  • Hemeroteca.The Supreme Court unanimously guarantees that Franco's remains leave the Valley of the Fallen

The Supreme Court has issued a ruling on Wednesday that rejects the clarification of the sentence requested by the grandchildren of the dictator Francisco Franco and refers to the terms of the resolution where he gave free access to the exhumation of the remains of the Basilica of the Valley of the Fallen .

The dictator's family went to the High Court last week to specify if the Executive can proceed to exhumation despite the express consent of the prior of the Benedictine community to carry it out. Specifically, the Franks wanted to know if in the event that the Church now opposes removing the remains of Wall Hangings , if that decision can be substituted by a judicial authorization.

The answer of the Supreme is that although the Government needs ecclesiastical authorization to carry out the exhumation the refusal of the prior to enable it declines with the sentence of the court.
