Cheng Xiangwei

Cheng Xiangwei is a Chinese immigrant and bar owner in Madrid who has drawn attention for running a bar that celebrates the legacy of Spanish dictator Francisco Franco. His establishment, adorned with Franco memorabilia and fascist symbols, serves as a controversial gathering place for those who admire Franco's regime and its historical impact on Spain. Cheng's vocal admiration for Franco, whom he credits with modernizing Spain, reflects a troubling resurgence of far-right sentiments in contemporary Spanish society.
