SPANISH
En un lugar de La Mancha existe un pueblo cuyo nombre rinde homenaje a su creador. Llanos del Caudillo es uno de los 300 asentamientos construidos por Franco en los que el nuevo hombre fascista habría de nacer: "el hombre antiurbano y antiobrero, apegado a la tierra, temeroso de Dios y devoto al régimen, del cual es deudor de todo: casa, tierra y trabajo, bajo el control del partido."

"Los Colonos del Caudillo" es una revisión del legado de la figura de Francisco Franco, una mirada hacia el pasado que nos ayuda a encontrar las claves del presente y entender un país en el que la figura del dictador aún persiste.

ENGLISH
Somewhere on the high plains of La Mancha in Spain resides a village that carries the name of its creator, Francisco Franco. The translation for the village's name Llanos del Caudillo is The High Plains of the Caudillo. Caudillo is the equivalent to the German Fuehrer (Hitler) or the Italian Duce (Mussolini). Llanos del Caudillo was one of over 300 settlement villages built during the dictatorship of General Franco between 1939 and 1975. The ideological goal of these communities was to create the new fascist man.

"Franco's Settlers" is a review of the legacy and prevalence, apparent or hidden, of Francisco Franco's figure, a glance at the past in order to find the key to the present and to understand a world where the figure of the dictator persists, even nowadays.

  • "región"

    ¿Qué "región"? ¿La histórica y constitucional "Castilla la Nueva"; el bodrio creado por la UCD y el PSOE llamado "Castilla-la Mancha" o la reivindica pero nunca conseguida regionaliodad para la gran comarca de "La Mancha"?
