It's not the point, the point is Aznar has been elected by the people of Spain, that was the point of Zapatero. He told to Chavez to show respect to the spanish people and then he explained to Chavez he needs to show respect to anyone if he wants to be respected today and later. Is it something you don't understand ? you don't agree with this statment ?

I have no respect for institutions of royalty in any nation. I can't imagine having pride in such a decadent and phony institution. What the hell is the matter with people?
But who are you to judge ?

I mean so many peoples in the world have choosen to keep their king, you don't like this choice but you clearly don't live in one of this country, so drop the case and let other people do what they want.

Its got nothing to do with Spain in particular. I just find the institution, be it the queen of england or the king of Spain, to be contrary to my egalitarian ideals.

So what ? Who cares ? You judge ONE people here (ie : the king of spain) whereas you are not spaniard, you clearly don't understand the history of this country, their values, etc, and you clearly didn't try to understand what our spanish guy on the board try to tell you. IT IS THE CHOICE OF THE SPANISH PEOPLE and IT IS NOT THE CHOICE OF THE KING OF SPAIN.
