At this time,
Felipe VI
has recorded
the Speech
.
And, the way things have been, it wouldn't be the worst thing if he hadn't said anything.
Imagine:
12 minutes looking at the screen, with different camera shots, without opening your mouth
.
Mute.
In an eloquent, thunderous silence that translates to being from the staff to the crown.
He would have the empathy of millions of exhausted Spaniards for many reasons, but of course also for a ruling class that, as the anti-Castes chanted before they were,
"we don't deserve"
.
It does not matter if one is a monarchist, a republican or a mid-pensioner.
The daily spectacle of politicians who
believe they have the right to treat the Head of State like a straw doll
is shameful
.
Not because of Don Felipe himself, but because it devalues our democratic quality, the sense of the division of powers and the necessary trust of the citizen in the institutions.
From there, the house of cards collapses.
And it doesn't look like this is going to change in the remainder of the legislature.
Are we going to hold out like this for three years?
Before at least there was a certain fiction.
The parties waited to hear the Speech and then gave their opinions, although in general they were argumentative and cliché.
Yet another Christmas tradition.
But this year, just as the King has already recorded his own, the others
are so shamelessly sectarian that, without even waiting to hear him, they have handed down their verdicts
.
We know that Vox has loved it and that
those of Iglesias have found it fatal because he has not burned like a bonzo before the cameras
.
The worst of all, because it is especially serious, is that of the socialist part of the Government, which is supposed to have the upper hand.
They have spent a whole week ignoring the King, transferring to public opinion the feeling that they are dictating the speech, that they are imposing on him what they have to say.
And, in a gesture of disloyalty never seen before in a parliamentary monarchy, they have released that they have been
satisfied with the content!
And so wide.
Of course, Zarzuela always sends, as is his obligation, the speech to Moncloa and that there is a collaboration.
But the figure of the endorsement can never be confused with the illegitimate interference of an Executive in the
margin of necessary discretion that must accompany every Head of State in order to be able to fulfill his function fairly with neutrality
.
The Speech on Christmas Eve has nothing to do, for example, with the speech of the British Government that the Queen of England reads to open the parliamentary session.
We are confusing and perverting everything.
If the King's Message is already that of Pedro Sánchez, what will be next?
