University Cancels Franco-Era Lecture

The Universidad Carlos III de Madrid has cancelled a lecture by a former vice-president of the Francisco Franco Foundation, Jaime Alonso, scheduled for Tuesday. The lecture, titled ‘¿Con Franco se vivía mejor?’ (Was life better with Franco?), was intended to rigorously analyze the Franco era, specifically its connection to contemporary issues like the economy and employment. This decision has sparked controversy and renewed debate surrounding the legacy of the Franco regime in Spain.
