The statue of Francisco Franco in the Spanish North African exclave of Melilla was the last remaining public one honouring Francisco Franco, the Nationalist leader during the Spanish Civil War and the dictator of Spain from 1939 until his death in 1975. Since the passing of the Law of Historical Memory, public symbols of him or exalting his regime, have been declared illegal.[1] The statue survived until 2021 in public, on the technicality that it depicted Franco before the civil war and his dictatorship.[2]
