Novus Ordo ‘mass,’ which wasn’t promulgated until like 1968-69.
3:14 spanish acting talent is no joke. whether on football pitch or basketball court, always the best performance 🙃
Funny how the narrative changes over time
Big thonk
Many of the Spanish interviewees speak excellent English.
32.53 Manuel Fraga.. I met him a couple of times back in the 90's. When I worked in La Coruña. He was then President of Galicia. We would always talk to each other in English. Nice guy, I remember him often.
How to know about franco's influence over real madrid??
Franco was an admirer of Barcelona. in fact they had a super special relationship and it was like their honorary president. barcelona awarded franco 2 prizes in the form of trophy and club titles.
@@baltasarmelchor935 added to the fact he was actually an Atleti fan. He only showed support for Madrid when they became popular and successful.
To be honest it doesn’t seem as bad as I was told it was by western mainstream media. He also refused to let Spain to join European Union and therefore become a satellite state. I respect that a lot.
Funny thing is Switzerland did the same but upheld it direct democracy and freedom. Crazy how that works. But again tells how Franco was great for doing the same but not allowing freedom or democracy and murdering people. He was a POS
9:58 he be suprised what they did to priest under the lefts control

Basque Country is the cradle of ancient warriors and knights. They are less likely to be immigrated by Portuguese and Mooro people, so they have light skin, red lips, high noses, deep eyes, and look more elegant than other autonomous regions of Spain.
Especially, they are a people with a martial spirit and a princely spirit. Typically, A.Bilbao club never buys players originating outside the Basque country. Real Sosiedas as well as 1 opposing team in each Spanish city are royally sponsored vassals.
The Basque Country and Basque people are so beautiful an lovely.
They are a handsome people and most of North Spain including the Asturianos look like them. A Basques face tends to have stronger, bigger, robust bones and an Asturianos and often times Galician is daintier and on the pretty side like Emilio Estevez and the Asturianu in my avatar. Catalans are extremely handsome but look more obviously Germanic to me than celtic (Catalan boys I have seen have a diamond shape face often times with light brown hair) but I have seen this to with Asturianus.. That's how I can tell them apart, atleast a Basque and an Asturianu, but most of the North resembles each other probably because they were once related somehow.
If you are talking about the knights from the Reconquest those mainly are in Asturias (the cradle of the Reconquest founded by Don Pelayo) and that's why they have Santo in their surnames as part of a venerated title they were given for being a knight. That is why King Felipe calls himself King Felipe De Todos Los Santos de Bourbon Greca. He is the king of all the Saints especially in Asturias, where he is from. They are a celt-iberian Germanic people with Roman surnames sometimes. There probably were knights in Basqueland but didn't seem to be not given Roman titles. Maybe the Basques wanted to retain their unique surnames.

"ETA - they want an independant Basque state" ...funny that they only killed in Spain and NOT in France... The Basque country is located in both places and the French republic does not contemplate the secession of any of its territories !! They were conducting military training in front of the eyes and protected by the French security forces. In Spain, 99% of ETA''s total assassinations took place during DEMOCRACY and not in FRANCOIST times whilst in France, they coexisted and continue to coexist within the French Republic without raising a word of discontent, the French Republic is extremely more centralised than Spain, which has 17 autonomous parliaments - the most decentralised country in Europe. Whilst they killed and kidnapped during democracy in Spain, they had a statute of autonomy and a Basque government and parliament and their own special tax collecting agreement within Spain, something only they and Navarre have - something unthinkable in France. Freedom fighters ? Don't make me laugh.
They just ignored the fact that ETA was a bolshevik totalitarian Terrorist group. Fuelled by the money given by the URSS via Cuba, and the money they made through Drug dealing, arms dealing, counterfitting, kidnap, blackmail, and money laundering.
Basque people stay strong 💪
As we dated as the regime looks now, look at the basket case Spain is today under the EU.
For Greece, it gets worse.
And that is what Franco did. Just before he died he restored the Kingdom of Spain. Let him rest with his daughter Carmen in Madrid and make The Valley of the Fallen a true monument for all victims of the horrible civil war
Compare this quality of report to today media's. great gap is there.

ARRIBA ESPAÑA
This documentary is not from 1969. It must be from 1979
Franco was dead by 1979
After Cambodia, Spain is the country with the most disappeared people. After the civil war, that itself killed half a million, 144.000 people filled mass graves around the country. Hundreds of babies were stolen from mothers deemed "unfit". Franco named Juan Carlos his successor and, once in power, he passed a law to forgive and forget all the crimes. The murderers kept their state positions and pensions, dying in their beds of old age. That's Spain.
Indeed. The technocratic nucleus of the Spanish state is still strongly Francoist in orientation (with some modern bourgeois cosmopolitan influence introduced during the neoliberal period of development). Seeing the Spanish state’s response to the Catalonian national struggle tells you all you need to know.
also many people fought against that and were put in jailed
That is because of the non registered mass muerders in the red zone.

