Get a grip.

Wiki is quite comprehensive: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juan_Carlos_of_Spain. Just because you hate your King doesn't mean the Spaniads hate theirs.
Irrelevant. One semi-good king does not excuse the idiots before, Alfonso XIII who like I said before, instituted the dictatorship of Primo de Rivera and was unable to take power himself because he was an incompetent inbred.

And it should be noted that the Carlist Requetés were Franco's 3rd best troops, after the Condor Legion and Yaque's Moroccans, and certainly a key factor in his victory and subsequent dictatorship.
