      The title was created in 1975 by the Spanish king, who himself was appointed by Franco. - how did this family accumulate this fortune? - why is a socialist government OK with this? - can you imagine this happening in Italy, or in Germany? #ConsolidatedDemocracy

        The king of Spain, whose father was appointed king of Spain by Franco, is congratulated by the (tax-deductible publically funded) Franco Foundation for ensuring that the Duchess of Franco gets her title (which was created by the king of Spain's father). @publico_es/1156179634234507264?s=19
