LIBYA FOR THE SPANISH SOLUTION?

In recent history there are cases of monarchies happily restored after the dictatorship. The most famous is that of Spain. The fascist dictator Francisco Franco, who ruled from 1937 until his death in 1975, decided to prepare well in advance for a smooth transition from his regime to that of the parliamentary monarchy. For this he wanted next to him, the young Juan Carlos of Bourbon, who raised him as his successor. Everything went smoothly, except the farcical coup attempt of Lt. Col. Antonio Tejero in 1981, which erupted in the classroom of Parliament. Democracy was restored with all the freedoms fonamentali, and the figure of the king served to allay the fears of Franco after the arrival of the Socialists in power.
Then there is the case of the king returned home after a long exile with his own party by winning elections. It happened to Simeon of Bulgaria, ruler from 1943 to '46, and then prime minister from 2001 to 2005.
In the case of Libya, a king Senussi serve as a unifying figure, not only from the political point of view, to reconcile Tripolitania and Cyrenaica, but also for religious reasons.
