Spaniards are divided over their government’s plans to remove the remains of longtime dictator Gen. Francisco Franco from a shrine-like monument and rebury them in a more modest site.

Forty-one percent of Spaniards support the move, while 39 percent oppose it, according to a survey cited by The Wall Street Journal.

About 100 people gathered in Madrid on Saturday to oppose the plan, holding signs saying, “Leave Franco in peace” and “Hands off . . . Franco.”

However, many Spaniards say Franco’s current burial site glorifies the dictator’s victory in the 1936-39 civil war, The Journal reported.

“The wounds are by no means healed,” retiree Miguel Ángel Capapé was quoted as saying.

“It’s a fascist monument,” Capapé said.

Franco died in power in 1975 at age 82.
