L’Alfàs del Pi, Spain, 27 March 2017 – TRANSCEND Media Service – Female emancipation, patriarchic family decline and femicide are with us, the femicide according to UN[i] particularly in Guatemala, Mexico and Australia-Canada-South Africa-USA. And here in Spain women are also killed by (ex)husbands and (ex)lovers: 44 by “their” men in 2016, 60 in 2015[ii], first two months of 2017 maybe 17[iii]. Why?

The couple is a mini-society; killing is a civil war. Spain had a big civil war in 1936-1939; Franco’s goal was to recover normal Spain.
Could Spanish femicide be to recover the normal Spanish family? By men to the right politically, so numerous that the killing will continue? A hypothesis. A pessimistic prognosis.
Watch Colombia, a product of Spain still in the hands of the “real powers”, also killing women.
But was there ever something like the “normal Spanish family”?
Yes. In a feudal society based on land ownership and its military protection and expansion, the families of landowners and officers would be “normal”; as also the families of landworkers and soldiers.
