Reflections on Spain's persecution of poet Federico García Lorca

Original: @ Remittancegirl when i was young and not very informed I was fascinated and horrified why a beautiful country like Spai

A commenter reflects on learning, when younger, why a beautiful country like Spain would persecute and murder Federico García Lorca, the poet killed during the Spanish Civil War. Pulling on that thread, they write, revealed the evils of fascism, committed by ordinary people. The remark is part of a broader conversation about Spain's fascist past and how ordinary citizens enabled persecution and violence.

Why now: People are discussing the legacy of fascism in Spain through the story of Lorca's murder.
