I know the (probably correct) instinct is to side with Chavez, but I don't know the details of this event and ideally wanted opinions from comrades who pay closer attention to South American/Spanish politics.
Do you think Chavez had it coming? Or was he justified in his actions?
I'm spanish.
This did become a meme, but fuck the king, this happened before his fall from grace.
Oh so being appointed by Franco was "cool"?
Eh? Yes, according to the overall spanish population it was cool because he "disobeyed him" and "gave us " a democracy. My feelings are way, WAY more negative.
Thankfully, his support has diminished a lot since then.
bruh
What?
I "bruh"ed at "the people think he was cool because disobeyed Franco and gave Spain democracy"
Well, that's what a lot people thought and probably still think. At least now it's less than before.
And some of the ones who didn't think that, thought he gave us democracy during 23-F.
