Taken under fascism, Spain’s ‘stolen babies’ are learning the truth

What an absolute pile of BS you just barfed there. Franco saved Spain...for example, by asking the German Condor to bomb Guernica and using state-sponsored media to accuse the communists instead?

Tell me more about saving a country...

Both the winners and the losers can be the bad guys.

This has been a big topic in Spain in the last 10 years. It's great to see that most of the cases are being opened to the public now. Note: I'm from Spain

While it's true that this happened under the fascist rule of Franco, I'm not sure that the fascists had nothing to do with it, so I think the article title is a bit misleading.

In my view, this issue was mainly caused by two things:

1. Imbalance of power, where powerful entities were able to "buy" influence over the hospital personel (usually with some relation with the Church) to get the babies of poor people that will not be able to fight back (because of lack of knowledge or resources)

2. Lack of a formal registry log of births and hospital happenings

If any of these two things are addressed, I'm pretty sure we will hardly get into a similar situation again.

At some point someone has to expect something Inquisition-like in Spain, right?
