 Most government buildings and streets that were named after Franco during his rule have been reverted to their original names.Owing to Franco's human-rights record, the Spanish government in 2007 banned all official public references to the Franco regime and began the removal of all statues, street names and memorials associated with the regime, with the last statue reportedly being removed in 2008 in the city of Santander.Churches that retain plaques commemorating Franco and the victims of his Republican opponents may lose state aid.
