La primera parte del programa de hoy la dedicaremos a discutir la actualidad. Comenzaremos con la muy esperada reunión entre los presidentes de Rusia y de Estados Unidos en Alaska. La reunión es mañana, pero todavía hay mucho de que hablar. ¿Está dejando Trump que Putin lo manipule… de nuevo? ¿Se arriesga Trump a ser el Neville Chamberlain por el Hitler de Putin? Después pasaremos al Medio Oriente. Ya hay 147 países que reconocen el Estado de Palestina. Pero este reconocimiento llega demasiado tarde. En el segmento de ciencia y tecnología del programa, discutiremos un estudio que advierte del alarmante aumento de los artículos falsos de investigación científica. Y concluiremos la primera parte del programa analizando una encuesta reciente de Gallup, que apunta a un aumento del bienestar a nivel global. Hay más gente que nunca que asegura estar prosperando en la vida. En los 142 países encuestados, el porcentaje de gente que asegura estar prosperando ha crecido de forma continua durante la última década, mientras que el porcentaje de quienes sufren ha bajado a solo un 7 por ciento. La segunda parte del episodio de hoy la dedicaremos a la lengua y la cultura españolas. La primera conversación incluirá ejemplos del tema de gramática de la semana, Other ways to Express Future. En esta conversación hablaremos de la historia de la migración en España y discutiremos qué ventajas tiene para el futuro del país. Y, en nuestra última conversación, aprenderemos a usar una nueva expresión española, Sin prisa, pero sin pausa. La usaremos para comprender cómo se hizo la Transición española. Es decir, el paso de la dictadura del General Franco a la democracia después de la muerte del dictador. Un cambio que, hoy en día, aún se discute si se hizo bien. ¿Recuerdan las negociaciones de Trump con Putin al pacto de Chamberlain con Hitler? Las intenciones recientes de reconocer Palestina se consideran insuficientes Un estudio estadístico advierte sobre la enorme cantidad de artículos falsos de investigación científica que se producen El bienestar global está aumentando, excepto en los países occidentales más ricos Envejecimiento de la población en Europa La Transición española

“They will never see their gold again, just as they do not see their own ears.”Josef StalinGold's strength is that its value exists in and of itself. It's nobody else's liability. Unlike money in the bank or a bond, it carries no promise from a third party, and its value is not dependent on the creditworthiness of any issuer or guarantor. Hand it to someone else and its value is transferred. It is a “bearer” asset, effectively owned by whoever has possession of it. For this reason gold has been the target of many a heist. Quickly resmelt it, and its provenance is very hard to prove.So there is one obvious problem with gold: that is keeping it safe. It's all very well having a pot of gold, but if somebody comes along and takes it from you, as Alexander did from the Persians, or the Conquistadors from the Incas, then you're left with nothing at all.When the Spanish Civil War broke out in 1936, the Soviet Union, under Joseph Stalin, supported the Spanish Republican government. The Nazis supported their opponents, the revolutionary fascist forces led by General Franco. At the time Spanish gold reserves, some 635 tonnes, were the fourth largest in the world.Much of that treasure had been accumulated during WWI, when Spain had stayed neutral. Selling stuff to the British seems to have been the really big earner: 70% of Spanish gold holdings were British sovereigns.With Franco just 20 miles from the capital, the Republicans were on the verge of defeat. Never mind the fascists, there were also rumours that Catalan separatists had hatched plans to take the gold from Madrid to Barcelona. All that gold was at risk.Finance minister, Juan Negrín, and Prime Minister, Francisco Largo Caballero, leant on President Azaña to sign a secret decree to move the gold - some 10,000 cases - to a place “which in his [Negrín's] opinion offers the best security”. Azaña signed and the gold was moved, starting the next day, to Cartajena on the south coast, as far from Franco's armies as possible. The Spanish soldiers who transported the cases thought they were lifting munitions. A fifth of it was then shipped to Marseille where it was traded for French francs, which the Republicans used to fund their side of the war. The rest, 510 tonnes, would be sent to Joseph Stalin in Moscow for safekeeping.Even if Bolshevik sympathisers, what were Negrín and Caballero thinking? The Russians had already demonstrated that they had no qualms about seizing other people's gold. In 1916, the Romanian government sent its treasury of 91 tonnes of gold to Tsarist Russia for safekeeping, worried that it was vulnerable to the Axis powers when Romania had just joined WWI on the side of the Entente. Shortly afterwards, during the Great October Revolution, communists, led by Lenin, seized power, sequestered the gold and refused to give it back. Though small amounts were returned in 1935, 1956, and 2008, “as a gesture of goodwill”, the large majority was retained. As you can imagine, it has been something of a sore spot in diplomatic relations between the two nations ever since.It seems Negrín and Caballero did not know the story. In any case, Caballero actually wrote to Stalin asking if he would “agree to the deposit of approximately 500 tonnes of gold.” Two days later, he got a reply from the Soviet leader, not previously known for his prompt responses. No surprise: Stalin would be “glad” to take the gold.Buying gold or silver to protect yourself in these ‘interesting' times? The bullion dealer I use and recommend is the Pure Gold Company. Pricing is competitive, quality of service is high. They deliver to the UK, the US, Canada and Europe or you can store your gold with them. More here.Alexander Orlov was the Russian agent in charge of transporting the booty. Negrín gave him fake documents to show he was an US official from the Bank of America, in case he should be stopped. Negrín, who, remember, was finance minister, had thought Bank of America was the US central bank. That would be the Federal Reserve. Russian agent Orlov didn't realise either. It's extraordinary.Four Russian ships came to Cartagena to collect the bounty, and the gold was loaded on. There was a discrepancy of 100 cases between Orlov and Spanish treasurer Mendez Aspe's number: Aspe said 7,800 cases, Orlov 7,900. Orlov said nothing. He reported the discrepancy to his superiors, who told him, “Do not worry about figures. Everything will be counted anew in Moscow. Do not mention your figure to anybody.” Aspe didn't even get a receipt off Orlov (who had been instructed not to give him one). “Don't worry, my friend,” said Orlov, “it will be issued by the State Bank of the Soviet Union, when everything is checked and weighed.” We will never know whether Orlov miscounted or whether those 100 boxes went missing.It took them three nights to load the four ships. The Russians then left Cartagena for Odessa in the Black Sea, escorted by the Spanish as far as Italy. From Odessa it was loaded onto a freight train bound for Moscow. "If all the boxes of gold that we piled up on the wharfs of Odessa were to be placed here side by side,” said one of the officials. “They would completely cover up the Red Square".When the gold arrived in Moscow, Stalin celebrated with a banquet at the Kremlin. “They will never see their gold again”, he laughed. “Just as they do not see their own ears.”The Spanish eventually got their receipt: for 5,619 standard cases and 126 damaged. Some distance below both Aspe and Orlov's figure. But three months later the Russians completed the audit, calculating that the shipments totalled 510 tonnes of gold coins and ingots, 90% pure, thus around 460 tonnes of pure gold. There were gold coins from across Europe and Latin America, especially those British sovereigns and Portuguese escudos, but also Spanish pesetas, French, Swiss and Belgian francs, German marks,, Russian rubles, Austrian schillings, Dutch guilders, and Mexican, Argentine and Chilean pesos. The numismatic value of the coins was higher than their gold content.The following year Spain met with a currency crisis. With exceptional chutzpah, even by the standards of politicians, Republicans blamed the inflation on the free market. Nothing to do with the absence of all that gold!Later, the Franco regime was happy to let the story of the "Moscow gold" stolen by Russia spread, as part of its anti-communist propaganda. And yet it appears sell orders from Negrín were actually carried out in 1937 and 1938, for which Spain received pounds, dollars and francs. Spain also received planes, tanks, machine guns, artillery, rifles, cartridges, food and fuel from Russia. The Soviets demanded some compensation for what they had sent during the war, but it's believed that aside from various expenses, the Soviets did not abuse their position and defraud the Spanish. Ultimately then, most of the gold went, one way or another, on the cost of the civil war. Such is the way with war. It is expensive.And just a couple or three years later, as Nazi forces advanced through Europe, the farce of transporting gold would be repeated many times over, and across the continent.Stories like this fill the pages of The Secret History of Gold (although this one didn't actually make the cut).The Secret History of Gold is available to pre-order at Amazon, Waterstones and all good bookshops. I hear the audiobook, read by me, is excellent. The book comes out on August 28. This is a public episode.

