Is an overwhelming experience and unforgettable. "At a time of evoking the tragedy of World War I, Sarajevo stopped to hear the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra playing at a ceremony supported by the European Union. The concert took place in the building where was the camera in the city, the last place visited by the Archduke before he was murdered at the hands of Serbian nationalist Gavrilo Princip.

It was a beautiful day to Fernando Francisco and Sofia. The couple celebrated fourteen years a rare love match. An excellent reason, therefore, to the Archduke evade commitments in Vienna, where the Countess Sofya, without having Royal blood, was not well accepted by the remaining nobility. So also, the couple traveled without security."For the first time in fourteen years, they could travel together in the same car", reminds us of the historian Mirsad Avdic. Fernando Francisco and Sofia traveled to Bosnia to attend, on the outskirts of Sarajevo, a few exercises in the armed forces of the austro-Hungarian Empire.The date of June 28, 1914 also emerged as a challenge to the region. By the Gregorian calendar, was also a June 28, but in 1389, (15 June by the Julian calendar), which the Serbs have suffered a historic defeat in the face of the Turks: the famous battle of the field of Blackbirds or battle of Kosovo.Since 1878 Bosnia was then occupied by the austro-Hungarian Empire. "Forty years after the occupation, some people decided to rebel and kill what they understood to be the symbol of this occupation and tyranny", tell us another historian, Slobodan Soja.The young nationalists of the then yet to create Yugoslavia, the proclaimed Mlada Bosnia, a genus of Young Bosnia, was commissioned to prepare the attack against the heir to the austro-Hungarian throne, the symbol of the occupation. The passage of the motorcade, a first hand grenade strikes the Archduke's car and nine wounded. The author of this attack is arrested and the attack failed. Francisco Fernando decides to visit the wounded in hospital. On the way, the driver commits a fatal error. "The driver was Czech, did not notice the signs in German and Austrian made a mistake at turn on the Museum. Fernando Francisco requires you to stop the car. Behind them, six cars cause a traffic jam. Gavrilo Princip was on the other side of the bridge. As he was a diabetic and the attack had failed, the nervousness causes her hypoglycemia, a low blood sugar. In front of a bakery, Princip decided to eat. When going out, see the Entourage of Archduke and decides to take advantage of the opportunity. At one point, see about three feet of Sophia and Fernando Francisco. Fires five shots and kills the Archduke and the Countess. It was chaos. Sofia and Francisco are taken to the hotel. Try reanimates them. Without success, "reports Mirsad Avdic.The assassin, Gavrilo Princip, was 19 years. Escaped the death penalty, allowed only for people over 20. Is sentenced to 20 years in prison and jailed in the same cell that Ivan Kranjcevic, who had caught 10 years for membership in the bombing. We visited the Orthodox cemetery of Kosevo, Sarajevo, where there is a church built in 1939 in honor of Gavrilo Princip and his cronies. The image of Heroes attributed to this group would, however, change in the Balkans after the Decade of 90, another period of profound political changes and the region border."The fall of communism changed things. Desanexaram countries themselves. share the same background and the same points of view on what happened 100 years and, suddenly, everything is questioned. From one moment to the next, something strange happens: Princip and his group come to be revered by the Serbs ", Slobodan Soja, historian points and former Ambassador of Bosnia and Herzegovina in France and in Egypt.Gavrilo Princip was dreaming about the Union of the South Slavic peoples, the peoples of "Yugoslavia". The dream came true, oddly enough, in the year of death of Gavrilo Princip, a victim of tuberculosis in prison: 1918. First with the Foundation of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes, which, 11 years later, would be renamed to Kingdom of Yugoslavia. Seventy-three years later, also this Yugoslavia if he vanished. Again, for weapons. The term "Yugoslavia" remained, however, until 2003, closing the title of Federal Republic which included Serbia, each of which, these days, independent of one another, which also stresses the influence of episode 100 years ago in the face of Europe that we now have.

I wish I could decide what kind of State. "The abdication of King Juan Carlos I brought again to the fore the debate between monarchy and Republic. The Spanish Constitution establishes the monarchy as a system; There would be two-thirds majority in Congress and the Senate to approve an amendment to a constitutional amendment. In this case, the Parliament dissolve itself to open the constitutional process.  For the time being is impossible: 85% of the last Congress voted in favor of the law leading to the crowning of Felipe de Borbón.Pablo Iglesias, founder of the party "Can", insists on a refrendo.

