Pedro Sánchez has already warned that King Juan Carlos owed the Spaniards an explanation for alleged financial irregularities that, despite the fact that they have been filed by the Spanish and Swiss courts, he considered revealed reprehensible and very little exemplary behavior. And, before the eventual and imminent return of the emeritus to Spain, the Government puts itself in profile and assures that it is not responsible for making any decision in this regard. But, in the midst of the new political storm that the return of Juan Carlos is causing on the left and the nationalist parties, the Executive warns that his demand for explanations from the public is still alive. "The president made these considerations, which are as valid today as they were yesterday," assured the government spokeswoman, the socialist Isabel Rodríguez.
Precisely just a couple of weeks ago, the Council of Ministers approved a decree law on the functioning of the Royal House that represents, in the opinion of the Executive, "a step forward in transparency and exemplary" of the current head of state, Felipe VI. “That is the way, that is the path”, Isabel Rodríguez has reiterated.
But the possible return to Spain of King Juan Carlos, scheduled for the end of this week after two years of residence in Abu Dhabi, is a matter in which the Government assures that it does not feel concerned. In Moncloa, in fact, they point out that if it occurs it would be "a private trip" by the former head of state, in which they insist that they do not have and will not have any participation.
The planned temporary return to Spain of King Juan Carlos, the minister spokesperson, Isabel Rodríguez, has repeatedly pointed out this Tuesday, "is a decision that is not the responsibility of the Government." Thus, she has avoided making any statement in this regard, and she has indicated that the one who would have to pronounce, in her case, would be the Royal House.
"The Government is not going to rule on this, because it is a decision that concerns exclusively the Royal House," the Executive spokeswoman reiterated. "This is a personal decision of the emeritus king, his relations are with the Royal House, and we are not going to make any consideration about an issue that has nothing to do with the Government," Isabel Rodríguez has settled.
