The Proclamation of Felipe VI

 In today's special program, dedicated to a discussion of the Spanish monarchy on the occasion of the Proclamation of Spain's new King, Felipe VI, Justin Coe and Alison Hughes are joined in the studio by long-time observers of the Spanish scene: Dutch journalist and veteran correspondent, Robbert Bosschart, Guy Hedgecoe, former editor of El País in English, and Gil Carbajal, a colleague of ours here at REE for many years.  In this roundtable, we review the events of the past week and a half, the announcement of King Juan Carlos's abdication, compare Spain's situation with that of neighboring countries, and speculate a little on the future (19/06/14).
