Prim is truly a man of his word.
The day after he mentioned the abolition of the tithe to Carlo, he had his party members submit a proposal to abolish the tithe in the House of Representatives.
The current House of Representatives, rather than being a place for collective deliberation, is more like Prim's personal forum. With control over the majority of the seats, Prim easily passed the proposal, thus abolishing the tithe that had burdened Spanish peasants for centuries with such ease.
Before the peasants could even react, the Spanish Parliament was completely bewildered.
Pedro, the chief archbishop of the Spanish Parliament and the Archbishop of Toledo, was full of questions as he incredulously stared at the newspaper in his hands.
The newspaper boldly stated that, according to the vote of the House of Representatives today, the tithe had been abolished throughout Spain, effective immediately!