@Pan-European Nationalist You are entitled to your own opinion but you are not entitled to your own facts. The way you characterized the legally elected Spanish government is false. Read a book.
@Pan-European Nationalist There is a long answer to your statement (which I believe to be substantially incorrect). I do not have time to attempt that answer this morning I will only point out that that must be why the current LEGALLY ELECTED government of Spain is moving to legally dig up and remove the filthy remains of the Catholic fascist mass-murderer & Dictator Francisco Franco.

The SOVIET UNION made Hitler into mincemeat.
Life is worthless
Fidel Castro was terrible
Franco saw what happened to Mussolini and Hitler.
Maybe he was the wisest of the three, on the other hand Spain was broken, ruined by the recent civil war and not really in a position to enter another war.
@James Henderson Show me the evidence/proof of that?
Good, he just keep it to himself and doesn't or i mean rarely implement racial policy. That is good step but still, the traces of the fascist elements still there and democracy died within it
"Character is better than intelligence I think" This is the dumbest comment I have ever heard. "If the roof leaks, well, it doesn't rain that much" 2nd dumbest comment I've heard.

Hilarious. Most of the populace were dirt poor. The main income was American money for nuclear air bases and agriculture. If you were the small elite who supported Franco you were OK though.
@@simac8640 Yeah....Spain really prospered under the Republic. Its really hard to beat Socialist and Anarchist economics. Franco ruined a beautiful system. Dumbass. Socialism kinda works in Nordic countries. Largely because they are very united in their ideal of being one people. Spain is not a very unified country... Never has been. Telling a Catalan that he needs to pay 63% of his income in redistributive taxes because Andalucians arent very industrial is a HARD sell my dude. Leftism is just so tired... Yawn.

Social Democrat is code for communism. Historically, the Social Democrats will have moderate policies at first and call themselves socialist, they get more extreme policies after they are in power.
The Russian Social Democratic Labour Party (RSDLP; Russian: Российская социал-демократическая рабочая партия (РСДРП), Rossiyskaya sotsial-demokraticheskaya rabochaya partiya (RSDRP)), also known as the Russian Social Democratic Workers' Party or the Russian Social Democratic Party.
Formed to unite the various revolutionary organizations of the Russian Empire into one party in 1898, the RSDLP later split into Bolsheviks (majority) and Mensheviks (minority) factions, with the Bolshevik faction eventually becoming the Communist Party of the Soviet Union.

Franco should have invaded Gibraltar in 1940.
Lol
let him fucking try
that way the UK could depose him and set a new democratic government
@@jaimealvarez5546 sadly the UK conservative govt in the 1930s was effectively pro Franco, they claimed to be neutral but appeased Hitler and Mussolini, taking no action when they financed and armed franco's fascists.The Spanish civil was the first act of appeasement of fascism,followed by appeasement in Czechoslovakia.If they had stood up to Hitler he would likely have backed down,the republic would have won and the republic would have had no need to accept help from Stalin,the whole of european history would be different as Hitler admitted he wasnt ready to fight a war in 1936 and would have backed down, but when the allies appeased him it emboldened him to continue his move towards war
@William Traynor-Kean To close the Mediterranean to the Royal Navy. Franco could easily have taken Gibraltar with German help.
Viva la República y las brigadas internacionales
❤️💛💜
How did Franco not get swept away along with the other Fascists after WW2?
He remained neutral, wasn't a threat and he was an anti-Communist.
Because he won the war, remained neutral and was useful to your anglosaxon countries to stop Sovietism and also to have a pacified place with good food and weather to go on holidays.
Because the majority of Spaniards are Francoists - to this day.
Because he happily stabbed those foreign fascists who had supported him in the back. The only good thing he ever did.
Because Spain would have fallen to the communists, and the cold war with the USSR holding Spain would have been very hot. Remember incidents like the Cuban missile crisis? Those were the real threats, Spain already figured it out 6 years before the rest of the world did.

Orwell, in "Homage to Catalonia" makes a translation error: He translates "Los nacionales" (the nationals) for "the nationalists" (los nacionalistas). Nationalism, can be a strong feeling for your land or ( as a second meaning) a political ideology wich demands a nation to be recognised as such. As for Spain has been a nation since nations, as a political concept, appear in human history, there is no room for spanish nationalist ideology. Both right and left wing ideologies reclaim nationalistic feeling for the land. You can read poets in the exile during Franco´s regime expresing their love for the spanish land. For example Luis Cernuda. The only nationalist ideologies we have in Spain are the Catalan, Basque and Galicians who want to become a nation that, till the present time, has never existed.
Which area of Spain is Galicia?
@@Smudgeroon74 North west, just above portugal
That's not true. The translation was correct. It's your political agenda that wants to correct it. In Spain, the TV & politiician talk about the nationalists as being the Catalans, Basques or Galicians, for example. But what about Spanish nationalists? Those who want their country unified, strong and revere the flag? Don't tell me theey aren't nationalists, because they are. They just don't want to be seen as the other side of the same coin as other nationalists.
@@theendofmytether Sorry but you know little about the spanish civil war. The side that won called themselves "Los Nacionales" not "Los Nacionalistas". It´s not the TV that says so.
