Absolutely. They have far more approval than the democratic government. If the new King wanted to run the country like King's of old, the people would probably cheer for him in the streets. The monarchy was essential in getting rid of the Franco dictatorship.

That was a bad time for Spain. On the one hand you had facists, and on the other hand you had communists. Not the most attractive of choices.

Where in hell did you "learn" history?

General Franco was a fine Christian gentleman and Juan Carlos was his handpicked successor.
