Spanish king abdicates: time for a new generation 'to move to the front line'
King Juan Carlos of Spain announced on Monday that he was abdicating in favor of Crown Prince Felipe, his 46-year-old son, explaining in an address to the nation that it was time for a new generation to “move to the front line” and face the country’s challenges. Read full article

Disclaimer & comment rulesAmazing how swiftly the Spanish government can get around to working on abdication laws now that they need them, but can't seem to get anywhere near dealing with Catalonia's quest for a referendum.
Jun 03rd, 2014 - 07:12 am - Link - Report abuse 0Seeing how most Spanish speaking countries have been served by a republican form of government, I think that a constitutional monarchy is the best fit for Spain. Pity the idea didn't take off more in Latin America. They would have been better emulating the UK than the US.
This was on the the cards for sometime: turns out the elephant in the room was in fact an elephant! (an ex-elelphant I should add).

Jun 03rd, 2014 - 09:30 am - Link - Report abuse 0Hello,
Just a couple of points:
Spain already has legislation, which regulates the monarch’s possible abdication.
For many years’ it has been widely rumoured that Juan Carlos has kept a succession of mistresses. It is also said that, during the infamous Elephant hunting trip –when the ruler was still president of Spain’s WWF– the press photograph of the Spanish sovereign with the slain ‘Loxodonta Africana’, pictured his present paramour, too. Furthermore, for many years’ rumours have persisted that the king was one of the several secret instigators of the failed 1981 coup d’état. However, some sources claim that –at the last minute– the king got cold feet, withdrew his support for the military uprising and is no longer trusted by some in Spanish Establishment on neither the Left nor the Right.
Cheers!
Jim, in Madrid.
They showed the pictures of this brave man on the BBC last night stood next the very sorry sight of the beautiful elephant the bastard shot. You can only hope that his end is as horrific and painful as it was for that poor elephant.

This is yet another asinine generalization, which is utterly untrue, as usual. Many Spaniards are keen shots (hunters) and/or, anglers and in common with their fellow sportsmen of other nations, they have a vested interest in animal welfare, in order to maintain a plentiful, healthy stock of game and fish.
As a former resident of W. Africa, I never cease to be dumfounded by the degree of bleeding-heart, sobbing support for BEASTS such as elephants (which are so vigorously numerous that they need periodic culling, anyway –I do not condone the illicit ivory trade, of course). Equally astounding is the widespread, absolute indifference toward the cruel fate of the some 20.000 HUMAN Sub-Saharan children who die each and every day, for the want of clean water and basic, cheap medicines.
Cheers!

COPY OF ARTICLE 56 OF THE SPANISH CONSTITUTION
Artículo 56
1. El Rey es el Jefe del Estado, símbolo de su unidad y permanencia, arbitra y modera el funcionamiento regular de las instituciones, asume la más alta representación del Estado español en las relaciones internacionales, especialmente con las naciones de su comunidad histórica, y ejerce las funciones que le atribuyen expresamente la Constitución y las leyes.
2. Su título es el de Rey de España y podrá utilizar los demás que correspondan a la Corona.
3. La persona del Rey de España es inviolable y no está sujeta a responsabilidad. Sus actos estarán siempre refrendados en la forma establecida en el artículo 64, careciendo de validez sin dicho refrendo, salvo lo dispuesto en el artículo 65,2.
Con el artículo 56 se da comienzo al Título II de la Constitución que se ocupa “ de la Corona”.
El fundamento del refrendo se encuentra en el carácter intangible de la Jefatura del Estado, gracias al cual el Rey simboliza, modera y arbitra, pero no asume decisiones sino que se limita, con su firma, a perfeccionar determinados actos políticos de gobierno convirtiéndolos en actos de Estado. Por consiguiente en la institución del refrendo concurren dos actos simultáneos emanados de dos voluntades bien diferentes: por un lado el acto regio, de naturaleza incompleta, pero que es condición de validez para el otro acto simultáneo, el proviniente del órgano refrendante (Presidente del Gobierno, Ministro o Presidente del Congreso), al que complementa y que es a su vez presupuesto para la existencia de aquél. Lo relevante es, precisamente, que mediante el refrendo (acto refrendante) se elude la res