El ministro de Agricultura, Luis Planas, va a analizar los recortes de la PAC para el próximo presupuesto de la Unión Europea con las comunidades autónomas en la próxima reunión ordinaria de la sectorial y no en un encuentro extraordinario como le han pedido las comunidades del PP.

Concentración de UGT y Comisiones Obreras que en Granada han querido recordar a los dos trabajadores muertos en el accidente laboral ocurrido en Alcalá de Guadaíra, y denunciar lo que califican como falta de interés de la Administración en perseguir los incumplimientos de la Ley de Prevención de Riesgos Laborales.Colectivos memorialistas y de víctimas del franquismo reclaman la reparación de los represaliados y la identificación de las víctimas de la dictadura enterradas en fosas comunes en el día en el que se cumplen 89 años del golpe de Estado del General Franco.

General Franco er sur og oprørt over den politiske udvikling i Spanien og er nu blevet opsøgt af nogle kupmagere, der vil have ham overtalt til at deltage i et militært oprør.

Tánger, en Marruecos era una zona internacional, con un estatuto diferente y regida por diferentes naciones pero donde España reclamaba su protagonismo dentro del Protectorado español , en 1940 tras la caída de Francia, el General Franco ordenó la intervención del ejército español y la ocupación de la ciudad y su territorio en lo que sería la primera acción militar española de la segunda guerra mundial, quizás un preludio de la entrada en guerra a favor del Eje?

Iain Dale talks to historian Simon Heffer about the Spanish dictator, General Franco, who, after prevailing in the Spanish civil war, ruled Spain for the best part of 40 years.

How does Franco's reign in Spain connect to the rise of Trump? In this gripping true-crime thriller, financial journalist Gareth Gore, while investigating a bank collapse in Spain, follows the money trail to uncover a vast international conspiracy behind Opus Dei. What is Opus Dei? It's a shadowy global right-wing organization founded in Spain just before the Spanish Civil War. Supported by powerful Republican figures like Leonard Leo, Opus Dei is a Christian nationalist movement fueling efforts to dismantle democracy and pave the way for dictatorship in America. Gore, the author of the explosive book Opus: The Cult of Dark Money, Human Trafficking, and Right-Wing Conspiracy Inside the Catholic Church, delves into this insidious network. In this chilling conversation, recorded just before the U.S. election, Gore reveals how Opus Dei's influence stretches from Capitol Hill to the Supreme Court—and what is being done, including by the Pope, to try to curb its destructive power. This week's bonus show features a live interview with Dr. Emma Briant, one of the world's foremost experts on disinformation warfare and propaganda. Dr. Briant, co-editor of The Routledge Handbook on the Influence Industry and author of Propaganda and Counter-Terrorism: Strategies for Global Change, shares invaluable insights into the weapons of global propaganda.  Gaslit Nation returns with all-new episodes on January 7th!

