I really don't care much about Franco, he was just a figurehead. He was barely a politician too, and in his own words he didn't want to be one and prefered to leave most of the matters related to the governing of the country like the economics to other people.
The people who idolize him do because "everything was better under his rule" and all of that, but that doesn't mean much because you're not avowing your support for an ideology or a modern political change, you're just worshiping an idea of what being governed by Franco was like, and Franco is dead so whatever.
Then I feel that the people who hate him do because they were taught to do so and because of their ideology without understanding the reasons that led to the rising of a person like Franco as a figurehead and the conflict in the first place. Franco was a product of his time and there were plenty of people who would have taken his place as the leader of the nationalist movement if things had played out differently, since not all of them got along. Both sides had their share of problems and wrongdoings.
