Spain's Crown Prince Felipe to Replace King Juan Carlos
Keywords:
Tags:
A difficult period for the monarchy in Spain after a number of scandals affected the reputation of King Juan Carlos. His son has a graduate degree in international relations from Georgetown University. He has distanced himself from the scandals, brings a youthful look at 46, aand was groomed by his parents for the job. Though Juan Carlos has seen his repuation tarnished in recent years, especially with the continuing economic hardships of high unemployment in Spain, he played a large part in Spain's transition to democracy after the Franco years. Even with such difficulties just over half of Spaniards respect the monarchy down from much higher numbers before the economic crisis, when Juan Carlos was seen as a modernizer for Spain. Because of Spain's history of Republicanism at odds with a conservative culture and the Franco years of division accompanied by great distress, the monarchy's role requires a special touch- a feeling for the needs of the people which Carlos showed in the early years, and for which Felipe was trained.
Juan Carlos I of Spain
09/28/2012
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.
