Following an unwritten convention, which stipulates that at least once in each legislature the King symbolically presides over a Council of Ministers , Felipe VI was placed yesterday at the head of the Government table in what supposes a healthy act of institutional normality, despite that a vice president and several ministers have presumed in the past of their contempt for the monarchy. What is unfortunately also common since Sanchez is in the Moncloa is a lack of sensitivity to the work of the King who, as already happened with his recent trip to Cuba, will have to endure unnecessary moments of tension in his next state visit to the White House. Because instead of postponing the approval of the controversial Google rate - against which the US president has repeatedly said, threatening even with tariff reprisals -, the government decided to take a tax measure yesterday that will mainly affect large companies North American telecommunications.
What is inexplicable is that the execution of the new tax legislation has been postponed until the end of the year. The Government could have waited for approval as a gesture towards Felipe VI .
