In occasion of the 100th anniversary of the II Republic of Spain, the left-wing group Izquierda Unida is calling for the third one to start. The current political and economic system, they argue, "has sold our sovereignty to the markets". To this image of corruption they compare the achievements of the II Republic: divorce, women's right to vote and compulsory education among many others.
Are they right? Are current politicians, bankers, the Royal Family to blame for today's desperate economic situation? Or is this yet another attempt at simplyfying a matter that is far more complex?
