my grandfather was imprisoned by Franco’s regime because he was on the Republican side and was accused of being Communist though there was never any evidence he was a member of the Communist party. He was just a democrat, who saw Franco for the dictator that he was.
So ya… when people start to make excuses for Mark Carney allowing Canadian participation in a conference whose sole purpose is to drum up fake fear over “leftist extremism”, I take it a little personally.
Fuck Carney’s appeasement.
Attached is a photo of the bombing of Valencia’s northern train station by Italian forces in 1937, near the current stadium of Valencia CF. My grandfather lived in a village on the outskirts of Valencia and participated in resistance within the city. He and his family, including my dad, lived in Valencia throughout WWII. My grandmother eventually took the kids to France in the 50s, and my grandfather joined them after being released (?) from prison. They came to Canada in ‘52 and didn’t return to visit family and friends left behind until after Franco’s death.
This is where appeasement of fascism leads.
