Humilde y Admirable. Uno de nosotros.

Podría ser uno de nosotros. Un humilde estudiante de Almería cuyo padre es ganadero. Aparte de estudiar, nunca se puso metas. Medalla de oro de Andalucía. Nuestro ejemplo.

Sandhurst Manifesto by Cánovas del Castillo

"Por virtud de la espontánea y solemne abdicación de mi augusta madre, tan generosa como infortunada, soy único representante yo del derecho monárquico en España [...].

Who was the mother of Alfonso XII? Where was she living? Why?

Afortunadamente la Monarquía hereditaria y constitucional posee en sus principios la necesaria flexibilidad y cuantas condiciones de acierto hacen falta para que todos los problemas que traiga su restablecimiento consigo sean resueltos de conformidad con los votos y la conveniencia de la nación.

Why did he want to remark the good values of the hereditary monarchy?

No hay que esperar que decida yo nada de plano y arbitrariamente; sin Cortes no resolvieron los negocios arduos los Príncipes españoles allá en los antiguos tiempos de la Monarquía, y esta justísima regla de conducta no he de olvidarla yo en mi condición presente, y cuando todos los españoles están ya habituados a los procedimientos parlamentarios. Llegado el caso, fácil será que se entiendan y concierten las cuestiones por resolver un príncipe leal y un pueblo libre.

Is his intention to establish an absolute monarchy? Why?

Nada deseo tanto como que nuestra patria lo sea de verdad. A ello ha de contribuir poderosamente la dura lección de estos tiempos, que si para nadie puede ser perdida todavía lo será menos para las honradas y laboriosas clases populares, víctimas de sofismas pérfidos o de absurdas ilusiones.

Who lied to the working classes? Why were they wrong?

[...] Sea lo que quiera mi propia suerte, ni dejaré de ser buen español, ni como todos mis antepasados, buen católico, ni, como hombre del siglo, verdaderamente liberal."

How is he presenting himself, like a conservative or a progressist?

Sandhurst Manifesto. 1st of December 1874. Alfonso XII

• Profits: recent economic evolution,
• Outsourcing: branches or subsidiaries in other countries,

How poor are we?

I knoooooow... it's in Spanish but I couldn't find a better example to explain the situation of some families in Spain, as it's directly related to our book. Take a look at it and reconsider your idea of being poor, even in developed countries:
