First of all, the incessant information about the handling of opaque funds by Juan Carlos I at least during the final stage of his reign produces sadness . Regardless of what is elucidated in the investigation underway in the Supreme Court - and it should be noted that the action of Justice in this case once again demonstrates the strength of our rule of law - there is already too much evidence of more than reprehensible behavior by today's King Emeritus . These performances deserve condemnation on the ethical plane, especially since their protagonist was forced to an exemplary without fault . This does not mean that all the affirmations in the mouth of Corinna Larsen have to be accepted without further ado.Because she has already demonstrated her ease of changing versions and because she follows the strategy that seems best to her to try to save herself from the charges she faces.

All in all, the trickle of revelations undoubtedly causes significant damage to the prestige of the Monarchy . Painful paradox is that it was Don Juan Carlos, during his 39 years on the throne, who with an enviable record of services at the institutional level - services that only very sectarian prefer to ignore - contributed to the great acceptance of the Crown and its image as Estimable both in our country and abroad.

In these complicated circumstances, the action that Felipe VI has been carrying out since 2014 in order to "renew the institution for a new time" , as he promised before the Cortes, stands out even more , adopting important measures to guarantee exemplarity and transparency . The King's pulse did not tremble in March to sharply distance himself from his father after learning of the existence of opaque accounts incompatible with the dignity required of the Royal Family. Don Felipe maintains an admirable mettle in the daily exercise of his functions and is aware of the need to continue making decisions to prevent his father's scandals from undermining the institution that holds the leadership of the State . Hence, steps such as the departure of Juan Carlos I from the Palacio de La Zarzuela are being studied - and should be done with rigor, not a show .

What is irresponsible is that Moncloa is now trying to impose the times on the King . We have seen how Pedro Sánchez has subjected Felipe VI to unacceptable signs of disregard; and, leaving the constitutional mandate, it has not defended him from the fierce attacks by his pro-independence partners . The public marking of Don Felipe through spokesperson Montero and the president himself is yet another demonstration of political populism and lack of institutional respect . What can be expected of any responsible government is that it cooperate with loyalty and discretion with the Head of State to adopt the best solutions to a crisis like this.
