Government to move Franco’s remains on June 10

The Span­ish gov­ern­ment will move the re­mains of for­mer dic­ta­tor, Fran­cisco Franco, from his mau­soleum in the Val­ley of the Fallen to a state-owned tomb in the mu­nic­i­pal ceme­tery of Min­gor­ru­bio, known as the Pardo, on Mon­day June 10. The de­ci­sion an­nounced on Fri­day con­cludes the pro­ce­dure to trans­fer the re­mains, al­though Franco’s fam­ily has chal­lenged the ex­huma­tion in the Supreme Court, and has de­manded that the Span­ish gov­ern­ment’s de­ci­sion be sus­pended.
