Better a muzzled monarchy than a power vacuum every time, it’s worked in the UK, Spain, (um… probably elsewhere but it worked well enough in those two places after their autocratic dictators kicked the bucket, and look where it left Russia and to an extent Italy - mafia, economy stagnating etc)

  Italian economy had always been better than Spain.
  
  And Spain have been never short of organized crime. They were just not been prosecuted precisely because successors or Franco who made such crime got government positions in the new democracy instead of getting the rope.

    The Italian economy always used to be on par with UK, France, Germany, but look at it now…

Just for the sake of clarity: Franco re-established it and Leonor’s gramps had Franco’s blessing.