Filmed over six years, "The Silence of Others" reveals how survivors and their families have struggled to cope in the aftermath of Spain's 40-year dictatorship under General Franco. The film, executive produced by Pedro Almodóvar, follows the victims as they organize a groundbreaking international lawsuit and fight a “pact of forgetting” around the crimes they suffered. Survivors of the dictatorship and human rights lawyers built a case in Argentina that Spanish courts refuse to hear. Maria Hinojosa speaks about the film with its directors, Almudena Carracedo and Robert Bahar.This episode originally aired in 2019.Follow us on TikTok and YouTube. Subscribe to our newsletter by going to the top of our homepage.

Se calcula que entre 8000 y 12000 portugueses participaron en la guerra civil española del lado de General Franco o sea, de parte de las tropas sublevadas. Cuando se promulga la voz "Rusia es Culpable" por parte de Serrano Suñer en la España de 1941, muchos españoles se enrolaron en la división de voluntarios españoles, la división 250 alemana o más conocida como la División Azul, y con estos españoles, unos cientos de portugueses que se presentaron también voluntarios para luchar contra los soviéticos, a estos voluntarios se les llamó La Legión Verde Si quieres disfrutar de esta serie al completo y ayudar al proyecto de Niebla de Guerra Podcast, dale al botón azul de APOYAR que verás en el episodio.

1-Encontré un video en Internet donde muestran pájaros pequeños dando de comer a pájaros más grandes que no son de su misma especie. La explicación que colocan en el video es que los pájaros viejos ya no vuelan y que los más jóvenes, no siendo de la misma especie, los alimentan. Quiero saber si es cierto lo que dicen en el video. 2-¿A qué se debe que cuando sudamos por el excesivo calor lo que más nos suda es la frente? 3-¿Qué es el regolito lunar, podría el suelo lunar ser fuente de oxígeno para la Tierra? 4-¿Por qué se dice, “un granito de arena” cuando hay que contribuir en algo? ¿Por qué usan la palabra arena para referirse a eso? 5-Leí en un libro que el presidente de los Estados Unidos le escribió una carta al General Franco pidiendo el apoyo de España en la guerra de Vietnam, y que el General Franco le escribió una respuesta muy interesante. Mi pregunta es si es cierto que el presidente de Estados Unidos le solicitó apoyo a Franco y, de ser así, cual fue la Respuesta del General Franco. Programa de radio "Oigamos la Respuesta" del Instituto Centroamericano de Extensión de la Cultura (ICECU). El programa se hace con las preguntas que envían nuestros oyente y las respuestas que se elaboran en el ICECU con un lenguaje claro y sencillo desde el año 1964.

Les antifascistes sont confrontés à une double injonction contradictoire durant la guerre civile espagnole : d'un côté, leur pacifisme hérité de la Première guerre mondiale leur répugne à prendre les armes, de l'autre leurs adversaires franquistes sont bien armés et bien aidés par l'Allemagne et l'Italie. Pierre Salmon explore les circuits de contrebande d'armes que les révolutionnaires et anarchistes tentent de mettre en place pour avoir les moyens de leur lutte. Hébergé par Ausha.

After winning the Spanish Civil War in 1939, Franco's dictatorship began. During the war, he acquired St Teresa of Avila's severed hand and kept it for spiritual guidance, it was returned when he died in 1975. The hand was initially stolen by General Franco's opposition from a convent in Ronda, but Franco's nationalist soldiers took it for themselves when they won the Battle of Malaga. Sister Jenifer is the Mother Superior of the Church of Our Lady of Mercy, Ronda, where the hand is kept on display for people to see. She tells Johnny I'Anson who St Teresa was, why her hand was cut off, and what made it special.(Photo: Monument of Saint Teresa of Avila, Spain. Credit: digicomphoto/Getty Images)

Our producer Wojciech has a theory that Central and Eastern Europe, in their broadest sense, share a common trait - they do not tolerate emptiness. Any deficit or shortage is promptly filled by individuals who have come to realize that they cannot always depend on their states to provide essential services. This is precisely the theme of our interview this week, with Ilir Gashi, who shares his story of getting involved in an unofficial courier system between Kosovo and Serbia when the state postal office ceased its deliveries. Against the backdrop of recent tensions between these countries flaring up once again, it provides a poignant glimpse into the daily life on the border of these nations. We're also talking about Greece's new left-ish leader Stefanos Kasselakis (and his good-looking dog) and Spain's dealings with its gruesome past under the infamous General Franco.  This is our first episode of the autumn season and we'll stay with you until the end of the year! There's lots to come with some very exciting special episodes coming up!

