My mother and I watched the Latin American conference video feed of the encounter between the devil of Venezuela [Hugo Chavez] and our king [Juan Carlos de Borbon]. We are so proud!
Its such a shame that a country with so much natural wealth has been devastated for so long – and now they allow themselves to believe that a peasant from the country with no formal education will actually not be corrupt – and spread the wealth all around. I do feel for them – but his oral attack on Zapatero (although I dont like the guy) using historical comparisons to fascism is both sad and low class. Again, he probably never studied how many thousands of people died during the Spanish Civil War, and during the Franco regime.
My mother said the confrontation between Juan Carlos and Hugo Chavez reminded her of when the king was the only man standing – at the front of parliament – in 1982 – when members of the Spanish military ran in shooting, attempting to stage a coup d’etat. Juan Carlos said “this will not happen again – so please leave”. And they did.
In general I am not a monarchist, as the ones in England are worthless, but the Bourbon family in Spain all have day jobs… all are nice… and have the fortitude any man would admire. Salud to them.
