Talk:Francoist Spain

We should add the Enabling Act of Francisco Franco, the decree which gave him unlimited power

Here it is: The Francoist equivalent to Hitler's Enabling Act., I personally recommend adding this to the article. 190.141.83.19 (talk) 21:01, 14 April 2023 (UTC)

You have already added it... are you seeking consensus after the fact? --Technopat (talk) 21:14, 14 April 2023 (UTC)

Yes, I'm seeking consensus. (edit: I'm fairly new to Wikipedia). 190.141.83.19 (talk) 22:00, 14 April 2023 (UTC)

• I see no objection to adding it, but it would be more helpful to English Wikipedia if someone could find an English translation. Beyond My Ken (talk) 22:28, 14 April 2023 (UTC)

  You're right, because of its short text, we should use TransPerfect's services (that's what I'd do). 190.141.83.19 (talk) 03:24, 15 April 2023 (UTC)

Totalitarianism and citation problem

The article states that the regime evolved from totalitarianism to authoritarianism and cites "Payne, 2000", but this link is not attached to any book nor any source. More to it, Stanley Payne openly refutes the definition of Francoism as a totalitarian regime even when speaking of its early phases. Such definition is not universally accepted, and Enrique Moradiellos Garcia says that today it is rare today to find such definition among scholars. Among English-language sources, the only of them which states so is "European Dictatorships" by Stephen Lee, although he notes that it was not totalitarian in ideological plain. It appears that there are more Spanish-language sources that call Francoism totalitarian, like this one and this one (though I'm not sure if it's reliable), but they need to be added, and the broken citation of Payne needs to be at least removed; the topic defining the regime as totalitarian and debates around it probably also should be presented in the article 2.63.176.57 (talk) 18:28, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

Francoism article split

It already say in the Francoism section that its been suggested that it get its own page. I think it deserves a seperate page and should be split. ErickTheMerrick (talk) 23:56, 24 March 2025 (UTC)

Yes, similar to nazism that has a separate article Edro87 (talk) 02:12, 9 February 2026 (UTC)

Monarchy

In the article, its states that "In 1947, Franco proclaimed Spain a monarchy through the Ley de Sucesión en la Jefatura del Estado act, but did not designate a monarch." and that "Therefore, he left the throne vacant with himself as regent and set the basis for his succession." I think this gives strong reason to add that after 1947, Spain was a monarchy in the government infobox. Would like to know what others think and how to integrate this with the already added details (of which I am fond of how they were formatted). ErickTheMerrick (talk) 04:05, 31 March 2025 (UTC)
