The Answer is Yes

Courrier International published a short note regarding yet one more voice demanding an end to Spain's monarchy.

Here you have it:

Should the Spanish monarchy be abolished ?

Regional independence movements have attacked the Crown on several occasions in Spain recently. The writer Juan Bas, who was born in the Basque country, calls for an open debate on institutions. "Why am I in favour of a third republic and not of a king as Head of State ? For a fundamental democratic reason in keeping with the modernity of the 21st century: because in a republic, the Head of State is the president, who is elected, rather than someone who inherits power at birth, in total contradiction with the fact we are all born equal. ... Monarchy belongs to an obsolete world with a medieval aesthetic: a world that no longer exists, except for a few exceptions."