Han var statschefen som tog Spanien från diktatur till demokrati. Men korruptionsanklagelser, otrohetsaffärer och en skjuten elefant tvingade honom att abdikera. Hör Europapoddens sommarserie om personerna som format, och formar, Europa. Idag om Juan Carlos I. Juan Carlos av Bourbon föddes den 5 januari 1938 i Rom i Italien där den spanska kungafamiljen levde i exil. I Spanien härjade inbördeskriget men året därpå segrade general Francisco Franco. Diktatorn som styrde Spanien med järnhand återinförde monarkin och gav sig själv rätten att utse landets nästa härskare. General Franco träffade då Juan Carlos far och gjorde en uppgörelse över huvudet på den då tioårige pojken. Det bestämdes att Juan Carlos skulle återvända till Spanien och där växa upp i Francos närhet. Han blev därmed en spelbricka i uppgörelsen om styret av Spanien och några år senare, 1969, utnämnde general Franco den unga Juan Carlos till sin efterträdare. Förväntningarna var att kronprinsen skulle följa diktatorns fotspår men efter general Francos död 1975 frånsade sig kung Juan Carlos I den yttersta makten. Istället omdanade han Spanien till en konstitutionell monarki, tillät att minoriteter att tala sina språk och räckte ut handen till Spaniens socialister. Spaniens första demokratiska val hölls 1977 och året därpå antogs landets nya grundlag som befäste den spanska demokratin. Vilken betydelse har den tidigare kunden haft för den spanska demokratiseringsprocessen? Och hur har det påverkat den spanska monarkin?KuppförsöketEfter bara några år som kung av Spanien ställdes Juan Carlos I inför sitt livs kanske största prövning när Franco-trogna högernationalister försökte återta makten i ett kuppförsök 1981. Under ledning av överstelöjtnant Antonio Tejero Molina ockuperade 200 militärer det spanska parlamentet och höll parlamentarikerna gisslan under pistolhot. Kungen höll då ett uppmärksammat TV-sänt tal där han tog tydligt avstånd från ockupationen och stod upp för den spanska demokratin. Han lyckades få militärens stöd och överstelöjtnant Tejero gav upp kuppförsöket utan att någon kom till skada. Hur avgörande har den här insatsen varit för Juan Carlos I? Och hur stor risk tog han egentligen då, när han avvärjde kuppförsöket 1981?Elefantjakt och korruptionsskandalerTrots sin centrala roll i Spaniens demokratiseringsprocess är det andra sidor av kungen som dominerat de senaste åren. Det har handlat om otaliga kärleksaffärer, korruptionsskandaler och inte minst en bekostad elefantjakt i Botswana tillsammans med sin älskarinna samtidigt som ekonomisk kris och rekordhög arbetslöshet drabbade Spanien. Kontroverserna blev slutligen så många, och så stora, att Juan Carlos I den 2 juni 2014, efter nästan 40 år vid makten, tillkännagav att han abdikerar som kung till förmån för sin son Felipe. Hur mår den spanska monarkin idag? Vilken bild har spanjorerna av sin tidigare kung nu? Och hur mycket har skandalerna kommit att befläcka hans eftermäle?Medverkande: Jakob Lewander, Spanien expert och statsvetare vid SIEPS, Elisabeth Tarras-Wahlberg, tidigare hovmarskalk och informationschef vid hovet, idag kommunikationsrådgivare och Michael Cedercreutz, finsk affärsman som sålde en båt till Juan Carlos I.Programledare: Caroline SalzingerProducent: Felicia Hassan

What are the consequences when conspiracy theories, lies, and paranoia are combined with military might? Speaking with Danny Bird, Paul Preston discusses how General Franco and six other men staged an uprising in July 1936, inspired by hatred for the Spanish Republic's social and economic reforms, and a delusional belief that a sweeping conspiracy threatened to destroy Spain's Catholic identity. (Ad) Paul Preston is the author of Architects of Terror: Paranoia, Conspiracy and Anti-Semitism in Franco's Spain (HarperCollins, 2023).

Hoy platicamos de “LO QUE ESCONDÍAN SUS OJOS” de Nieves Herrero. Hablamos del contraste entre el libro y la serie con el mismo nombre. Se desarrolla en España, en la época después de la Guerra Civil, un amor prohibido entre Sonsoles de Icaza, la esposa del Marqués de Llanzol, y Ramon Serrano Suñer, cuñado del General Franco alias “El Cuñadísimo” . Esta relación dio como fruto a Carmen Diez de Rivera, que fue criada como hija del marqués de Llanzol durante toda su vida.

