Huh. So I'm learning that people don't know about Carrero Blanco.

Ironically the bombers in question would probably have strongly objected at being memeified as "the people of Spain".

I thought I heard this referred to as the Basque Space Program before

You can see that the Basque are very inclusive of diversity in the fact that their first astronaut was a Spaniard from Madrid.

Too bad it wasnt a dickhead from Galicia.

I'm a spaniard, and the title makes sense cause it is true that instead of being mass hysteria, most people including high charging politicians didn't really condemn the attack that much because ut was better for the country, sure thr ppl who did it wouldnt be considerd ppl of Spain but the spanish population mostly seemed to turn a blind eye

I’m one of those people.

I knew of Franco, but not this guy.
