El Ausente
El Ausente -- A Spanish expression meaning "the Absent One". The Falangist supporters of José Antonio Primo de Rivera called him by this name after his arrest by Republican forces in the Spanish Civil War, to symbolize his importance as a leader of the Nationalist forces, despite his absence. He was put to death while imprisoned, and was subsequently made into a martyr of the Francoist régime.
