United We Can, a minor partner of the Government, and its usual partners rejected this Tuesday the possible return of King Juan Carlos to Spain in the coming days once the investigations of the Prosecutor's Office on his personal finances were closed and demanded explanations. Particularly harsh was the UP spokesman in Congress, Pablo Echenique, who denounced that the monarchy is an institution "designed to commit crimes."
"He is laughing at the Spaniards and drawing an institutional problem," emphasized Echenique, for whom, although there is no "judicial reproach" of the former head of state, "there is social reproach", which, in his opinion, "brings Spain closer to the Republic". The purple spokesman lamented that the monarchy is an institution "designed to commit crimes" to the extent that the Constitution, in his opinion, "draws (for the monarchy) a structure that allows crimes to be committed without being judged", which he has described of "lack of democracy and institutions that is not typical of the 21st century and of the EU".
Likewise, Echenique showed his skepticism about the possibility that Juan Carlos I would carry out some kind of act of accountability or give explanations as the Pedro Sánchez Executive repeatedly demands, "especially when we receive information that he is coming to eat well, to haggle and that he explains to his relatives that he is not trained".
Asked about the actions of the current king, Felipe VI, the Podemita deputy called for him to distance himself from the debate "in terms of personal probity" as he understood that the problem "is structural". "We think that it is increasingly less understood in Spain that the head of state is chosen by fertilization and cannot be judged," concluded Echenique.
Faced with criticism from his purple partners, the PSOE spokesman, Héctor Gómez, limited himself to expressing the "maximum respect" for this stay in Spain "if it really takes place" after understanding that "there is no impediment" so that it does not can be produced. "There is no reason to show opposition to this visit," reiterated Gómez, who also showed all the respect of the PSOE to the institution and the work that Felipe VI is doing at the head. "We have too many challenges to attend to and we need a structured country and our current system guarantees us to be a full democracy and we are going to continue strengthening the institution," explained the socialist spokesman.
For his part, the PDECat spokesman, Ferran Bel, was ironic when pointing out that if the previous head of state left two years ago, one thought that if he returned it would be for "something substantial" and not just for a regatta. In this sense, Bel acknowledged that he expected him to appear at the Zarzuela and give explanations about what has happened in relation to his finances. "If he apologized for killing an elephant, for evading taxes and charging illegal commissions, he would at least deserve a press conference," he said. "I don't know if the current head of state is going to be favored" by his father's return "to go to a regatta and perhaps later stop by the Zarzuela to say hello," speculated the PDECat spokesman, for which "who should assess it will be the Royal House."
The PNV spokesman, Aitor Esteban, preferred not to make a lot of blood from the emeritus's visit that he sees "perfectly scheduled", but stressed that it has not been clarified how he has been able to amass a fortune "to leave his lover 65 million euros " alluding to the money he gave to Corinna Larsen. And he warned that Juan Carlos I should carry that "his whole life as a personal shame."
The spokeswoman for EH Bildu, Mertxe Aizpurua, threw sarcasm: "Welcome to the Middle Ages", she blurted out to reproach the emeritus king who, in her opinion, "does not care about what happens to his subjects and only comes to pass review and to take possession of their territories".
The Compromís deputy, Joan Baldoví, demanded explanations from the Royal House for the money that the emeritus king received "and has not declared" and made him ugly that the first thing that comes to his mind is "to tell his crew that he is coming to haggle and that he is untrained". "He is not untrained in having such a hard face that makes many of us feel ashamed". For his part, his colleague from Más País, Íñigo Errejón, called the final episode "embarrassing" which, in his opinion , shows that the king "has lost respect for all Spaniards".
The JxCat spokeswoman in Congress, Míriam Nogueras, considered that it is "incomprehensible" that the "thief" king can return to Spain, but "who sings about him" -referring to the rapper Valtoniyc- or the former president of the Generalitat Carles Puigdemont they can't do it.
The CUP spokeswoman in the Congress of Deputies, Mireia Vehí, denounced this Tuesday that the return of King Juan Carlos to Spain "would seem like a joke if it were not a political scandal of the first order" and blamed the PSOE for all this.
Finally, the president of the PP, Alberto Núñez Feijóo spoke of the issue from Ceuta, where he made it ugly that through the king emeritus "the head of state is eroded", something that in his opinion is encouraged by the Government. "It is a very serious mistake that one part of the government is questioning the head of state and that the other part of the government is, in some way, omitting the defense of the head of state," he proclaimed. Likewise, he was in favor of the king emeritus "being able to return to his country" and stressed that he does not have "pending cases", for which he has "every right to visit Spain".
On the other hand, the deputy spokesman for Ciudadanos, Edmundo Bal, demanded that Pedro Sánchez defend the parliamentary Monarchy against the attempts to "sully" it that United We Can do, while challenging the ministers of the purple formation to leave the Government if they continue to disrespect the Head of State.
Along the same lines, the Vox spokesman, Iván Espinosa de los Monteros, indicated that King Juan Carlos "comes back when he wants and we politicians have nothing to say" while echoing a report published this Tuesday from which it follows that the King Emeritus's trips brought Spain 62,000 million to praise his work: "He brought democracy and defended it from the 23-F coup d'état," he summed up.
