The ruling of the Supreme against the Franco family could have been signed, in my modest opinion, by a Peking court over Mao's remains, provided that Xi Jinping and the Chinese Communist Party, the world's largest jailer, ordered it. But Xi has proclaimed himself a life dictator to overcome Deng and Mao, and has restored Leninism as an essential doctrine of the party, the people and the State, so he does not want to remove the gigantic portrait of the genocidal from Tiananmen Square. Justice, as Lenin clarified in 1918, is here to serve the people, which is the party, which was him, and then Stalin, and, except Yeltsin, all to Putin. The advantage of a totalitarian regime is that the Law must not be turned around, it is about obeying political power, shutting up and ascending .

The problem of the rapporteur Lucas and those who unanimously or in a group subscribe, as if Madrid were Beijing, is that they have exceeded or betrayed using threatening language against the Franco, the prior, Judge Yusti and anyone who discusses the Law of Historical Memory, which is the denial of the Transition and the Amnesty Law, or the arbitrariness of Parliament or the sectarianism of the Government. Following the sentence is not enough, they want us to cheer.

They say that the Franco family "does not have an unconditional power to choose the place of burial of their relatives." And they recreate: "It is not part of either the right to religious freedom or the right to personal and family privacy to always have the last word about the place of burial of relatives." That will be in Beijing since 1949 and in Spain now. But it is an outrage. The Franco, because they are, is deprived of a human and constitutional right that appropriates power: the placet of burial. They say that Franco's rights expired. Since when? Didn't the family offer to transfer him to his crypt of the Almudena , and did Ballo leave him to deny it? According to this tendentious-administrative doctrine, that family does not have the right granted to the Government: to bury their dead where, when and how they want: with nocturnality and secrecy. Nice way to overcome the dictatorship: some are encouraged to rescue their dead, others are prevented from burying them.

Franco was placed under the canopy in the Church by bishops. Today they would be lawyers of recognized Pekingese prestige.
