TL;DR Summary

The remains of Spanish fascist leader José Antonio Primo de Rivera have been exhumed from a mausoleum and moved to a less-prominent cemetery in Madrid as part of the government's effort to tackle the legacy of the country's civil war and dictatorship. Primo de Rivera was executed at the start of the 1936-1939 conflict, over his links to rebels who had carried out a coup against the elected government. His modern-day supporters clashed with police outside the cemetery.
