¿Qué busca el REY JUAN CARLOS I con sus memorias? | Podcast HOY EN EL PAÍS

Juan Carlos I's book has been published in France, and some excerpts are already circulating in Spain ahead of its December release. The former king discusses the accidental death of his brother, his marriage to Queen Sofía, and expresses his gratitude to dictator Francisco Franco for shaping him into a monarch. In the book, he states his desire to tell "his version of history." He also reflects on the feeling of his own impending death drawing ever closer.
