The Left's Lies

Franco was a regenerationist who sought to economically develop his country while restoring and maintaining a conservative cultural framework. Franco maintained political order, and dropped his demand for autorkey not so much because he had changed his mind but because he was convinced of the need to do so by his technocratic advisors. The idea that Franco ruled with an iron hand is silly, he actually didn't spend much time ruling at all,. Most governing was done by his cabinet, which he carefully balanced among competing political Interests.
