“If Spain was such a rich country as you advocate, then why as many Spanish emigrated to France, Belgium, Switzerland”
I think he admitted it was not a rich country at the time, and had not been since before the French occupied Spain under Napoleon.
Post Franco Spain boomed somewhere between 1980 and 1992. Madrid was like a different place. I do, however, disagree with MiamaMan on Franco. I happen to think he was the best they could hope for out of the Civil War. He was as benevolent a dictator as there has been, but he was still a dictator.
