Conclusions
-The Franco regime and the monarchy.
As seen, the Franco regime did not affect the oligarchies, real masters of the country, which continued to rule more strongly driven by the Franco regime helped by militars. The demands and restrictions fell on the people. Franco ruled as a monarch. The return of the monarchy was inevitable.
-Juan Carlos and politics.
The actual royal activity for institutional maintenance has not been politically oriented, it means that it is based on the survival and maintenance, above the political regime. During Franco's dictatorship Juan Carlos conformed to its conditions. When the social pressure became unbearable dictatorship and Juan Carlos adapted to democracy in the transiction "La transición". Since them he performed as ambassador and trader. This activity was driven by politicians and businessmen, soldiers and priests. The oligarchy.
The activity of Juan Carlos as occupant of the throne has been to control and punish the other family members possible rivals to the throne. Brother, cousin, father. The crown requires sacrifices.
-Democracy and monarchy.
The king and the crown is angrily defended as a symbol of the rulers and their values. As Rubicon is the emblem of the oligarchy, repression and force that this policial and military state can have. No one can critic the crown unther the worst punish, prision and torture. Oligarchy imposes a king "because they can".
The king is representative of the values of the oligarchy, and its double standards.
On the one hand, facing the gallery with great fanfare: family, church, state, military, home, luxury, wealth and prosperity. Oligarchy imposes a king "because they want".
But on the other hand, under a poorly hidden secret: murder, hatred, betrayal, envy, frustration, deception, opulence, waste, depressions and corruption.
Overthrow King
But overthrow the king would not end the oligarchy. The fascist forces can be organized perfectly in republic as demonstrated in the I and II or dictatorships as with Franco.
Juan Carlos seems will die in bed, as his predecessor. Felipe was easy to get the throne, but hard to keep. Paved the way for his father, he will need a punch line style 23-F to quell doubts. We dig doubt that something must have thought.
Attacking the king is attacking the oligarchy, and will be no permit.
