The problem of Santa Cruz de Tenerife with its Francoist vestiges must be resolved by a psychoanalyst, because it is not acceptable that the rest of the Islands see their respective extinction processes slowed down due to the judicial resources of the competent authorities there. The exaltation of the autocrat through monuments was more evident in the territory where Franco activated his crusade. A pride that apparently goes beyond the main motivations of historical memory in Spain, a record that has run aground due to the unwavering adherence that still floats in the air. The island’s rearguard had its singularity: the large agricultural owners gave the general structural protection to be able to reach the Dragon Rapide in time and form. And the fee was more than paid for, both with rises in the ranks and with perks that improved their businesses. The beneficiaries, in return, threw themselves into self-promotion like crazy with the names of the streets or with horrible monuments, especially in Tenerife. The sick adulation of Franco did not stop there, as is obvious, but a group of washbasins dedicated themselves to the exercise of repression with Machiavellian finesse. The possibility that one day a government would ask them to account, or that it would erase forever those distinctions and honors distributed throughout the Archipelago did not enter their minds. Some managed to whiten their past, and others passed the baton to their descendants with the task of burying the dark years forever. In the catalog of vestiges of the capital there are quite a few of these elements, some enriched by the anointing of the generalissimo and cemented in the agricultural caciquismo, others from the judiciary of the war councils and some more that were part of the special services of the headquarters . If Santa Cruz wants to be with that coven, then there they and their psychoanalyst. But what is not appropriate is that the rest of the canaries have to swallow with that tingle of pleasure that the macabre milestone gives them: from here he emerged victorious.
