By Carmina Gustrán Loscos, Commissioner for the Commemoration of “Spain in Freedom: 50 years”. 20 November 2025 marks the fiftieth anniversary of Francisco Franco’s death. At the Commission of “Spain in Freedom: 50 years”, we focus on the possibilities that his passing created, on the long and difficult journey towards regaining freedom and democracy. In 2025, we remember the beginning of that collective achievement; we celebrate the prosperous, diverse and democratic nation that we have become. Also, we would like to invite all citizens to join us in reflecting on the future, on what kind of country and what kind of democracy we aspire to build together.
