A friend, a “lifelong Republican,” tells me that what bothered him most about the increase in the King's salary was not the increase, but the bitter political realization that “these things would not happen in a Republic.” My friend has not even entered into the dangerous game of making odious comparisons between the peak of His Majesty's salary and the diminishing increase in the salary of active workers and passive retirees. He has only been interested in emphasizing that in a “Republic as God intended this would not happen.” His appeal to God must be considered as a more or less poetic license. Well, you know well that God has nothing to do with these matters, even less so if we are talking about a Republic. For the right, God has never been republican, but rather monarchist, in the wake of King David. My friend has always thought that the Republic is, has been and will be, a political system, not only more perfect and more democratic and more respectful of the interests of citizens than a monarchy.
That's why he tells me in conclusion that "the Republic is either left-wing or it won't be, don't you think?" The king was naked I tell you what I think. And the answer is no. I do not advise you to read Plato so that you understand my refusal, I only explain that the Republic is a political system of government that can be governed by political principles of both the right and Guatemala Mobile Number List the left. He doesn't see it very clearly, but, since my friend is very polite, he doesn't interrupt me and lets me continue. I remind you, then, that the Italian Republic has been presided over for years by an unpresentable right-wing guy like Berlusconi and that the French Republic, heir to the Revolution that guillotined kings, by a president named Sarkozy accused of corruption. And they have not been the first to fall into these vile things. And I take this opportunity to remind you that Spain, during the so-called black biennium, the Republic was in the hands of the most disastrous right in Europe until the Popular Front arrived in February 1936 and placed Azaña as president, Don Manuel not being, precisely, a neither very left-wing nor very radical politician. Which was quite logical, since he came from a reformist party, such as that of Melquíades Álvarez.
Republic, yes, but total and absolute defense of the res-publica . That is, defender of the public no matter who falls Like my friend, there are many people who think that the system of government that we call the Republic necessarily has to respond to left-wing political parameters. Me and my friend would like it to be that way, but it isn't. You can be a Republican and be right-wing. Niceto Alcalá Zamora, who was its president, was. Also, Lerroux. In reality, during the Second Republic in Spain there were many of them. Right-wing Republicans, I mean. They did not want a king to rule them, but they were also not supporters of secularism, divorce, abortion, or coeducation. Even less about the Agrarian Reform. But nothing more curious than this observation. Today, with a constitutional monarchy we have almost all of that within our reach . Well, minus the Agrarian Reform and the return to the municipal community of the properties unregistered by the Church in that way. There are States with a republican political system and in which their respective governments commit all types of abuses against the rights of citizens. There, for example, is Poland with a Parliamentary Republic and, yet, its governments have been cutting off the heads of dissidents without flinching. A political system of government, even if it is called a Republic, does not guarantee that human rights are safe.
