 After the war, Franco refused to recognize Israel as a legitimate state.The regime's propaganda claimed that there was an international conspiracy of Jews, Freemasons, and Communists against Spain.Under the Francoist regime, Jews, along with other non-Catholic communities, were heavily discriminated against – in 1945, the regime enacted the "Spanish Bill of Rights" ("Fuero de los Españoles"), which allowed the worship of non-Catholic religions; however, worship of non-Catholic religions was only allowed in private, no signs to indicate they were places of worship were allowed, and only Catholic public ceremonies were allowed, making it a huge regression in comparison to the Republican Constitution of 1931, which granted Jews rights they had not enjoyed in Spain since their expulsion in 1492.
