My country is a Monarchy, but there is a Democratic system where we cannot choose the Monarch but we can choose the Government. We celebrate elections every four years and tomorrow it is election day.
Many years ago, there was not a Democracy in Spain; the country was governed by a dictator and nobody could vote. In nineteen seventy five, the dictator died and after a difficult process, Spain became a Democracy. The first democratic elections were held in nineteen seventy seven, since then we have held elections every four years.
Tomorrow, we will choose the governments of towns, cities and regions, but we will not choose the governmet of the country in the same elections. We will choose them next year because our current President Zapatero was elected in two thousand and eight
I think that election days are very important days in my country because many people could not express their opinion freely and could not vote during many years. Nowadays many young people think that it is not important and do not vote, it is a very big mistake, because young people are the future of the country and must decide what they want.
In conclusion, we live in a Democracy, and we must take care, we must be free to express our opinion and vote. I have already done by mail.
