Activists mark anniversary of Franco's death

Hundreds of right-wing demonstrators made stiff-armed fascist salutes and shouted insults against gays, Muslims and immigrants at a rally today marking the 30th anniversary of the death of dictator General Francisco Franco.

Waving red and yellow Spanish flags with the insignia of the Franco regime’s Falange party, the crowd gathered at the Plaza de Oriente, right beside the royal palace in Madrid’s old quarter.
