Tens of thousands of people in more than 60 Spanish towns and cities took to the streets on Monday evening to demand a referendum on the future of the monarchy after King Juan Carlos announced his plans to abdicate and hand over power to his son Felipe.Juan Carlos said he decided to step down after his 76th birthday in January. His son Felipe, he assured Spaniards, "has the maturity, the readiness and the sense of responsibility necessary to take on the title of head of state and begin a new era of hope that combines experience and the drive of a new generation.Until now no Spanish monarch has handed power to his or her offspring since the 19th century. Courts would need to approve Crown Prince Felipe, 46, as his father's successor.
In my opinion, I think that in the XXI century we don't need a king. I don't understand why there is still a king. Juan Carlos kept his plans a secret from everyone.The only people who knew that he would abdicate were seven congressional people.
Actually, this whole issue of Spain, its aristocracy and all this theater that they make, I don't care about at all, either here or in morocco.
