  "account": "Historians César Rina and Miguel Ángel del Arco Blanco have expressed outrage and indignation over being cited as sources in a resolution by the Junta de Extremadura, a regional government in Spain, to declare a Franco-era cross a Bien de Interés Cultural (BIC), or cultural interest. The cross, known as the Cruz de los Caídos de Cáceres, was built to commemorate and honor the victors of the Spanish Civil War. The government's move to declare it a BIC aims to prevent its removal, a decision opposed by various groups, including memorialist associations and the central government. Around 100 objections have been submitted, and the Junta must respond to them within 16 months.",
  "summary": "Reputed researchers Miguel Ángel del Arco and César Rina denounce the \"falsification\" of their work in a resolution of the Junta de Extremadura to declare the Cross of the Fallen of Cáceres a Cultural Asset of Interest.",
