However, in June we have lived very important days in the history of this country still called Spain. Juan Carlos I announced that he was abdicating in favour of his son Felipe, who the 19th of June became the new king: Felipe VI. For Felipe and his family it is a great change in their lives as for many people who really support this institution. I don’t know if he knows all the pressure he will have to suffer, but it is true that he has been educated to be king since he was born.
In the past years, the Spanish monarchy has had a lot of problems and many people have attacked the institution because all of their big mistakes. With this decision it looks like Juan Carlos wants to renew an institution that has been strongly hit in the last months. Felipe VI will have to work hard to keep people happy.
For many Spanish people, the 19th of June was an important day. In the future, the history books will explain all what happened during those days. Felipe VI has become the second king in democracy, after Franco’s dictatorship. Juan Carlos has been the Spanish king for more than 39 years and now it is time for him to rest.
King Juan Carlos was one of the last important people I still remember since I was little. Probably, he is the last person and that confirms how time flies and that it is impossible to stop it.
The Spanish monarchy starts a new era with Felipe VI. The world is changing and this is something historic to everybody, even though you don’t support monarchy. One thing IS your opinions and another is what happens in the world. As A journalist I would have loved to be in Madrid during these days and explain everything what happened. I will have to resign myself with reading newspapers o watching TV.
