Coat of arms under Franco, displaying the motto "Una Grande Libre".
Una, Grande y Libre (English: One, Great and Free), was the Francoist tripartite motto which expressed the nationalist concept of Spain as being:
- Indivisible (against the separatism of the Basques, Galicians and Catalans).
- Imperial (for the lost Empire of South America and the colonies in Asia and to expand the African one).
- And no sometida a influencias extranjeras (not submitted to foreign influences) in reference to the alleged Jewish-masonic-Marxist conspiracy against Spain.
¡Una, Grande y Libre! was often used at the end of speeches, similar to the way Amen is used in church. The leader would exclaim three times ¡España!, and the public would successively respond to each of these shouts with ¡Una!, ¡Grande!, and finally ¡Libre!. The theatre would continue with an almost choreographed script of ¡Arriba España!, ¡Arriba! José Antonio, ¡Presente!, Caídos por Dios y por España, ¡Presente!. ¡Viva Franco!, ¡Viva!, or just intoning ¡Franco, Franco, Franco…!
