King Juan Carlos Faced with Criticism and Protests

In recent weeks, the international media has documented the criticisms, protests and scurrilous attacks against King Juan Carlos of Spain and his family. Despite these assailments, the king has not been denounced and stripped of power which befell King Gyanendra of Nepal. Juan Carlos is capable of assuaging the fears of his people and if the country is not ready to become a republic, it will remain a constitutional monarchy until the people of Spain are ready for a drastic change.
