No

For the record, Generalissimo Francisco Franco is still dead.

1. Real physically corporeal natural person from real life.
2. Died of natural causes rather than in some mad whirlwind of violence.
3. Died after the stroke of midnight on Jan 1, 1914.
4. Whitey.
5. Not a yankee-doodly-dandlin' US citizen.
6. From the highly civilised continent of Europe.
7. Not known as a scientician, boffin, medicine-man, doctor, tech geek, computer person, or technologiste.
8. His mom and dad were unimportant people, irrelevant nobodies, who have already largely slipped from humanity's collective memory.
9. Not a film, art, music, literature, etc artiste.
10. WAS known for something political and/or military
11. Not British.
12. Not born in Albania, Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, East Germany, Hungary, Poland, Romania, or the Soviet Union.
12. Not a leftie.
13. Did not play any notable part in WWII.

NOT: General Franco [Damo]

Did he serve in a prominent position in the Government of a member state of the EU (or its predecessors the EC or EEC) ?

The fact they were European (but not eastern European), either military or political, but not a senior politician from an EU state, or involved in WW2, narrows it down somewhat. I have another question but it's now someone else's turn.

We've had Franco, so let's try and complete the set. Is it Salazar?

Metaxas?
