Body of Civil War era military leader moved to a new burial place under historical memory law

Under Spain's new Democratic Memory Law, leaders of the 1936 coup are no longer permitted to remain in prominent places which are open to the public,"to avoid acts of exaltation, glorification or commemoration of human rights violations committed during the war or the dictatorship".

Despite the late hour, a small group of supporters waited outside the building and shouted "Long live Queipo" as the undertakers' vehicle drove past.
