From its origins, to its myths, to its architecture, El Valle is steeped in infamy. Unlike other postwar democratic transitions, there was no \u201ctransitional justice\u201d in Spain as part of the dismantling of the Franco regime. Now, however, El Valle will receive a radical makeover. In June, S\u00e1nchez announced his intention to move Franco\u2019s remains from El Valle and transform the site from a shrine to Francoism to a \u201cmemorial for the victims of fascism.\u201d"}
