Spanish State: After the Abdication of the King,
It's Time to Checkmate the Regime
<http://www.socialistproject.ca/bullet/993.php> Esther Vivas

The regime is collapsing, it is dying and in its last-ditch struggle to
survive, the king has abdicated. Never has the regime resulting from the
Transition [The Transition is the name given to the political process
following the death of Franco, which culminated in the Constitution of 1978]
been as widely challenged as it is today. The pillars on which it rests,
the monarchy, the judiciary, bipartisanship, have been greatly
delegitimized for some time now. We no longer believe in their lies, those
lies with which they are trying to hold together a system that is falling
apart. What seemed not so long ago impossible appears today as a reality.
Let us push with all our might to widen even further this breach that the
economic, social and political crisis has made possible.

Since the elephant hunt of his "majesty" in Botswana, through the
indictment of his son-in-law Iñaki Urdangarín in the "Noos affair" and the
involvement of the Infanta Cristina in this case, and including the many
operations on the monarch's hip, costing millions and paid out of public
funds, the Royal House has become a caricature of itself. One of the main
justifications of "democracy" is mortally wounded, but it is not dead yet.

The announcement of the royal abdication is a final, desperate attempt to
save the regime; an attempt at a ‘facelift’ with the aim of restoring
legitimacy not only to the monarchy but also to its suite of judges,
politicians and opinion formers. For years, far too many years, they have
lived under the shelter of this false Transition, trying to efface or hide
our collective history. Our forgetfulness has been the substrate of their
victory, not only moral but also political and economic.
