This has not been a good Christmas for King Felipe of Spain as the just concluded elections in Spain threatens his power grip. he has called for calm and unity after the inconclusive Spanish elections in what is perhaps Europe's most unequal society and the gains by Podemos and their bright and charismatic leader Pablo Iglesias made major gains in only their second year and along with the socialist party threatens the elite rule of popular front that has pushed for a right-wing political agenda and tried to move an economy into a sphere of influence in the neo-liberal Anglo sphere and corporate command. The king also called for "national cohesion" in what correspondents say could be criticism of separatists in Catalonia.
Felipe is worried as shit as he sits on his throne reading the newspaper and has major bowl movements thinking about Pablo Iglesisis and his Podemos movement. Pablo is a modern day Fidel Castro without the arms and using the ballot box to demand and forestall change for Spain that unquestionably will be the better for most. Unlike Fidel Castro or Robin Hood Pablo doesn't have to hide in the forests or mountains to raise an army to fight for justice. will not be better for King Felipe VI though and he wonders if the VII will still have full reign of the ship and castle in a generation.