Diário da História: 8 de junho Neste dia, ao longo dos anos, ocorreram eventos importantes e marcantes. Desde o falecimento de uma figura religiosa influente até acontecimentos esportivos e políticos, vamos explorar alguns dos eventos notáveis que moldaram o dia 8 de junho ao longo da história. 632: A morte de Maomé, fundador do islamismo No ano de 632: A morte de Maomé, fundador do islamismo Neste dia, em 632, em Medina, atual Arábia Saudita, faleceu Maomé, o fundador do islamismo. Maomé, cujo nome significa "altamente louvado", nasceu como Abulqasim Mohamed ibn Abdala ibn Abd al-Mutalib ibn Hashim. Ele foi uma figura central na história do islamismo, sendo considerado o último profeta por seus seguidores. Seus ensinamentos e a revelação do Alcorão são a base da fé islâmica. 1914: Fundação da Confederação Brasileira de Desportos (CBF) No dia 8 de junho de 1914, foi fundada a Confederação Brasileira de Desportos, que posteriormente se transformou na atual Confederação Brasileira de Futebol (CBF). A CBF é a entidade responsável por organizar o futebol no Brasil e representa a seleção brasileira em competições internacionais. 1941: Invasão da Síria e do Líbano pelas forças aliadas Em 8 de junho de 1941, durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial, as forças aliadas britânicas e francesas invadiram a Síria e o Líbano. Essa operação militar teve como objetivo remover o controle francês da região, que estava sob o domínio de Vichy, o governo colaboracionista com os nazistas na França. 1947: Eva Perón recebida com honras em Madri pelo General Franco No dia 8 de junho de 1947, Eva Perón, esposa do presidente argentino Juan Perón, foi recebida com honras em Madri pelo General Franco, ditador espanhol. Essa saudação do ditador para um dignitário internacional foi considerada rara na época e refletiu a influência e o carisma de Eva Perón, conhecida como Evita, tanto na Argentina quanto no exterior. 1948: Fundação da Sociedade Brasileira para o Progresso da Ciência (SBPC) Em 8 de junho de 1948, foi fundada a Sociedade Brasileira para o Progresso da Ciência (SBPC). A SBPC é uma entidade científica que busca promover o avanço da ciência e da tecnologia no Brasil, além de atuar na defesa da pesquisa científica e na divulgação científica para a sociedade. 1969: Captura de James Earl Ray, suposto assassino de Martin Luther King Jr. No dia 8 de junho de 1969, as autoridades anunciaram a captura de James Earl Ray, em Londres, o suposto assassino do líder pelos direitos civis Martin Luther King Jr. O assassinato de Martin Luther King Jr. em abril de 1968 chocou os Estados Unidos e teve um impacto significativo no movimento pelos direitos civis; 1970: Golpe de Estado na Argentina depõe o presidente Juan Carlos Ongania Em 8 de junho de 1970, um golpe de Estado abalou a Argentina ao depor o presidente Juan Carlos Ongania. Ongania assumiu o poder em 1966, após um golpe militar anterior, e seu governo foi marcado por políticas autoritárias e repressivas. O descontentamento popular e a insatisfação com o regime culminaram no golpe, que resultou na queda de Ongania e na instabilidade política no país. 1978: Suspensão da censura prévia à imprensa no Brasil No dia 8 de junho de 1978, o presidente brasileiro Ernesto Geisel anunciou a suspensão da censura prévia à imprensa. Durante o período da ditadura militar no Brasil, que durou de 1964 a 1985, a censura era uma prática comum e a imprensa sofria restrições severas. A suspensão da censura prévia representou um avanço na abertura política e na liberdade de expressão no país. 1986: Kurt Waldheim é eleito presidente da Áustria Em 8 de junho de 1986, Kurt Waldheim foi eleito presidente da Áustria, apesar das alegações sobre seu envolvimento em atrocidades nazistas durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial. Waldheim serviu como secretário-geral da ONU de 1972 a 1981, mas sua eleição presidencial despertou controvérsias devido às revelações sobre seu passado. As acusações de seu envolvimento em crimes de guerra levantaram questões éticas e históricas na Áustria e no cenário internacional. 1996: China realiza uma explosão teste nuclear no nordeste de Xinjiang No dia 8 de junho de 1996, a China realizou uma explosão teste nuclear no nordeste de Xin jiang. Esse evento foi parte do programa nuclear chinês e gerou preocupações e críticas da comunidade internacional. A realização de testes nucleares tem implicações políticas, ambientais e de segurança global, e a China foi pressionada a aderir aos tratados internacionais que buscam limitar a proliferação nuclear. 1997: Guga conquista o título em Roland Garros Em 8 de junho de 1997, o tenista brasileiro Gustavo Kuerten, conhecido como Guga, conquistou o título de 1º lugar em Roland Garros, o prestigioso campeonato de tênis realizado na França. Essa vitória marcou um momento histórico para o esporte brasileiro, pois Guga se tornou o primeiro tenista brasileiro a vencer um Grand Slam. Sua conquista em Roland Garros elevou o tênis brasileiro a um novo patamar e inspirou gerações de jovens atletas. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/malhete-podcast/message

The hosts unravel the lives and legacies of two Spanish dictators; King Philip II and General Francisco Franco. They discuss Philip's enormous Spanish empire, his marital misfortune, the Spanish Inquisition against religious heretics and the Spanish Armada sent to depose the Queen of England. They also discuss General Franco's ruthless campaign in North Africa, his friendship with Mussolini and Hitler, the brutality of the Spanish Civil War, his conservative Catholic rule and the recent discoveries of mass graves and concentration camps in Spain. These two dictators battle it out in Round 22 of the knock-out tournament to determine the single greatest dictator of all time. One of these two dictators will be eliminated from the tournament and the other will remain in contention to be crowned history's biggest dictator.

