Dangerous nostalgia': did Spain's pact of forgetting' after Franco leave new generation open to far right?

Mingorrubio municipal cemetery, which sits where the suburbs of north-west Madrid fade out into the countryside, must have been something of a comedown for a man who was originally laid to rest with a 150-metre-high cross for a headstone and four enormous bronze archangels to watch over him. But six years after his remains were disinterred from the grotesque splendour of the Valley of the Fallen and flown by helicopter to Mingorrubio for reburial, Francisco Franco is at least in good company.

Dutch turbine engineer tried to turn wind into crypto

A Dutch wind farm operator learned the hard way that its turbines weren't just spinning to generate electricity - they were also powering someone else's crypto wallet. A court in Assen has sentenced an unnamed man - born in 1979, and working at the time as a technical manager for Nordex's wind turbine parks - to 120 hours of community service for siphoning electricity and breaking into systems across two sites. The judgment, delivered on November 13, found that he connected three cryptomining rigs and two Helium nodes to Nordex's internal network between August 16 and November 22, 2022.
