Spanish psychologist Jesus Moreno has observed a concerning shift in young men's drawings of masculinity, with an emergence of far-right themes, symbols, and even nostalgic references to Francisco Franco. This change reflects a broader trend of embracing toxic, macho ideals intertwined with political identity. The impact of technology and media, alongside societal issues surrounding masculinity, is particularly potent in Spain's unique historical context, where the specter of the Franco dictatorship continues to influence contemporary political discourse among youth, prompting alarm among educators.
