Former King Juan Carlos I of Spain, Seeking Relevance, Publishes Book
AI Summary
Former King Juan Carlos I of Spain, who abdicated and went into self-exile in Abu Dhabi following scandals, is attempting a comeback with a new memoir titled "Reconciliation." The 87-year-old former monarch feels excluded from recent celebrations of Spain's transition to democracy, despite his instrumental role in establishing the parliamentary monarchy. The book, co-authored by Laurence Debray, includes family grievances, admissions of guilt, and reflections on his past, including an account of his brother's death and praise for Franco's political acumen. Juan Carlos hopes the memoir will restore his relevance in Spain and address what he sees as dangerous polarization. His efforts come after being largely excluded from the 50th-anniversary celebrations of Spain's transition to democracy.
