Spain’s ex-King Juan Carlos lands in Abu Dhabi: reports
Though Spain is a constitutional monarchy like the UK or Japan, the royalty still holds significant executive and legislative power. After Franco’s death in November 1975, Juan Carlos succeeded to the position of King of Spain and head of state. When rebel forces rose in 1981, the king took personal command of the military and ordered the coup plotters. After the four-decade-long reign, he abdicated and succeeded the throne to his son Felipe, the present King of Spain, in 2014, upon which he lost his immunity from prosecution.
What a person would do if he or she is free from legal prosecution for such a long period or their lifetime? Now, the former king of Spain, Juan Carlos fled from his kingdom and is now in another kingdom whose religion is different from his. It is also reported that he stays on one of the floors of Emirate’s Palace Hotel. Indeed, the ex-king still wants to live in a “palace” even in an emirate.
Read the article and think why the ex-Spanish king is in an emirate, not even one of Spain’s former colonies, if not his own kingdom.
