The aunt of Letizia Ortiz, Princess of Asturias and future Queen of Spain, has surprised Spaniards by speaking out in favour of a referendum to decide the future of the country’s monarchy.
Henar Ortiz, a self-proclaimed “secular, red and republican” supporter, wasted no time in voicing her disapproval of the monarchy on her Twitter account soon after news broke of King Juan Carlos’s abdication on Monday.
She called for a referendum in numerous comments hashtagged #referendumNOW and retweeted photos of anti-monarchy demonstrations from across Spain .... http://www.thelocal.es
