I wonder if this is the reason Spain resisted the advent of far right for so long, compared to its European counterparts.

The Spanish Civil War would like to have a word with you, but maybe Franco is part of "the resistance" now.

Franco died in 1975. They clearly mean recently.

He might have died 50 years ago, but sadly his shadow is very, very long even to this day...

Not really. If you compare Spanish politics with UK, for example.

What an odd comment. I'd think it's obvious I referred to the current wave that started 15* years ago.

* give or take some years

Isn't it obvious that nothing is obvious?

Obviously not.
