The Franco Foundation calls for a coup d'état
The organisation believes that the Spanish Constitution of 1978 protects
the uprising of the army in a case of a threat to the unity of Spain.
The National Foundation Francisco Franco (FNFF) is disseminating an article
entitled "The Army cannot continue silent before the current drift in
Spain in the hands of gangsters and traitors" in which a coup d'état is
called for in order to ensure "the territorial unity and territorial
integrity" of Spain. The text, signed by the extreme right-wing
journalist Enrique de Diego, refers to an opinion article in the Alerta
Digital newspaper.
The text appeals directly to the Spanish military: "The Armed Forces are
compelled to defend the unity of Spain and seize power. For the
fainthearted, it is simply a constitutional duty; beyond that, it is an
imperative for honour: The Armed Forces are first and foremost committed
to Spain".
The article does not waste time making distinctions: "The separatists
are totalitarian and imperialist, more and more areas of Spain are being
claimed. Navarre, by ETA. Valencia and the Balearic Islands, by CiU and
Esquerra". It also refers to the Spanish Constitution of 1978 stating
that "the Constitution places the unity of Spain and its territorial
integrity under the protection of the Armed Forces. The Nation prevails
over the Constitution".
The FNFF display its web site with a
quote by José Antonio Primo de Rivera in a large format font: ""We love
Catalonia for it is Spanish and as we love Catalonia we want it more and
more Spanish".
The Franco Foundation is considered by the law as an entity that carries
out a charitable, educational and cultural undertaking –thus the
donations received are liable to a discount of between 25% and 35%
income tax.
