Chen Xiangwei

Chen Xiangwei is a Chinese immigrant who runs a bar in Madrid called 'Una, Grande y Libre,' which is dedicated to the legacy of Spanish dictator Francisco Franco. Opened about fifteen years ago, the bar is filled with Franco memorabilia and serves as a gathering place for Franco's supporters, reflecting a controversial aspect of Spain's historical narrative. Chen admires Franco for his anti-communist stance and believes he contributed to Spain's economic development, despite the dictator's oppressive regime.