The debate is whether the Spanish legal age and have the right to decide for themselves or if it must continue to abide by the decisions of the elites taken in restaurants without intervention of citizenship ".The Conservatives and the vast majority of Socialists closed ranks around the monarchy."In Spain, there was a broad consensus in 1977 constitutional, to make a Constitution, which is of 1978, which allowed us to have the best time of freedom, peace and prosperity in the history of Spain. Was this consensus that we secured an unprecedented political stability in a country accustomed to huge instability in the transitions of a political regime to another. “"The consensus is lacking in the country.

Is the left wing left the party, which includes the real possibility of a Republic.José Antonio Pérez Tapias. Candidate for Secretary General of the PSOE:"In the Spanish Socialist Workers ' Party Republican memory is very much alive, and in a debate like what is being raised by the abdication of the King, we believe that we must enforce this Republican memory. We should study the possibility of a referendum to choose the monarchy or Republic. In the case of the do, it would be in the context of a constitutional process. Therefore, any parliamentary debate and public has to be done around this issue. “  About the memory of the second Republic: it was a complex period of democratization, with lights and shadows, frustrated by the coup d'etat of 1936 which led to three years of civil war and nearly 40 of dictatorship.On the subject, talked with the academic and historian Juan Pablo Fusi."Of the major reforms of the Republic personally consider correct autonomy to Catalonia, land reform and military reform. The biggest mistake, in the current secular policy perspective was the confrontation with most of all Catholic Spain. In 1931, the monarchy was the biggest problem for democracy. However, to put an end to the dictatorship, the solution, in 1975-1978, was precisely the monarchy ".Some polls show that about 60% of the population believes that sooner or later, the referendum must be carried out. And more than 70% of respondents felt that Felipe VI will be a good King.Among the proponents of the continuity of parliamentary monarchy in which the monarch's actions are totally controlled by Parliament, the voters of various policy options are included. "The abdication of Juan Carlos I improved the assessment of the monarchy. Some polls give twenty points of advantage over the Republic, 55-35%, but the debate, as we have observed, seems to be another: to be able to decide at the polls the State system if you want to ".

The debacle began drawing up to 11 '. João Pereira had everything to cut off a German attack in the area, missed the ball and eventually topple Mario Gotze. Penalty of course, Thomas Muller converted. Rui PatrÃcio guessed everywhere, but there was nothing to do.Portugal's reaction was weak. The Germany controlled and played more relaxed. To 25 ', Nani risks a skim shot and is pertto of the draw. Could be the sign of reanimation lusa, but no. The 27 ', Huigo Abiodun left injured, entered Éder. Almost ready, Gotze lies close to the 2-0, thanks João cut Panesar. In the markup of the corner, however, Hummels jumps between Pepe and Bruno Alves and heads up strong for the second German goal. Ronaldo is exasperating.The 36 ', Coentrão, in excellent position, while leaving the question of being offside, preferred a pass to a shot, losing a good assistance from Moutinho. In the consequent, Éder headed over. A minute later, Pepe became involved in an argument completely unnecessary with Muller and shown the red card straight. Portugal desperately needed the break, that I wouldn't go without another offer with seal of Bruno Alves. Muller took advantage and made 3-0. Paulo Bento cover my eyes. Was right.It was hoped a reaction of Portugal soon at the entrance in the second half, but nothing. Under one, the team was broken and the defense, now led by Bruno Alves, was still taking on water. The Germans controlled, exchanged the ball, did the Portuguese race. Miguel Veloso was never a true CAP and gave lots of space, forcing Mourinho to unfold. Meireles hardly see it. Nani was the most unhappy, the better, but not well. Ronaldo seemed oddly resigned and only in some free attention, although only to 91 minutes tenzha warmed the hands of Neuer.By the half, Thomas Mueller had chance to stand out as the World's top scorer to the condition in this first round. A bid on that Rui PatrÃcio, but also again Bruno alves are very bad in the photo, the Bayern striker took advantage of a «assistance» Portuguese goalkeeper in the small area and signed to 78 ', the third goal in the proof. At this point, I was in the field, Almeira André by Fábio Coentrão Exchange, which injured a muscle alone, at the age of 64. Also Germany was already deprived of Hummels, also through injury.With the three points awarded, the German tragedy confirmed to Portugal in Salvador and Angela Merkel, dressed oddly with the colors of Portugal, applauding in the stands, Ronaldo had his moment finally to 91 minutes. Free law still well away from the goal, the Germans hardly made bareira and the Portuguese captain, that this afternoon was far from being the best in the World, fired a «missile» Manuel Neuer, CR7 defended with class. The final whistle ended the nightmare. The Germany wins again, this time Portugal Germany crushed by four unanswered goals, is leader of the Group G and let Portugal forced to play two final first» logo «phase of Brazil's world. It was very, very bad for Paulo Bento's men.Francisco Marques @frmarques4655
