“We are the only country in the world where history has been written by the losers […] The great mistake of the Transition was to legalize the parties that had provoked the Civil War, including the Spanish Socialist Party [...] There is nothing more dangerous than a red in power about to lose. Just in case, I am not going to take a train in the days leading up to the elections...” These are extracts from a video by the YouTuberInfoVlogger, who has 414,000 subscribers.

American audiences got their information in movie theaters about what was happening at home and around the world through a couple of newsreels a week, each with five to nine stories.

“Blasphemy is prohibited.” The sign above the Arco de la Villa, one of the entrances to the Old Town of Belchite, reveals that we are at the doors of other times and other conflicts.
