An estimated 50,000 people, many flashing the fascist salute and chanting “Viva Franco,” marched down Madrid’s main boulevard to mark the 10th anniversary of the death of Gen. Francisco Franco. The dictator’s daughter, Carmen, led the marchers, who waved Spanish flags. The crowd gathered at a statue of Franco on horseback outside the Transport Ministry. Police said 12 people were arrested. Franco, who died in 1975, ruled Spain for 36 years.
