Spanish Monarchy: Survival and Change
The article addresses the current state of the Spanish monarchy, particularly since King Felipe VI ascended to the throne in 2014. His reign has been characterized by efforts to restore the legitimacy of the royal institution following previous scandals and ethical issues linked to his father, King Juan Carlos. The new king has imposed strict regulations that restrict the activities of royal family members and promote transparency, including salary reductions, financial audits, and accountability measures. Despite these reforms, the Spanish monarchy still faces significant challenges, foremost among them the rising republican movements that enjoy increasing public support. Polls have shown a decline in favor of the monarchy from about 62% in 2014 to less than 41% in 2026, with growing calls for referendums on the form of government—especially among younger generations, leftist parties, and Catalan groups. Additionally, the economic and political crises threaten the long-term stability of the royal institution, amid popular demands and political sectors considering the republic as a legitimate alternative.
