My God, this writer has provoked a state crisis, a schism in the King's family, a conflict in the heart of the monarchy. This writer committed the horrible imprudence of giving news and heard that the gatherings say that in La Zarzuela there is great discomfort about how Don Juan Carlos's trip was reported. Surely it is the responsibility of this writer what the party spokesmen said in Congress one morning when thirteen press conferences were called, thirteen, with special resonance for those who take advantage of the trip to intuit a "republican horizon." If the writer had kept the information to himself, none of that would have been said, the Zarzuela would be a calm sea, no one would reproach Don Juan Carlos for his less decorous passages and Doña Letizia would not have to consider whether or not she is in the family photo of the monday. I'm so sorry!
What the hell! I do not regret anything. It was the news we had all been waiting for almost two years. It was the information encouraged and heated by the Head of State itself from the moment that Don Juan Carlos announced that he was staying in Abu Dhabi, but that he would make trips to Spain to meet with his friends and family. And it was what was expected from the last telephone conversation between King Felipe VI and his father, who communicated an upcoming meeting in Madrid. If the informative episode revealed something, that something was the profound disconnection between Zarzuela and Abu Dhabi. If with the voluntary exile of the king emeritus they wanted to cut all links between the two reigns, with this episode it was shown that the rupture is real, in every sense of the word.
There is something else: the reactions of all the parties that helped Pedro Sánchez to form the majority of the investiture show that there is no political forgiveness for Don Juan Carlos. There is a large silent and not-so-silent majority that continues to love him because of the magnitude of his historical work, but there is an army of political spokesmen – let's remember, only 20 percent of Congress – who insult him with the worst words and continue to pass sentences of guilty and condemning him to endless exile. As someone said, you don't just sign up for emeritus; when the republic is invoked, he points to Felipe VI. Social rejection does not exist if we believe the polls, but there is an activism that, naturally, takes advantage of any circumstance to become visible.
The State, therefore, has a problem: how to close this source of conflict. There are those who say that Felipe VI would have to clarify what the relations are with a man who is nothing less than his father, whatever the facts that caused the schism. And there is a government whose president understands that the emeritus must give explanations to the country. I wonder two things: what could these explanations be, they are not easy, and what is their usefulness in view of the attitude of the Republican parties, more installed on rancor than on the willingness to understand and apologize. And it is that the level of criticism of him is of great height: some of those spokesmen came to reproach Don Juan Carlos for coming to eat well.
Tweety Sánchez is very provocative when he reproaches the PP for "tweets", while with him the National Team plays in Catalonia. One detail was missing: with it, Princess Leonor cannot deliver the prizes that bear her name in Girona either. He would have been more modest.
Governor. Each report by Pablo Hernández de Cos is an exhibition of personal independence and the autonomy that the law recognizes for the Bank of Spain. And a counterweight for fire trucks. Every time a minister shows his euphoria, he will have to end by saying: “unless Hernández de Cos says otherwise”.
Pensions. The dilemma presented to José Luis Escrivá is tremendous: if he raises pensions according to the CPI, he puts the system at risk. If you don't upload them, you impoverish almost ten million people. It seems more of a humanitarian dilemma than an economic one.
Fear. There is only one explanation for his resistance, almost his hatred, to Yolanda Díaz's space "or whatever the hell it's called", which Pablo Iglesias said and that we already know will be called "Sumar": the very understandable, political and human fear of dying .
Flattery. The 4,700 million that Qatar will invest in Spain are not as many as it seems: it comes out to one euro for each praise that official Spain dedicated to the emir.
Insomnia. I just read that we have an epidemic of insomnia. It's strange: economic data is given in the morning. And the control sessions, too.