From 1939 to 1975, Generalissimo Francisco Franco ruled Spain as a nationalist dictator. For many, he was Spain incarnate, a tenacious leader and warrior in the same vein as El Cid. Under his guidance, the regime was able to navigate 36 years of political turmoil and conflict, vanquishing Communism, surviving the Second World War and bringing about economic prosperity. For others, this idealised portrait stands in stark contrast to the reality of his rule, which was instead defined by incompetence, violence and self-interest. So who exactly was Francisco Franco, and why is he such a divisive figure? Sir Paul Preston, the acclaimed historian and biographer of General Franco, joins Dan to untangle the complex and conflicted legacy of Spain's most famous 20th-century leader.Produced by James Hickmann and edited by Dougal Patmore.If you'd like to learn more, we have hundreds of history documentaries, ad-free podcasts and audiobooks at History Hit - subscribe to History Hit today!Download the History Hit app from the Google Play store.Download the History Hit app from the Apple Store.

Today I talked to Xabier Irujo about his book (co-authored with Queralt Solé) Nazi Juggernaut in the Basque Country and Catalonia (Center for Basque Studies, 2019) Hitler and Mussolini's decision to help General Franco with war materiel and troops brought war to the Basque Country and Catalonia. Between 1936 and 1939, the German Condor Legion and the Italian Aviazione Legionaria carried out a brutal campaign of terror bombings that resulted in thousands of air strikes against open cities. This caused innumerable casualties among the civilian population. Franco's victory in 1939 caused the exile of hundreds of thousands of Basque and Catalan civilians, but the beginning of World War Two and the subsequent occupation of the Northern Basque Country and Northern Catalonia by German troops gave rise to new forms of repression: concentration camps, forced labor, executions and imprisonment. As a consequence, the period from 1936 to 1945 is one of the bloodiest episodes in the contemporary history of Catalonia and the Basque Country. Learn more about your ad choices.

Today I talked to Xabier Irujo about his book (co-authored with Queralt Solé) Nazi Juggernaut in the Basque Country and Catalonia (Center for Basque Studies, 2019) Hitler and Mussolini's decision to help General Franco with war materiel and troops brought war to the Basque Country and Catalonia. Between 1936 and 1939, the German Condor Legion and the Italian Aviazione Legionaria carried out a brutal campaign of terror bombings that resulted in thousands of air strikes against open cities. This caused innumerable casualties among the civilian population.

Dr. Michele Lamprakos reconstructs the imperial flows of Islamic and Byzantine architecture from 8th century Spain, through the Mosque-Cathedral of Córdoba, or the Mezquita. A strange, hybrid building dominates the southern Spanish city of Córdoba. Part mosque, part cathedral, the Mezquita was first constructed by the early Islamic Umayyad dynasty - then seized, 'purified,' and consecrated as a Christian church in the 13th century. This infamous Christianised mosque, complete with crucero, epitomised the imperial 'Christian universe' of the Holy Roman Empire, and the Habsburg dynasty's victory over Islam. Still, much of the Islamic fabric was politically preserved – and even reconstructed - in testament to Spain's long history of religious rivalry and reconciliation. Tracing these unending cycles of Christianisation and re-Islamification reveals Spain's imperial ambitions in northern Africa, and how the Mezquita remained a political tool through the 20th century General Franco dictatorship to today. PRESENTER: Dr. Michele Lamprakos, Associate Professor of Architectural and Urban History at the School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation, University of Maryland-College Park. ART: The Mosque-Cathedral of Córdoba (8th Century). IMAGE: ‘Mezquita, Cornelia Steffens'. SOUNDS: Gnawledge. PRODUCER: Jelena Sofronijevic.

País España Dirección Almudena Carracedo, Robert Bahar Guion Almudena Carracedo, Robert Bahar Música Leonardo Heiblum, Jacobo Lieberman Fotografía Almudena Carracedo Sinopsis 'El silencio de otros' revela la lucha silenciada de las víctimas del largo régimen del General Franco, que continúan buscando justicia hasta nuestros días. Filmado a lo largo de seis años, la película sigue a las víctimas y los supervivientes del régimen franquista a medida que organizan la denominada “querella argentina” y confrontan un “pacto del olvido” sobre los crímenes que padecieron.

