While, over the years, my view of the Spanish Civil War has grown more nuanced, my view of Barça has grown ever more romantic. During the era of the Franco dictatorship, Barça was the lone place where the Catalans could shout in their own language and denounce the authoritarian regime.

Although most of the political parties are in favor of retaining a ceremonial monarchy, many on the street are now clear that they want the king to abdicate. "Gyanendra, leave the country," was the most vociferous shout from the crowds. And once Koirala and his fellow politicians have decided upon a role for the King in the new Nepal, they will have to find a way to fix the country's economy, which is in a shambles after twenty days of violence...
