⬛️⬜️Instead of acknowledging Spain’s structural democratic deficits, Juan Carlos I accuses Catalans of “disloyalty” and “intolerance”. These memoirs reveal the monarchy’s inability to accept pluralism. A democracy that refuses to confront its past cannot be called consolidated.

⬛️⬜️Spain presents itself as a “model democracy” but the reality tells another story:
- Political prisoners & exiles after the 2017 referendum