Si hablamos de coches de 6 ruedas, todos pensamos en el mismo, en el espectacular Tyrrell P-34 de 6 ruedas. Pero es que no es un caso único, los coches de 6 ruedas son raros, muy raros, pero ha habido unos cuantos. 1. Mercedes G4 W31 (1939). Comenzamos con el coche de Hitler… o con el coche de Franco, porque el Patrimonio Nacional español guarda este coche que fue un regalo de Hitler al General Franco en 1939 y que Franco usó poco o nada… Sin duda, no se cayeron bien en la cita de Hendaya. 2. Ford Seattle-ite XXI (1962). Este coche existió, pero como prototipo. Pero no podía dejarlo fuera porque me parece una obra maestra de su diseñador, Alex Tremulis. Este coche aportaba infinidad de soluciones revolucionarias como células de combustible nuclear intercambiables; sistemas interactivos de navegación y cuatro ruedas motrices y directrices. 3. FAB1 (1965). Se dice que las cosas que ves de niño no se te olvidan, pero, ¿cómo se me iba a olvidar de un Rolls Royce rosa con seis ruedas? Sí, he hecho una trampa porque es un coche de ficción, ¡pero tampoco podía dejarlo fuera! ¡Me encanta! Para la marca que los niños asociasen a Rolls Royce con una imagen moderna fue uno de los alicientes. 4. Panther Six (1976). Este coche pretendía llevar a los coches deportivos de calle las ventajas que aportaba el Tyrrell P-34 de 6 ruedas en la competición. Se construyeron sólo dos, uno blanco y uno negro, ambos aún se conservan. Desde luego hay que reconocer que llamativo lo es y mucho y al parecer el coche no iba nada mal. 5. Sbarro Windhawk (1978). El P-34 puso de moda las seis ruedas, ya fuera delante o detrás. Y Sbarro siempre ha estado dispuesto a hacer cosas raras, como este modelo único, un capricho del rey Khaled de Arabia que le pidió construir este coche al carrocero suizo. 6. Sbarro TAG Function Car (1978). La envidia es muy mala. Y al señor Joseph Adjadj, le dio envidia el coche de Kaleb y dijo ¡yo quiero otro! Y es que Adjadj era un riquísimo empresario saudí propietario de la marca TAG, Techniques d’Avant Garde, que a partir de 1984 suministró los motores Porsche a McLaren F1. 7. Renault 5 6x6 (1979). Ya lo decía al comenzar, el Tyrrell P-34 fue inspirador para poner 6 ruedas a un coche, fuese donde fuese. Esta curiosa versión 6x6 del R5 fue obra de Christian de Leotard. ¿Y cómo la hizo? Muy fácil, tomó dos unidades del pequeño Renault, las cortó por la mitad y las volvió a unir en una sola pieza. 8. Hustler Highlander (1985). Este coche tiene su gracia, pues la empresa Hustler vendía coches en forma de kit con el llamativo eslogan, "claim" como se dice ahora, de “no es un coche, es una forma de vida”. Fue diseñado por William Towns, conocido por sus trabajos para Aston Martin y justo es reconocer que el coche tenía su encanto. Sobre la base mecánica del Mini se vendían en formato de kit para montar, el Hustler 4 de 4 ruedas o Hustler 6 de seis ruedas. A partir de 1985 se ofrecía en el Highlander, el más grande de todos, con 6 ruedas y mecánica del Jaguar XJ. 9. Covini C6W (2004). Aunque no lo creas la idea de fabricar este deportivo italiano biplaza, con una sección de techo desmontable y seis ruedas se comenzó a fraguar a finales de los 70 inspirados, como no, en el Tyrrell P-34. En 2003 se revivió el proyecto y en 2004 se mostró el C6W en forma de prototipo. En 2005 se inicia la producción a un ritmo enloquecido de… 6-8 coches por año. El Covini cuenta con un motor trasero de 8 cilindros, 4.200 cm3 y 440 CV. Su velocidad máxima es de “solo” 299 km/h… hombre le podían haber sacado un “kilometrito” más. Pero si quieres llamar la atención, es tu coche. 10. Ford F-150 Hennessey VelociRaptor (2017). En los últimos años se han vuelto a poner de moda los coches de 6 ruedas, pero en formato TT “Bestia” como el Apocalypse Hellfire, el Brabus B63S-700, el Defender Flying Huntsman de Kahn Design, Hennessey Goliath, el Jeep Gladiator de Next Level y el Rezvani Hercules. Confieso que es un tipo de coche que no me mola mucho… me parecen un poco de mafioso ruso… pero ahí están. Me gusta más la alternativa americana que se vende con dos o cuatro puertas. Respecto al 6x6 la producción ha sido limitada y cuenta con un motor V6 biturbo de 3.5 litros que se puede potenciar por encima de los 600 CV. Conclusión. En este caso sí que es fácil: Sed sinceros y no mintáis, ¿conocíais todos estos coches?

In this podcast we interview Maggie Brookes about her latest novel - Acts of Love and War: A nation torn apart by war. One woman caught in the crossfire. 1936. Civil war in Spain. A world on the brink of chaos . . . Although this is a climate change site we like to promote the work of local authors and a world in conflict today and threatened by climate change this novel is highly relevant. 21-year-old Lucy feels content with her life in Hertfordshire - not least because she lives next door to Tom and Jamie, two very different brothers for whom she has equally great affection. But her comfortable life is turned upside down when Tom decides he must travel to Spain to fight in the bloody Spanish Civil War. He is quickly followed by Jamie who, much to Lucy's despair, is supporting General Franco. To the dismay of her irascible father, Lucy decides that the only way to bring her boys back safely is to travel to Spain herself to persuade them to come home. It is a novel that looks at one of the seminal moments of the 20th century and how love expresses itself in extreme circumstances Maggie is an ex-journalist, BBC TV producer as an historical documentary writer / producer / director and she has also been a creative writing lecturer, and is now full-time novelist and poet. Maggie was born in London and has been writing stories and poems since she was six. Her novel ‘The Prisoner's Wife' was published in March 2020, in the first Covid lockdown. She has published six poetry collections in the UK under her married name of Maggie Butt.

When George Orwell travelled to Spain in the winter of 1936 to fight General Franco and the fascists, he stopped en route in Paris, where Henry Miller gave him his coat. The two men could not have been more different: the passionately political Englishman, and the American who disdained of all forms of activism. As Ian McEwan writes: “In a letter to Lawrence Durrell he wrote that he knew he could head off the rise of Nazism... if he could just get five minutes alone with Adolf Hitler and make him laugh.” The encounter inspired Orwell's 1939 essay “Inside the Whale”, in which he defended Miller's freedom to refuse political engagement. Should a novelist insulate themselves from bigger, harder realities (ie, write from “inside the whale”) or confront a bleak political landscape face-on (write “outside the whale”)? Orwell, McEwan argues, managed the unusual trick of doing both – a tension that informs books such as Nineteen Eighty-Four and Animal Farm. Adapted from his compelling 2021 Orwell Memorial Lecture, McEwan's essay looks at the choices he and other novelists have made about writing – and about living – in a time of crisis. How removed from politics can a 21st-century writer be now that “even inside the whale there is ultra-fast broadband”? Endnote: This article was first published in the New Statesman on 9 December.

