		Juan Carlos (originally known simply as Juan, and referred to as Juanito) was born in Rome, where his parents were in exile, in 1938, during the middle of the Spanish Civil War.
		His father was HRH Don Juan (later styled Count of Barcelona), third son of the exiled King, and heir to the throne because of renunciations by his two older brothers.

		Juan Carlos, with his soldierly temperament and his taste for women and fast cars, was widely perceived as Franco's stooge and an intellectual mediocrity.
		Juan Carlos places the king far more at the center of Spain's peaceful transition to democracy than he is usually positioned.
		Juan de Bourbon firmly believed that he should be the king, despite the fact that it was long obvious that he was totally unacceptable to Franco; Juan Carlos's position as Franco's putative successor placed him an inextricably uncomfortable relationship with his father Prince Juan.

		Spain's future is ostensibly in the hands of Juan Carlos de Borbon, designated by Franco as the next king and currently exercising interim powers.

		Though in the short run Juan Carlos and his rightist puppeteers have the initiative, in the long run the future of Spain depends on the actions of the left.

		(In the case of Juan Carlos, there is only one son, Prince Felipe, and there are two daughters.) Whereas Franco's fundamental laws forbade a female monarch, the 1978 Constitution allows a female to inherit the throne, but only if there are no males of the same generation.
		Nevertheless, Juan Carlos has maintained close relations with the military, and he has used his considerable influence with them to counteract potential threats to the stability of the democratic regime.
		In spite of these restrictions, the monarchy under Juan Carlos has achieved a significant degree of moral authority, largely because of his courageous and steadfast adherence to democratic procedures.

		While the end of Franco's rule marks, in one sense, the end of a symbol of fascism, it is not clear whether totalitarianism will continue under his hand-picked successor, Prince Juan Carlos de Borbon.
		But Juan Carlos has no real power base for this move and Spain's political climate under his leadership will not necessarily mean that major reforms will be made.
		And Juan Carlos, characterized by his friends, according to Israel Shenker of the New York Times, as "a simple melancholy character with little character and less color, lacking in wit and drive," brings no hope for democracy in Spain.

		In Spain, the death of the dictator Francisco Franco in 1975 paved the way for Juan Carlos de Borbón, who had been nominated as king and Franco's successor in 1969, to assume the throne.
