When has Spain been a absolute monarchy recently, I think Spain became a Parliamentary Monarchy with the Cortes de Cadiz in 1836

It actually use to be mandatory in Spain since the dictatorship and until 20 years ago or so.

Because there are a lot of great electric bus manufacturers in Europe known intermationally. Irizar (🇪🇸), Solaris (🇵🇱), Van Hool (🇧🇪), Mercedes (🇩🇪), Volvo (🇸🇪), Castrosua (🇪🇸), MAN (🇩🇪), Iveco (🇮🇹) just to name a few.

13 countries, yes 13, gave 12 points to Israel in their televote. Spain and Belgium among them when in the Spanish broadcasting the commentators mentioned the crimes of Israel in Gaza and the Belgium broadcaster cut the transmission during the Israeli performance to demonstrate against their participation in the contest. It’s obvious that for the last two years Israel has been rigging the televote (it’s pretty easy to do so buying SIM cards or VPN and paying to vote 20 times). Eurovision has always been political, but the EBU should really consider if it’s worth it to destroy their reputation just because their main sponsor is an Israeli company (Morrocanoil). It’s not just because they are pink-washing a country condemned by the ICC for war crimes while vetoing Russia, but rigging the televote also shadows the real televotes of the Eurofans and screws the whole voting process.

Spain is a parliamentary monarchy, the King is the head of the Estate and a symbolic figure but doesn’t have power over the Parliament. In Spain we don’t use the title “prime minister” we have a President of the government and a president for each of the 16 autonomic regions (similar to federated estates).

Some data carriers with difficultues and broadcasting stations worked but on the street level trains, metros and traffic lights are still off in many places after 10 hours.

The Spanish and Portuguese presidents are saying that they don’t dismiss any hypothesis, but the only info beoadcasted through the news were that there was an overload in some point of the grid that created a domino effect and left all the system without voltage
