Juan Carlos I Seeks Redemption, for Spain and Monarchy
Keywords:
Tags: Current Focus, Spain,
Juan Carlos I is unique among monarchs in the world in the way he has worked tirelessly to promote Spanish interests overseas, and promote Spain's vibrantly functioning democracy, after the pain and stagnation of the Franco years. He did this in the last three decades as Spain gradually returned to normal political and economic life and joined the European Union. There is a sense of personal responsibility for the past in Spain in the sense of making every effort to learn from the mistakes of the past, that one finds in Germany, and the king shares this feeling. Juan Carlos actively participates in political meetings including the association of Latin American countries and promotes Spanish business in a way that is not seen anywhere else in the world, and not in the British monarchy, the closest comparable monarchy in Europe. During the current economic crisis he is rallying Spanish business with the message: export, export, export. Juan Carlos's son is also being prepared for a similiar role.
Juan Carlos I of Spain

The monarchy in Spain returned only after the years of the Franco dictatorship. These were years of great division and repression in Spain preceded by the violence of the civil war. Juan Carlos and the political parties that emerged in Spain in the 1970's were highly motivated to return Spain to normal political life with a truly functioning democracy and respect for parties on both sides. Juan Carlos also acted as a promoter of Spain overseas. In the current economic crisis he is renewing this role. The king's son is also being prepared for a similiar role.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
