To sleep, perchance to dream. But in that sleep of death, what dreams may come?

The Spanish Supreme Court has given the green light to moving Franco's remains from his self-built mausoleum to a private graveyard, denying Franco family's appeal.

About time.

And an unanymous decision as well, which should make it bulletproof as a political argument, I hope.

Excellent.

Is there a decent amount of time they need to wait before taking jack-hammers to it and bulldozing the rubble?

AFAIK the family still intends to take the case to the Constitutional Court, so jackhammers will have to wait for a bit.

The government has just said that they intend to act as quickly as possible, so that it does not affect the future electoral campaign, slated for november. As a side objective it prevents the typical glorification event that nostalgics stage at the site every 20th of November, the date of Franco's death.

Also as clarification, the case is only about taking Franco's remains away to a different cemetery, not about tearing down the "Valley of the Fallen", which is actually a protected heritage site..

If Franco's remains are moved can members of the public piss on them at the new location?
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

The new location is a regular cemetery where other bigwigs from his regime, as well as his wife and other family members, are buried. apparently the family owns a crypt there so I doubt it'll be open to the public.

Well, you can always sneak in there.

Bah. I very much prefer to see him reburied in the Sagrada Familia. It would be a riot. Probably literally.

So he is currently still dead, correct?

The symptoms suggest so.
