I'm a republican and I'd like a referendum, but I'm pretty sure we won't get any in the near future. In any case, the King was getting old and his popularity was sinking way too deep for an institution whose only raison d'être is popular support, and Felipe was their only hope for a revival. The timing, though, will be used as a catalyst for bigger changes, or at least that's what a huge part of the population will demand, specially now that the two main parties lost half of their support exactly one week ago.