Federico Garcia Lorca was one of Spain's most promising and famous poets and playwrights of the 1920s. The fall of the Restoration era in 1931 saw the monarchy abolished, the dictatorship of Miguel Primo de Rivera fall and the installation of a left-leaning democratic government. Under this, Lorca thrived creatively except trouble was brewing in Spain...This new democracy wasn't to last and in 1936 increasing tensions saw another coup - this time against the government. It failed but still led to the Spanish Civil War which ultimately saw General Franco assume command of Spain and rule as a fascist dictator.It also saw Lorca summarily executed. The true nature of his death, and even the whereabouts of his body, remain one of Spain's enduring mysteries... See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Stuart Medina is a founder and current president of Red MMT Spain. He joins Steve this week to talk about conditions in Spain after two years of the pandemic, more than two decades as a member of the eurozone, and nearly half a century since the death of General Franco, dictator from 1939 to 1975, when Spain became a parliamentary monarchy. In the 1960s and 70s Spain had a fairly successful state-led industrialization policy. Franco's death coincides with the ideological victory of neoliberalism. The elites turned to deregulation (“let the market decide”) and shut down all the public banks. When asked to summarize the situation in Spain today, Medina brings up the astounding unemployment figure of 15%, which doesn't begin to reflect the reality. In 2011 it was as high as 27%, a rate which the US hasn't seen since the Great Depression. But we are suffering those unemployment rates currently, as we speak. And when you look at the details, when you look at the youth unemployment rate there, we're talking of close to 40% unemployment. It's a tragedy because it's just such a waste of potential, of human dignity, I think, is the right word. It's just lives that are cut short. In some cases, people not being able to develop a career, a project, a life, getting married, having children, buying homes. It's a tragedy that is basically what is going on. Greece's treatment at the hands of the notorious “Troika” is well known, as are the results of the harmful fiscal choices they were forced to make. Stuart tells us how Spain, too, was virtually blackmailed in 2011, pressured by the European Central Bank, Germany, and the Obama administration to amend the Spanish constitution and adopt impossible austerity measures. Stuart provides a thoughtful critique of the EU and discusses the kind of flexibility required to put a population back to work. He and Steve talk about Mosler's assertion that imports are a net benefit and exports are a net loss, and how an export-led growth model has affected other economies. It can be difficult for a foreign audience to understand why countries like Spain and Italy joined the EU. Stuart suggests the European Union can be considered a surrogate imperial project to replace the old one. There's also the fact that the elites of Italy and Spain somehow needed or wanted some tool to control the restless trade unions, the industrial unrest of the 1970s and early 1980s. And let's face it, these elites are not doing badly. Those in the section of the ruling class with an export-led growth model are doing extremely well. They are, of course, interested in keeping their access to the European markets, among other benefits. They're interested in repressing wage growth. They're interested in fiscal rectitude because it helps to discipline the workforce and either consciously or unconsciously, they know it's in their best interest to enter into the arrangements of the European Union. The European Union is a neoliberal project. It is the project of the European elites, and they control the media. And they have convinced most of the population, I would say, (to be) in agreement that the European Union has been good for Spain. **Don't forget to check out the transcript and “extras” page accompanying every episode of Macro N Cheese.

For many football fans, support for their team is linked to a local identity; the club, for them, represents a town or region with which they strongly identify. In 2016, Adriano Gómez-Bantel published an article focusing on clubs for whom regional identity has become a central aspect of the club's management, both on and off the pitch. Many fans may already be familiar with the emphasis on regional identity among supporters of FC Barcelona, which became a prominent symbol of Catalonian cultural identity during General Franco's dictatorship, or Athletic Bilbao, whose team consists almost entirely of players born in the Basque region. While Adriano has explored these examples, his focus is on VfB Stuttgart, who have come to be recognised as the representative club of the Württemberg region in Germany within the German Bundesliga. How does a club successfully embody a region in an era of globalised sport? How key are local players in engendering this connection? And what happens when a corporate entity like Red Bull muscle into a league, positioning a club as a branding exercise first and a city team second? ...all this and more in the third episode of the new Football and Society podcast. *** If you like the podcast, please subscribe and give us a review via your platform of choice.

Prefiero morir, que perder la vida. ¿Hacía donde va la justicia Española? ¿Es delito que los militares hayan realizado un comunicado en contra de la figura del General Franco como soldado? No hay libertad de expresión. Sólo la tienen los de la izquierda consentida.

The Spanish town of Benidorm is now one of the world's most popular holiday resorts - receiving more than 10 million visitors a year. The hotels and skyscrapers are the vision of Benidorm's mayor in the 1950s and 60s, Pedro Zaragoza. Zaragoza personally convinced Spain's dictator, General Franco, to allow more tourism - and to allow sunbathers to wear the bikini. Simon Watts introduces the memories of Pedro Zaragoza, as recorded by Radio Elche Cadena Ser shortly before his death.PHOTO: A busy day at Benidorm (Reuters)
