The Government plans to bury Franco in el Pardo if the family insists on taking him to The Almudena

The Government is willing to bury the remains of Franco in El Pardo next to his wife, Carmen Polo, finally, if the family of the dictator does not agree, the time is ripe, to take charge of the same with the condition that they are not transferred to the crypt of the Almudena cathedral of Madrid.

media governmental rule out that the exhumation could be carried out at night and in secret. Point out that the date and all the details of the operation must be communicated with sufficient advance notice to the family, which must be present to pick up the pieces. If you waive it expressly or not confirm clearly his will in the appropriate time-frames, then it will be the Government that takes the reins of the later burial in the family vault in the cemetery of Mingorrubio in The Pardo.

The Executive has already undertaken the last phase of the administrative procedure for the exhumation of the corpse, although he admits that the resolution of the same will not be quick. Francisco Franco, according to Government estimates, out of the Valley of the Fallen, come 2019, are expected in the first quarter if there are no complications legal.

In Moncloa assume that the Church will collaborate in the final stage, and now the most controversial, in order to avoid that the family of the dictator they want, something that "have not reported yet officially", to move the remains to The Almudena, in the centre of Madrid, next to the Royal Palace. The Government admits that the cooperation of the Church is "imperative" for it is she, as stated in the Agreements Spain-Holy see, which has jurisdiction over places of worship and, in case of confrontation, could not be enforced on the above agreements, which have a range of international treaty and an ordinary law as the Historical Memory.

however, will this law now, despite successive delays, pending in Congress, to offer to the Church the justification on which to argue the refusal to let the dictator rest finally next to his daughter in the grave that the family Franco has a property in the crypt of the cathedral of madrid.

The Law of Historical Memory would provide "the greater good" -to ensure the safety and the respect due to the temple that may not occur acts of glorification to the creator of a dictatorship - who may avail of the Bishops ' Conference to prevent the burial, they claim from the Government.

do Not wait on the Executive problems with regard to the technical project of exhumation that must be submitted to the city Council of San Lorenzo de El Escorial and in the that now dominates a candidate from the left. This procedure is expected to be fast.

Not so, or at least this is what provides for the Government, the dispatch of the report is prescriptive, but not binding, that must develop the expert of Health Mortuary-dependent of the Community of Madrid. To dispose of this report, there is a period of 30 days from the date on which it is requested. In Moncloa assume that this term will be exhausted until the end. Once this procedure is fulfilled, it must be open a new term of 10 days for the family and those affected -the benedictine community of the Valley of the Fallen - filed claims and, if considered appropriate, resources. If this were the case, the exhumation would be delayed even more, perhaps much more.

Celebration of the 20-N Do Last year?

With a march falangist started yesterday the acts that all the years leading up to the Valley of the Fallen to the supporters of Franco and Primo de Rivera, are buried in the basilica. If the Government fulfills its plan to exhume from there to the dictator, it may be the last year that the tomb of Franco will welcome this commemoration.
