Discussion Point:

You may or may have not heard of Franco (Dictator of Spain from 1936-1975). Before he died, he appointed Juan Carlos as King of Spain to be his heir. Juan Carlos had a son, Felipe, who is now King of Spain and recently a Catalan Rapper was arrested for insulting the Spanish monarchy and allegedly glorifying “terrorism” in his music. Do you agree with the following statement...

Spain is still carrying on its dictatorship but in a different way to like Franco did.

I've made a quick research, he's been in problems before for other reasons, thus his trust and reputation is damaged. Now I haven't read Franquist Spain History, although the Civil War I have, too unnecessary

Yeah. The media mostly talks about the lèse-majesté, but not his referments to Marxist and terrorist organisations in Spain.

I mean, it's controversial talking about Lèse-Majesté, if you allow it, then morality and civilization gets hurt while the opposite gives immunity to the useless Crown, the only thing the work for it's international image. Why do certain people is free of charge and others not? Exception: Naive people, if they're not mature enough and not yet concious about stuff

Things becoming more and more complex, I guess I gotta read the Capital to know the small details

Yeah. There have been riots in Spain for a few days now because artists believe that it is artistic freedom of speech. They want to protect a rapper who praises Communist organisations which only want to suppress the people.

It doesn’t matter. I’m not that good at English aswell. Sometimes I even use some “dutch-isms” (Dutch words or sentences literally translated into English. Louis van Gaal is a good example of a person who has used a lot of dutch-isms).

I want to be as good as natives, or at least, be understood and understand. I see cool how different languages express ideas, we have a common one: Antier/Antiayer (the day before yesterday). You can easily see how convenient antier is for fast speaking

His crime is not very much lèse-majesté but praising terrorism
