Not so much utopian as.... he had a conservative regressive ideal and he aggressively pursued it, if you can read Spanish look at the media during his reign, it was very.... PRLish but with catholicism and the purity of the Spanish woman and isolation instead of socialism, worker struggle and comecon.
I had never heard anyone regard Franco as a utopian

Yes. But the idea plays on Polish complexes (Polish meaning) of being deemed second rate and inferior.
If it were framed as "A countries: need less integration B countries: need more integration" there would be less resistance to the idea.
Almost anything is worth avoiding the Euro (nothing I've heard and/or read about over the last 5 or 6 years makes me hate it less as an economy-killer for non-NW countries).
It's the exact reason why I see no harm in a multi-speed EU

Franco's Spain was a nice example of a rightwing utopia that failed because it was too counter to human nature (and the killing let's not forget the death toll).
What works best is a stable foundation that gets shaken up some from time to time to keep it from stagnating into traditionalism.
Rightist dreams of a nation of female homebodies with no interests beyond kinder, kirche, küche are just as stultifying and suffocating as left wing extremism is disorienting and nihilistic.
Moderation in all things, including moderation.
conservatives are generally for tradition, stability and time-honoured solutions that have worked. Leftists want to shake things up through social experimentation

I've discussed this with a Pole who lived in Sweden and he explained that Sweden has simply a different qualification of rape and they're counting offences in a different way nowadays than the rest of the Europe or sth, hence the high statistics of rape in this country.

It can be safely assumed that neither of the brothers K suffered much before martial law (during which only one was detained). I've said before that the communist party was probably like the mafia in Sicily - a lot of people were kind of affiliated with it though they didn't have formal membership.
And if that answers any other questions relating to having an immensely privileged life in that difficult period

The truth, that he volunteered to work for the office in charge of prosecuting dissidents (among others) is certainly bad enough. No need to sex it up with the 'volunteered to prosecute dissidents' line which, since it can't be backed up, makes it easier for people to make excuses for him.
