Franco really is dead: Last statue of him on Spanish territory removed
The last statue of General Francisco Franco on Spanish soil has been removed, after the tiny enclave of Melilla voted to take down its monument to the fascist dictator.
Workers destroyed the brink plinth and carried away the statue, which had stood at the gates of the city on the north-west coast of Africa.
Only the far-right Vox party in Melilla had voted against its removal.