I’ve lived here since early 1967. Previously, I was a frequent visitor to this country.
The national Spanish equivalent of the RSPCA is the Sociedad Protectora de Animales, see here:
http://www.animalhelp.es/protectoras2.htm
http://www.animalhelp.es/protectoras2.htm
and lots of other similar organizations such as:
http://www.animalhelp.es/protectoras2.htm
Many more entities work to prevent mistreatment of animals. There’s a Spanish branch of the WWF and even a vociferous group of people who vehemently oppose bullfighting.
Regarding the culling of wild cats, here; this is often a question of available funds (why do many UK roads have potholes dangerous to PEOPLE’S lives?)
Having been brought up as a Welsh Marches bumpkin, lived in the W. African bush and having married the daughter of quite a well-known Spanish matador, I understand, respect animals and would never condone needlessly harming a beast –especially me dear ol’ wife. However, I AM in favour of NECESSARY rural activities such as badger control and foxhunting. And I maintain that it’s a shame that our starving FELLOW MEN are not shown such pity as certain –particularly the EXOTIC– friggin’ fauna. At breakfast, most people couldn’t care less about porcine welfare, other than that before being sacrificed, the pig should have ‘lived the good life’ and thus produce tender, succulent sausages, juicy kidneys and, tasty crisp bacon.

The way I understand it (after watching TVE News) is that provision was made when writing the constitution for an “organic law” to be formulated, when needed, to deal with certain situations that may arise during his reign - abdication being one of those and removal from the throne another. My Spanish is a bit rusty these days but it sounds about right.

Thankfully we got Juan Carlos, not the Army, which is what many - including my Grandfather-in-Law - expected to happen. When news came out that Franco was on his last legs Abuelo headed off to his workshop with a bottle of Fino to clean his guns and make more bullets :-) Interesting times... but it came good in the end.

Perhaps. But some of your forebears DO have the ignominious antecedent of regularly having organizing hunting parties which were formed with the express purpose of shooting your indigenous, Argentinean Indians, who were considered little better than vermin and in need of extermination. This barbaric practice wasn’t ended until well into the 1920’s. Of course, not awfully long before the 20’s, it was common practice for certain whites to keep slaves –over whom the masters held the gift of life and death– in conditions of appalling cruelty. And that’s not to mention the antics of Hitler, Stalin and more recent ‘merry little megalomaniacs –nor yet the USA’a activities in twentieth century Latin America…

Not correct. Perhaps you’re confusing primary legislation (must be voted into law by a plenary parliamentary session) with ministerial dispositions (approved by cabinet to regulate specific, relatively minor matters of an ad hoc nature).
I ain’t sure but I THINK that’s right. After all, Spain is a democracy so the Govt cannot do as it wishes at the drop of a hat, without reference to the properly convened and constituted Parliamentary Chambers.

I didn’t suggest that gays should be saved nor otherwise. Rather, I noted the capricious preference the Media shows toward that which it finds curious, exotic ‘outside the human or animal norms’ et cetera and how an utterly disproportional, excessive emphasis is placed upon the often-inconsequential activities of certain relatively unimportant social MINORITIES, simply in order to titillate the chattering classes’ fleeting, vacuous sentimentality. Meanwhile, the interests of those of the aptly named Silent Majority are completely ignored. Remember the old Newspaper adage, “Dog bites man –NOT NEWS. Man bites dog –HOT NEWS!”. To which I counter, “Just ‘cos summat’s boring, don’t mke it unimportant”
So come awf it, Mate. If you don’t want to be thought a nasty, manipulative little person, do refrain from putting words into my mouth. And do desist from that hoary daft trick of asking me if I’ve stopped beating my wife –it’s she who trashes me. I’m a closet SM, ol’ fruit! (JOKE)

Re: The Spanish king’s abdication, I’ve just come across this Tweet in which, it is claimed that that after abdication, Juan Carlos will lose his immunity from prosecution and –possibly– be subjected to legal proceedings for alleged human rights violations, et cetera, brought by far-left political interests. The prospect of the former King’s being the accused in a public court, is too much for both Spain’s Conservative and Socialist parties to stomach and they’re now urgently cooperating to avoid such an eventuality, by changing the law:
