Franco-era man unseated as regional president
Manuel Fraga, the last political survivor of General Francisco Franco’s regime, has lost power in Spain’s Galicia region after an election decided by overseas voters.
The famously outspoken Fraga, 82, had ruled since 1990 and was seeking a fifth straight term as regional president. But Socialists and nationalists won a majority in the Galician legislature and are expected to form a coalition.
