ALONSO VEGA: el amigo de INFANCIA de FRANCO que cazó al MAQUIS durante 12 AÑOS

Francisco Franco distrusted everyone. His ministers. His generals. Even his own family. The Caudillo changed his government every few years, sidelining those who became too powerful, watching loyalists just as closely as suspects. He trusted no one. No one, least of all one man. A fellow Ferrol native. A classmate from the Toledo Military Academy. A soldier who fought alongside him in the Moroccan Wars. A friend of nearly seventy years. The only man to whom Franco entrusted, for almost a quarter of a century straight, the regime's dirtiest work. His name was Camilo Alonso Vega. This is the story of the fellow Ferrol native who became Franco's shadow. The director of the Civil Guard who organized the war against the maquis for twelve years, leaving more than two thousand dead. The Minister of the Interior who sent the riot police against the students for another twelve years. The general whom his own men nicknamed "Don Camulo" for his ruthlessness. And the most loyal and most feared friend Francisco Franco ever had. In this video, we revisit his complete story, with the documents in hand. Ferrol at the end of the 19th century. The Infantry Academy of Toledo in 1907, where he met a short, high-pitched cadet named Francisco Franco. The Rif War. The Civil War in command of the 4th Navarre Division. His oversight of the post-war concentration camp system. The twelve years leading the counterinsurgency war against the maquis: the reprisals, the Ley de Fugas (Law of Flight), the punishment of entire towns. The twelve years as Minister of the Interior. The clash with Fraga over the Press Law. The state of emergency of 1969 and the nickname Don Camulo. The Captain General's baton that Franco gave him upon his dismissal. And the question that explains everything: why did Franco, who trusted no one, trust this man for sixty years? The story of the most loyal friendship during the Franco regime, which was also one of its darkest.
