...invader of their ancient rights and privileges. Fortnight ago General Gonzalo Queipo de Llano, little "tsar" of Andalusia, and General Juan Yagüe, commander of the Moroccan Army Corps, were dismissed from their posts, presumably because of too ardent opposition to the Fascist notions of the youthful, fiery Ramón Serrano Suñer, Generalissimo Francisco Franco's Minister of the Interior and, next to the Generalissimo, Spain's most powerful figure.

Only if he agreed could descriptions of such meetings be published. Another blow for independent Generals and Carlists, Senor Serrano's decrees made it plain that the Falangists were winning the peace...
...Arriba and the evening Madrid are official organs of Serrano Suñer's Falangists. The other two, Ya (morning) and Informaciones (evening), are under editors named by the Government, which means by the Minister of the Interior, Franco's strong-man brother-in-law (el Cunadisimo), Ramón Serrano Sufier...
