The Spanish left has appointed itself as the custodian of so-called \"historical memory\" while simultaneously spreading falsehoods about our past.<\/p>\n
This Thursday, Cadena SER published a video of Gema J. Maldonado stating<\/a>:<\/a> \"Speaking Catalan, Basque, and Galician was forbidden. Until Franco's death, no language other than Spanish could be used<\/strong>, can you imagine how much we would have missed?\"<\/em><\/p>\n SER's tweet has gone viral, but against its will. It already has over a thousand replies<\/a>, with many Twitter users debunking that lie with facts and examples. Because yes: it's a lie that Galician, Catalan, and Basque couldn't be spoken during the Franco regime<\/strong>. That dictatorship can be criticized for many things (like all dictatorships), but that accusation is as false as it is ridiculous<\/strong>. Let's review some examples:<\/p>\n ---<\/p>\n Photo: Jal\u00f3n \u00c1ngel.
