Eight hundred forty-seven people will pay less to the Treasury because they gave money to the Francisco Franco Foundation, created to promote the work of the dictator and claiming that he was "the solution to all problems afflicting Spain." The president of the organization, retired Juan Chicharro, generally considered "logical" that whoever gives them money receive tax benefits, as with those who make donations to oenegés providing all kinds of support to society. "We are a legal foundation and we have advantages like the others. The law does not explicitly that foundations have to have this or that ideology," Chicharro says.
Francisco Franco Foundation, which sees "immense" the work of the dictator and thinks he deserves "a place or street in every town" in Spain, announces that a person who gives them 150 euros will pay only 37,50 "real cost" because "Treasury will finance them" the remaining 112.50 euros (75% of the delivered money). From that figure, discounts up to 30% lower.
Bring to Francisco Franco from the list of foundations (and eliminate their tax benefits) it is one of the objectives of the motion that the PSOE has introduced in the Senate. General Chicharro, who was adjutant of King Juan Carlos I, argues that "history can not be banned" and notes that the budget of the foundation reaches some 150,000 euros annually. "There are men and women. A few military and civilian Some give 10 euros, others give us a thousand , " he says.
Battle through the streets
The last battle of the Franco Foundation waged against the renaming of 52 streets in Madrid, approved by the city of Manuela Carmena in compliance with the law of historical memory. Francisco Franco has managed to paralyze a judge, but requires them 60,000 euros to follow the proceedings. The foundation has asked for help from supporters, who will receive tax benefits 2019.
In another sense, the president of the Francisco Franco says they have not received a single euro of public money since 2004, when the government of Aznar gave 150,843.32 30,000 euros to digitize documents on Franco.
General Chicharro, a veteran of the wars of the Sahara, Bosnia and Kosovo, jumped into the media arena in 2013 when, at a conference, he said the possibility of changing the law and punish the rebellion even if not violent ( "if a regional parliament proclaimed secession unilaterally commit no crime , "he said). He expressed certainty that "the country predates the Constitution" and suggested the intervention of the army in Catalunya in case of "power vacuum" in Spain. Defense opened a file that ended without penalty.
Born in 1976 with 226 partners
This foundation was born in 1976 with 226 members and sponsored by the family of the dictator (his daughter was honorary president until his death on December 29). He included in its statutes "exalt" the life of Franco as a "model of virtues in the service of the fatherland" and "contribute to the projection of his ideas on the future of Spanish life."
150,000 euros per year budget, the association now struggling to avoid changing names of 52 streets in Madrid
Now the heart of the legal debate is two ideas: general interest and Francisco Franco. The law requires that foundations do not have profit and in the general interest. Francisco Franco argues: "We pursue aims of general interest is to defend the story as it happened, the defense of human rights before its constitution, as Franco credited to the defense of the Jews and recognized the UN ..."
General Chicharro admits they are "against" the law of historical memory and rejects the comparison made its Citizens Foundation Omnium Cultural and ANC. "Our foundation has an eminently historical component and does not participate in mass mobilizations. It makes me very difficult for us to be outlawed. The Constitution protects freedom of ideology". Does not support the example of Germany, where an organization dedicated to a dictator would be illegal: "There communist party members must have a visa or approved Secret Service to work in some positions in the administration." Foundation rejects equating Hitler to Franco: "It's like comparing Atila with Felipe II".
President of the association avoids equating Franco with Hitler "
There are many precedents of ilegalizadas or rejected in Spain, where more than 13,000 entities such foundations, according to the Spanish Association of Foundations. A case occurred after the attempted Fernando Garcia, the father of one of the murdered young Alcàsser in 1992. The mother of another victim requested that the name not be used, so that the Ministry of Justice refused to register the Girls Foundation Alcàsser, which would be dedicated to look for clues in cases of missing girls.
