The vandalised memorial in Motherwell
AN INVESTIGATION has been launched after a memorial to volunteers who fought against fascism in the Spanish Civil War was defaced.
The commemorative stone in Duchess Park, Motherwell, was vandalised with graffiti including “Franco” and “vermin” alongside what are thought to be fascist symbols.
The memorial is dedicated to North Lanarkshire volunteers who went to Spain in 1936-39 to fight against General Franco’s fascist rebellion.
