The astonishment of the two historians used by the PP and Vox to protect a Francoist cross: "How am I supposed to say something like that?"

Historians Miguel Ángel del Arco and César Rina express outrage over the misuse of their research by the Extremadura government to support the preservation of a Francoist cross. They argue their work has been distorted to suggest the monument is not linked to Francoism, contradicting their actual findings. The cross, inaugurated in 1938, has been a focal point for far-right celebrations and is now being protected by the PP and Vox parties. Both historians emphasize the ethical implications of this misrepresentation, warning it sets a dangerous precedent for historical integrity.
