  • Q&A: The keys to the case that affects Juan Carlos I

After the shock of the announced exile of Juan Carlos I, the political forces repositioned themselves as they have in recent months. The Government, PP and Citizens showed their "respect" for the decision of Juan Carlos I, without going into details, and agreed to applaud "the sense of exemplarity and transparency that have always guided King Felipe VI since his arrival in the Head of State ", as they assured from Moncloa.

The other partner of the Government, Podemos, again distanced himself by demanding that Juan Carlos I "be prevented from fleeing" at least until he solves the "pending cases that he has with justice." "Is justice going to allow him to leave?" Asked the spokesman for Podemos in Congress, Pablo Echenique, "could that not hinder his inquiries?"

Social networks have burned this Monday in a cacophonous chorus of whistles and applause accompanying the King Emeritus, Juan Carlos I, in his decision to embark on the road to exile. The loudest voices have been those of the sovereignist forces and the minority parties of the left, who speak of "flight", "scandal", "fraud", "corruption" and are already advocating "preventing him from escaping" and in case finally leave the country, the "extradition".

More restrained have been the reactions of the politicians of the center and the right, who have recalled the historical stature of their figure as an impetus for democracy and take advantage of the moment to defend the current head of state, Felipe VI.

One of the first to express his point of view succinctly, the President of the Generalitat of Catalonia, Quim Torra, who did not hesitate to compare the announcement of the transfer of the monarch emeritus abroad to the flight from Spain of his grandfather Alfonso XIII .

The third vice president of Congress, Gloria Elizo , has also quickly left her comment on Twitter . "There are laws, what is lacking is Justice," she wrote on this social network, followed by Podemos parliamentary spokesman Pablo Echenique, who assured that "people were not asking Juan Carlos de Borbón to leave Spain" and addressed justice remembering that "having pending cases in Spain and so much money to travel and protect themselves, is justice going to allow him to leave? Couldn't that make the investigations difficult? We hope that this is not exactly the reason for the decision and, if so, you are prevented from running away. "

"People ask that the truth about their allegedly corrupt activities be known, that they pay for the crimes they have committed and that they return the evaded taxes," Echenique wrote on Twitter, taking the opportunity to criticize the way in which the King's House has reported about Juan Carlos I.

"Today a communicative modus operandi of the Bourbon family is definitively consolidated," says Echenique, after recalling that "the abdication after the Botswana scandal was also made in the middle of the summer" and that "Philip VI's repudiation statement to Juan Carlos de Bourbon was made the day after the declaration of the state of alarm. "

For its part, the PP sent a note in which it expressed "its most absolute respect for the decision of the King Emeritus", who, in the opinion of the popular , "demonstrates with the statement his loyalty to Spain, to the parliamentary monarchy and to King Felipe VI ".

The formation chaired by Pablo Casado defends the "decisive and decisive role" of Juan Carlos I in the arrival of democracy in Spain and highlights his role so that "we Spaniards enjoy one of the most developed democratic systems in the world".
